    Hi,

    I tried to record the Olympic Opening Ceremony and it went wrong. (due to the Humax glitch...) I figured out that the recorder has recorded something which is 18Gb large and labelled "0".
    (I figured it out using the FTP on Raydons FW)

    Is there a possibility to "recover" the recording and make it readable for at least a player like VLC. Ideally it would play from the media folder at the Humax menue.

    Any thoughts?
    or even a solution;-)

    The file you are looking at is the time shift buffer file (0.ts). When you watch a channel live this file gets overwritten starting from the beginning, it's this file that gives you the live pause and rewind capability. It's not likely to have any content remaining by now of the opening ceremony.

    It contains HD without encryption so can be played back on a PC.

    If you have Samba installed and have the Foxsat HDD drive mapped in Windows you may be able to play it back directly from the HDD.

    In my case VLC is very stuttery but Nero Kwick Media will play it back OK.

    If there's any content you want to keep, then AV2HDR should be able to convert to a standard recording.

    Yeah I noticed that too with VLC when playing via Samba.
    I also noticed that it plays perfectly if I play via VLC's Universal Plug'n'Play option [via MediaTomb on Foxsat].
