Maybe checkout Foxy https://wiki.hummy.tv/wiki/FTP_Hi-Def_Co...Using_FOXY and or using stripts If you can send me a sample recording I can have a look but I'd need your key for stripts too. Also if you can send the corresponding hmt file I might be able to read the contents directly so you don't need an xml file. I could probably modify the hmt file too.

Send an SD file too, seems they are not encrypted.

I had a look at the FOXY utilities you noted above however the FVP-5000T doesn't produce a .htm file - only .hjm, .hjtsm, .nts and .ts - so it does not seem possible to use the FOXY alternative scripts (is this what you mean by stripts ?) on Linux. I am not sure what you mean by 'I'd need your key for stripts' - which key ?  Copying the recordings to a USB drive using the set top box takes hours even for a single recording.  

Using VLC via the built in DMS server seems to work, at least to be able to view the recordings on my Linux PC but I haven't succeeded in finding a way to save these files so far. All my recordings seem to be encrypted even though they were nominally recorded as SD recordings.

I have copied all the files for a particular recording to my Google Drive and given you full access via: 

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1...sp=sharing

I don't know if you can doing anything with these files but thanks for the offer to try anyway. Please don't spend a lot of time on this.

Regards.

stripts is another program but it may not work. Since you don't have an htm file maybe you are recording to an external drive but it any case there is not much I can do at this point.

Maybe since you are posting this in a Kodi sub forum, you could try Kodi as a player from a DMS/UPnP source. Importing may not hurt if you use the to not record duplicates.

I don't use an external drive, all these recordings are on the internal drive of the Humax.

I was able to connect to the FVP-500T via a Kodi uPnP connection and it would show me the internal disk folder structure it would not give me access to the recordings.

Enough time has been spent on this now. I can use the new Kodi / NextPVR setup to record new programs and will have to retain the Humax box until we have cleared the old recordings from it.

Thanks for your help.
