    Hi,
    Newbie here, so please be gentle

    My current setup has a FOX-T2 HDR running customised firmware and connected to my NAS. I have just added a FOXSAT HDR into the mix as well, which also has the customised firmware and is also connected to the NAS.

    Now I have a load of recordings from the FOX-T2 that have been copied onto the NAS (which playback fine on the FOX-T2), and although the FOXSAT can see them (i.e. it lists them in media list), when I try and play them I get a message saying that the recording has failed.

    I'm assuming that I have missed something obvious.

    Also, I have a series of MPGs recorded on the NAS which all play fine on the FOX-T2, but the FOXSAT doesn't even see them (I just get empty folders in the media listings). Does the FOXSAT support MPG playback directly or do I need to use AV2HDR (I had assumed since the FOX-T2 played them directly then so would the FOXSAT).

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I think you need to use AV2HDR to create the sidecar files for the FOXSAT.

    I don't know if the FOX-T2 encrypts recordings or not. By default the Foxsat HDR does for HD recordings but not SD ones. That might be something to look into while fault finding this particular problem.

    The HDR-FOX T2 encrypts everything but SD recordings can be decrypted by copying to USB.
