Humax 9200T PVT – Linux driver continued
Well it’s coming along. Not exactly quickly, but hey, it’s a learning exercise too.
The main guts are written, however there are several problems left to fix, and that’s before it’s really tested.
Once I’ve done some testing I’ll have to make changes to cope with paths – ATM it only expects a flat structure, but until I know what paths the humax accepts (relative and/or absolute) it’s silly to start writing the code. Depending on how the transfer code works, I might have to put in huge ugly hacks like Andy Chappell had to do. USB is never supposed to transfer bad data, so this shouldn’t be required, but if both he and the elinker code have this problem I’m not hopeful. Anyhow, that code is failing very badly ATM…

Hey Smop
Loving the fact that someone is trying to continue the good fight for getting a linux interface to the humax pvr 9200! I’m running linpus and have managed to install your client and connect to the humax box but don’t get much further than that…
I’ve tried the examples in the readme but get a variety of errors.
Please can you confirm if there is any way to list the contents of the humax and what a complete get cmd should look like – “humax disk 1 get file.ts” ?
Thanks
Moo

You should be able to use “disk 1 ls” to list the files, your get usage is correct.
To be honest I’ve given up – the Humax’s USB is so badly broken it’s a nightmare to pull files off it (I’d basically have to write some more code to refetch the _whole_ file and try and fill in the blanks).
I’d use iplayer/bittorrent etc to grab things these days – it’s far easier

Thanks – yes have iplayer on the go and can always xfer files from the humax using windows but you know how it is when something just bugs you and you want to sort it!
Will let you know if I get anywhere!
