Satellite H7S showing error

[cactikid]

While on laptop i entered Webif to use remote for H7S and on screen i see this and no idea from what the error is.

It is showing an error while performing a software update check. Possibly because the "feeds" are being updated for 6.7. It should resolve by itself. Otherwise, you can disable the update check or update.

I did head over there to check feeds and could not see the symbol , yes H7S , Et8000 and Et 10000 all showing the same.
Cheers @Abu Baniaz

Was in the process of updating to 6.7 as mounts failed to setup , Image flashed and in restoring Plugins it has stopped , clock on front of box on correct time and gone more than 10 mins and not restoring..

Is it a power off at rear all i can do?

 

[Abu Baniaz]

Probably installing a lot of stuff that you have added over the years. Yes, reboot and hopefully should be okay. Wait a minute before switching back on.

 

[cactikid]

Very little on the H7S with only saorview and sat 28.2

Everything seems to be restored except for the hdd and usb drive from the Et 8000 not loading.

You have had lots of network issues. If checking samba is installed and running doesn't solve your issue, maybe:

Ensure devices are mounted correctly on actual devices. ( This is local storage devices, nothing to do with network mounts).

Describe your network setup in your house. Repeaters, wireless access points, homeplugs etc. This could identify a point of failure.

Ensure your enigma receivers have fixed IP addresses. Either set them to use Static IPs or reserve addresses on the router. Yes, you can use hostnames instead of IP addresses.

Recheck your network mounts on your receiver.

That will be a better way to diagnose and more importantly prevent problems.

I have Samba and NFS enabled on all boxes as i had Samba issues years ago

All mounted hdd and ssd on boxes.

All boxes have had their own same Ip address for years.

Virgin router in office running 4 cables around the house to 8 port switches as will update this post with more named info and all units using lan cables.

If lan cables wear out indoors i will be screwed as through floors and panelling.

Thinking a few cables go through other switches and to another switch.

Checking in network on laptop all boxes are listed as well as other connections.

Shouldn't the USB stick be mounted as "USB" or "usb" instead of "sdb1"?

Sorry, my mistake . It is a better test to simply ping every single device to find points of failures.

I have a number of these 5 port switches on Et10000 , Et8000, and had one removed for Zgemma H7s and a different one 8 port to be checked for name.

The externally powered usb hdd is in an enclosure on my Et8000.

Never pinged anything before so unsure of how to ?

1. Open the Start menu
2. Type cmd in the search bar
3. Press Enter
4. Type ping followed by the IP address or domain name you want to ping
5. Press Enter
6. Review the ping results

Think this is what he wanted.

Think this is what he wanted.

I like how you typed 'ping ip address' first 😆

I had not done it before and using Google guides before pulling hair out.

This one is in front room 8 port

Your picture is not very clear, but I think we can make out is OK at the moment. No packet losses or long delays. Next time there is a a problem, try pinging the device first. (Most people take a screen grab instead of a picture :). search internet for "using snipping tool".)

Please do not mix up device mountpoints and network mounts. Your USB enclosure on the ET800 is mounted as "sdb1". I think this is the problem.

Please answer these questions:
Please write down the ip address of all your receivers

What network mounts did you set on the other receivers? Are they trying to access
ipaddressofet8000/usb
ipaddressofet800/sdb1

Et 10000 IP 192.168.0.213
I had initially had all 3 boxes on each box to view and delete recordings on.

Et 8000 IP 192.168.0.11
I had 2 listings in there for usb route or internal hdd.

H7S IP 192.168.0.171
/media/hdd/movie for internal ssd= SanDisk SSD Plus Partition 1
/media/autofs/1921680213/movie
When i enter ET8000 =Directory does not exist

When i unmounted the USB device i could add as HDD2 or HDD3 ?
Other boxes cannot access any mount for the 8000.

Boxes are on Recording modes for a few hours now.

Please refresh my dopey mind on this please.
What network mounts did you set on the other receivers? Are they trying to access
ipaddressofet8000/usb
ipaddressofet800/sdb1

When i had them listed i would enter the usb or hdd on 8000 ip 192.168.0.11.
Knowing me i did it the wrong way?

 

[Abu Baniaz]

Your issue is the storage mountpoints. Can we please fix that. Please do not mention network, do not touch any other boxes.

On the et8000, change the change the mountpoint so it says usb. Once that is done, restart your other boxes.
This is done in Vix menu, not network menu.

 

[cactikid]

Was able to get it changed on the 8000 but not able to restart other boxes as of yet

 

[cactikid]

Rebooted Et 10000 and have 1 drive only on 8000 so need to recheck more.

Maybe i should rename box and mounts to allow me go a different route to usb or hdd.
