Not supposed to happen...archiving and a copy???

[KAB]

Recorded an HBO movie on 722K. Dumped it onto EHD. Then moved it "back" to another 722. Stayed on EHD. Took back to 722K, and restored to it. STILL on EHD. Cool..but don't think it should be. Now have three "access" points. Did I miss something?

It shouldn't do that. It should only move the recording, not make a duplicate. Are you able to play all of them?

Watching two of them as we speak!!!
After transfer back to 722k, it was deleted from EHD...BUT, both receivers are still playing it.

 

[MattG@DISH]

Interesting. What software are you running? I'll put in a report for you.

 

[KAB]

Check, Check, double check...both still going...NOTE..They both show the padlock icon in the "recordings" list, but does not affect anything.

These have been happening for awhile ... no biggie, just delete the dup.

Don't get me wrong, but why would I "want" you to put in a report??

This doesn't seem like a real problem, like pixelating video on the half hour and hour every hour, every day for seven months.

Not a dupe on one receiver. Two receivers have what should only be on one.

Oh Good GAWD!!

Yep; I'd see this more as a "good feature". Wish I could get my EHD to do this - then I could move the duplicate copy to a different EHD & would have a backup of the stuff on my EHD!

You can easily copy programs from one EHD to another by connecting it to a PC running Linux. I prefer the Scientific Linux 5.x LiveDVD myself. Drag and drop simplicity.

Note that these programs are encrypted and stay encrypted, and cannot be played from the PC running any OS so far as I know.

Any time I've moved a recording back to my 722 it shows up as Padlocked which I think just means it can't be auto deleted if maximum number ofr recordings is reached. I can still delete them manually.

 

[KKlare]

Well it also keeps you from deleting through restoring another recording over the the recoding you just restored....
Saving you from yourself. Could use different degrees of locking--just not sure that I can even name them.
And sure could use groups on the EHD.
How about:
Deleting recording from both restore and transfer menus?
Displaying the space left on internal as well as external drive?
Renaming or regrouping recordings on external?
Size of recording without having to have an external drive on?

Have you compared it to other distros like CentOS or Ubuntu? I was looking at it awhile back mainly for Cluster Suite and Global File System.

It has not happened in quite awhile but I have seen a transfer stay on the receiver after transferring a copy to the EHD. I think the process hangs up after the last transfer, and so the marker was not sent to the receiver to delete the program.

Just a throw-out of info. First of all, it was an HBO movie (We Bought A Zoo). The 722 I transferred recording TO, has two sets connected...one HDMI, the other component. Yes, when trying to watch the component set (for HBO, etc) we have to turn on the HDMI set. When I made the transfer, wife was watching the set connected via HDMI and the component set was also on. After transfer, it stayed on EHD. Then I put it back on 722K. So, I dunno...but I now have it on both receivers. NOT complaining.

 

[Tampa8]

See if you can reproduce it.....

Do I HAVE to???

On second thought, no way!!!!! Why mess it up?

 

[Tampa8]

lol, I was thinking try doing it with another program set up exactly as when you transferred the one that duplicated......
