question 1: I did Install the tar file.

question 2:Right now I play a Movie with English Srt subtitle with the exact same name and everythings is ok.

i did'nt install the binpack ,this binpack installation is neccessary?

[bodhi78]

The tar file includes everything. So there is no need to install the binpack if you used the tar file to install.

The only way to know for sure is: attach your srt subtitle file here, and I will try it out to see if my FAT+ can display it correctly (or post a link where I can download a Farsi subtitle file). And then, if it does not display correctly on my FAT+, you will need to try it on your PC following the same steps inuris did in the thread I posted above (find the arial.ttf file that can be used to display Farsi subtitle, and post that true type font arial.ttf file back here and I will try it,....).

Hamed,

Good news! the current installation of the arial.ttf font in Mod 2.23 tar file does work with Farsi. There is no need to install another ttf file.

Now when you said it did not work, I think it might be just a matter of starting up the FAT+/GoFlexTV correctly. Try this:

- telnet into the FAT+ 

- at the command line, type 

reboot

- wait until the FAT+ menu appear on the TV screen, select the movie file with Farsi subtitle and try to play it. If the subtitle display  OK then congrats :-)

- if the subtitles did not display correctly, telnet into the FAT+ again, and type 3 commands

ps

mount

ls -l /usr/local/etc

- copy the output of all 3 commands and post here.

Dear bodhi I did what you said but again did not show Farsi Character.

and accordint to your post which you said Farsi subtitle diplayed correctly on your FAT+ im thinking maybe I making a mistake in my proccess.

my Goflex TV region is EMEA and when i try to mod with EMEA vesion mod file, Farsi character not displayed then i reinstall US 2.20 FW and telnet to 2.23 US mode file and in the last i install your Tar file and play a movie with Farsi Subtitle and Farsi Character Finally displayed but not correctly.

I'll show you Problem with Picture :

http://up98.org/upload/server1/02/i/fq9i2dar8md1fe53oyyz.jpg

50% of my problem solved(((FARSI Letters displayed))) but text direction in Farsi is right to left but goflexTV from left to right shows the Farsi word that create problem and makes Farsi word unreadable.

OK. So now we know why it was not working for you. If you install Mod 2.23 FW for EMEA region. You will then need to install the latest binpack to have Farsi subtitle working. The tar file was created after I've installed US version of Mod 2.23. There must be some settings in there that caused the subtitle direction to reset to left-to-right. 

Try this first:  reflash the EMEA Mod 2.23 FW, and telnet in and install the tar file. Immediately after installing the tar file, do a reboot by typing "reboot" at the command prompt. See if it works. 

If that reboot above did not work, the problem can be only be solved by reflashing the Mod 2.23 FW for EMEA. And then download and intall the binpack manually. If you're comfortable with Linux command lines, then follow the instructions to install the binpack in the first post, don't use the tar file.

PS. When I compared the letters in the Srt subtitles file with what were being displayed on the screen, the letters looked similar. But since I don't know Farsi, I could not really tell if they were reversed :-) Since they din't look jumbled with weird graphics, I've assumed that they were OK.

[Hamed]

I gonna kill myself.

i do both way you said to me but problem not solved.

dear bodhi I'm so sorry because I took your time.

[bodhi78]

So what did you see after you've installed EMEA Mod FW and binpack? did the Farsi letters display OK? and the direction of the subtitles still reversed? Please describe exactly what you saw on the screen.

[Hamed]

The problem actually is i'dont see any of farsi letters when i use EMEA mod file.

[bodhi78]

Even after installing binpack 1.4?
