Zgemma star recording problem

[PokerFace92]

Hi,


Ok so I have a zgemma and I bought a usb drive for it 64gb. It recorded several shows no problem, then out of the blue it stopped working. I will only record the show I'm watching and it will record a show on a different channel but when I go to play it back the screen it is blank, but I can see it has used up space on my memory stick. Can anyone offer up suggestions, Please!!

might be something you are overlooking but is th box an H2s, are you trying to record HD Channels?

No not hd just standard. The recording will just play a blank screen. Does the memory stick need to be formatted?

Press EPG and set the record on there, check that it is the channel you are on that is recording and not another, it will show the little R on your programme, give it a few minutes then go to your planner and play it to see if it has recorded ok, or showing a blank screen.
What image are you using?

No literally bought the box set up already. The usb I initialised it and then tried to mount it but it won't mount and the epg location will not change

what does it say for your epg location at the moment

Did you get the Micro sd from fleabay? They are a lot of fake micro sd's and usb flash drive around. With an incorrect capacity! They say 64gb but could be no more than 16gb with the firmware alterred.

Try inserting the Micro sd into a card reader and accessing with your pc/laptop if you can, this would give you a definitive answer, if it is the box or the card....

OP says USB drive mate, try format it in NTFS and start again on initialise etc.

Sorry again.. But what does NFTS mean?

 

[Martin346]

When you insert it into your, PC/laptop, press 'format' and there will be an option for 'File System', might be FAT32, change that to NTFS and format

Ok once done will I start the initialisation on the box ?

I started the initialisation once done I went to swap manager and changed to 256mb and activated. Once done I went to epg location and it won't allow me to change to my usb instead of internal flash

 

[Martin346]

Yeah do all the usual, then check the epg location, that has to change to hdd
