RingoTB: It will be trial and error them to see what actually happens. Both statements may be correct as the section I was looking at was to do with an external USB drive.


I think you are both right. I tried to play a file exported to a USB drive from my fathers unit. It would not play locally, some dialog to the effect: not recorded on this device. When playing by sharing over a lan, I bet it is sharing the keys to decrypt as well. This could either be by files shared using NFS or by network packets. The mtv executable occasionally outputs debug information on broadcast network packets.

This is the output from the mtv executable when I tried playing the file, see also the sending 44 bytes to 255.255.255.255 it's almost broadcasting debug information. I think the code1 and code2 are to do with the mismatch of keys:

Read open("/mnt/ext/(32G)Extreme2/ts/150220202500_003_All New The Graham Norton Show.ts")
Read open("/mnt/ext/(32G)Extreme2/ts/150220202500_003_All New The Graham Norton Show.001.ts")

code1:
0xc2 0x27 0x94 0x21 0x80 0x50 0x1 0xbd 0x37 0x16 0x53 0x52 0x5f 0x54 0x44 0xb5 0xc0 0xb6 0x9b 0xd6 0x8b 0x4e 0xd6 0xdb 0x10 0x65 0xb6 0x61 0x5c 0x98 0xfe 0x22

code2:
0xc2 0xe5 0x71 0x50 0xd0 0x80 0x81 0x3c 0xb 0x1d 0x4e 0x1c 0x43 0x17 0x53 0xe6 0x26 0x90 0xb 0xdd 0x56 0x18 0xce 0x15 0x5 0x60 0xd6 0xb7 0xeb 0x73 0x8d 0xaf

I think the way to handle this in the long run, is to fool the firmware into thinking all broadcasts are SD so they are recorded without encryption.

Hi Ian.  Are both of your 3700s running 6.01NZ software?

http://www.dishtv.co.nz/news/magictv-share-feature-with-601nz-firmware-update.htm

 

The latest MagicTV firmware 6.01NZ has added the MagicTV Share feature to the MTV3700. This feature adds support for LAN Network sharing with multiple MTV3700 units on the same network.

 

After updating with the latest 6.01NZ firmware you can find this new feature located in Magic TV Gadgets -> Network HDD.

 

The MagicTV Share allows you to play recordings on your bedroom MagicTV that have been recorded on your lounge MagicTV. Just settle back in bed and look through your whole collection of recorded programs.

 

Simply choose Network HDD Server on your lounge MagicTV and it will be ready to share it's recordings with any other MagicTV on your network.

 

Now when you choose Network HDD on your bedroom MagicTV you can play recorded programmes from your lounge MagicTV.

Now if we could just come up with an add-on that would access the MagicTV on a raspberry Pi running XBMC we'd have something really useful. Maybe a project for the winter months...

I guess the NFS server access is read-only?

There could be some value to adding an FTP server as a simple alternative for file management purposes. Windows and Linux allow FTP hosts to be "mounted" like a local directory. You could upload m2ts or ts files onto the HDD's /video/ directory and playback in the MagicTV Camcorder "Gadget".
