Possible Upgrade to mod 2.23 from normal USB menu choice?

@SEB: I do not see a reason why this should not work, since the squashfs1 is .aes ,

Perhaps we need to just add/fix the

configuration.xml and put back the secureboot and generate the

<marssha1_rsa_hashValue> ??

or can we use  <package secureboot="y"> without the hash..hmm

I don't know  how the hash is made though. I'll have to look through the files again

Anyone good with decryption, see the code at

To sum up:  1) US version is available in 1st post. 2) Available in 1st post. 3) Not at the moment (hexcide might be able to provide a way to run samba).

- Not sure what's you looking for in question 4?

  Thanks for your reply.  For #2, if I install the updated BusyBox as mentioned is that change presistent on the device or will I need to reinstall after each power cycle?  Also, I'm still not sure how to make FTP come up automatically every time that I turn it on.  Can someone point me in the right direction?

  Samba would be nice, but FTP will be fine for now.  I'm anxious to give it a shot (but have been delayed due to other, less cool stuff.)

  For #4, I'm was thinking of the HD that is mounted in the FAT+ top slot.  I assume that it will be pretty obvious where it is mounted once I get to FTP in.  That's one of those things that is just as easy to try as to ask up front.

2) If you run BusyBox FTP only as dm mentioned, you'll have to do that every power cycle. The autorun.sh is for autostarting whatever service we want to start. So to restart BusyBox FTP automatically, create a text file  /usr/loca/etc/autorun.sh, and add that same line in there. Every time you power up, this autorun.sh script will be executed and FTP will start.

When BusyBox is installed in a normal way, all the comands are available at the command line. But since we are running BusyBox as static binary, each service must be run as

busybox-mipsel .....

4) 1st USB drive will be mounted as /tmp/usbmounts/sda1, 2nd USB drive as /tmp/usbmounts/sda2 and so on. So it is easy to find it after you logged in through telnet. Usually, the Seagate mini USB port will be assigned as sda1, and other USB ports will followed.

With the ability to create firmware again, we can replace the old busybox with the newer one, creating symlinks to enable the commands to run in the "proper" way. I'm so over typing "busybox-mipsel"

btw, i got YAMJ (yet another movie jukebox) working but it was a paint. maybe ill post how i did it later.

http://www.mediaplayerworld.com/index.php?topic=364.0

basically you install YAMJ and then use the 1073rss skin.

edit the config properties file

and i think you also need to edit one other file they forget to mention as the path is hardcoded in that file

index.xsl or something maybe in the skin. it was hardcoded as /tmp/hdd whatever

so, with this i had a RSS page that had the pictures of the movies and data from imdb etc.

ofcourse i could only use this because i made changes to my main internet menu (see my gui post)

ps if anyone installs OPTWARE , i suggest   install nano , and also i'd suggest putting the files on your USB drive /tmp/usbmounts/sda1.... instead of /usr/local/etc/optware....  since you only have about 50 or something meg of space i think (i did )

hmm so is anyone going to do anything cool ?

with optware this player should be able to do many cool things.

There is a mod for routers i saw that let you attach usb webcams and see them from webpage

[plarsen]

Glad to see the progress on this. Thanks to Seb, dm and others for your efforts.

I think we need to keep the FAT+ running continuously first, before cool stuff can be used does anybody have a good way to prevent the FAT+ from autoshutdown?

[dm]

Since I think constantly writting to the /usr/local/etc is most likelya bad idea (it has limited writes, even if it's a lot)

I've installed OPTware to my USB hd (i have a goflextv btw)

so I used a tool to resize my fat32 partition and free up 1 gig at the end.

Then i created a EXT3 primary partition

then i formated it.

now unix permissions will work properly...

lala

So i think my autorun.sh is this now....

#!/bin/sh
# mount -o bind /usr/local/etc/oleg-optware /opt
mount /tmp/usbmounts/sda2 -o remount,rw
mount -o bind /tmp/usbmounts/sda2/opt/oleg-optware /opt

PS*** I NOW when using this mount to an external sda cant restart after power button. ODD.

I use the power button. it shuts down, but my telnet never dies and the system seems to be running. it looks like it never finishes shutting down so the remote doesnt work . not to big a deal but odd.

If i do not mount then its ok. hmmm

this is what i used. i decided to not install Partition Magic

EASEUS http://www.partition-tool.com/   [from http://en.kioskea.net/faq/1391-free-alternative-to-partition-magic ]

i'll test now installing lots optware since it will all goto /opt which is really the sda2/opt/oleg-optware now

really install nano first! its a full screen editor and VI is complex!

[dm]

ok i JUST got samba working.

it took a few hours and i'm still not sure about the confg file so instructions still to come but

i borrowed some info from

http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=18208

but that .pkc was not avaialble so i used

ipkg install  samba

then made my smb.conf like he said so...

big thing here

"interfaces = 192.168.1.1/24" should be the IP of your media player

to get rid of some printcap error you can use

the follwing in

 [global]

printcap name = /dev/null
load printers = no
printing = bsd

I like to install to /usr/local/etc (only costs around 3MB), and then redirect the output of the services to the USB drive. I think if we run constantly, there are other logs that need to be routed there anyway?
