Changes

- changed the scheduling plan in Scheduling page to make it from "date, time from, length" to "date, time from, time to"

- put the USB disk to LG PVR to front USB port.
- perform restart of LG PVR (you can restart it from LG Menu or turn off/on, etc...)
- after installation process is done, the PVR is rebooted and ready

No FW is flashed, no other files (as settings or scheduling database).

Thanks keltek,

Thanks for new lgmenu,
I have things the changes,
specially in the recording page, instead of lenght, now indicates the time of finish.
by the way, please, change the spnaish transliton of Longitud into Fin.

that is we do not want the 'Length' word but the 'End' word,

thanks for the good work!!!!!

There!!! Yes!!! but... I've done manually...

Thank you very much!!!

Salu2!

I don't understand... for someone it works, for other didn't.
In the v101 package, there are slightly updated system scripts - rcS and starthddservices.sh with detection of installation package. And next, if you make an update and keep the USB disk inserted, there is second try and the log file is copied to /tmp/hddmedia/lg directory. Can you make following?
- keep the USB with v101 package
- reboot and wait some time after the PVR boot
- post the content of file /tmp/hddmedia/lg/hddservice.log and /tmp/hddservice.log here (in [code] tags)
Thanks

I had to install it manually again. I am trying to post the two logs you asked for, but I could not find it into the path you said.

Look at this Telnet session:


hddmedia is a link to the internal disk (volumes/HDD1) and there is not an LG directory there.

Am I doing something wrong?

Anyway v 1.0.1 is working

Would someone willing to give me remote access to MS450H with two drives? It is for fix installation process. This would be the fastest and most reliable. I would want reboot the PVR few times.

I found the issue why the installation is not done in MS450H.
There is a waiting loop in starthddservices.sh which wait for internal HDD to be ready. At MS450H the internal disk is initialized faster, than external disk at MS400H. And there is still detection of external disk and at least the USB disk. So we need to wait little more. I have added "sleep 20" after the disk is detected and before the USB disk start to be detecting and installation works good. So there will be a next version soon which will repair this issue.

That is good news
Thanks for the investigation.
