I see they have some netflix code in the 1.45 release. To bad it's missing the /usr/local/etc/dvdplayer/SDK.bin file (menu_US.rss), oh well, you would need the netflix code for activation anyway. Nice to see that it's in the works. The file index is very slow on this release and the A-Z sort indexing still doesn't work right. Well I see vTuner is in this release, cool, been wanting this option for awhile. They need to add a hulu feed.

Hey Playdude,

Installed and tested your 1.45 US release and everything you have installed works great. Thank you again !

I hear 1.55 (Netflix release) is being pushed out. My fat+ doesn't see it yet. Checked the download site and 1.45 is still listed.

I am thinking of trying the mod firmware.  However, I see that the Transmission Torrent Client is running by default.

If I disable the transmission torrent client, will it remain disabled after a reboot (unplug power)?  I would hate to have to disable it after every reboot.

I'll remember to add that option to the web interface. It can be done using the command line. That's why I'm too lazy to do it. Will definitely add that option in the next release.

Playdude,

I 've installed the 1.45 APAC fine, all seems to work as it did before. Exactly as it did before, actually: No Samba filesharing seems to be active. I can ping the FATplus fine (at 10.1.1.2) but that's all; it doesn't seem to appear using nbtstat and I can't figure out how to map a drive letter to it across my LAN on my Vista laptop, as it plain will not show up on the network.

I only have access to the FATplus using this Vista laptop (via wireless, to a router, then via CAT5 to a gigabit switch, and more cable to the FATplus itself). I specifically don't have access to a Linux machine of any flavour, so I'm a bit stuck (that is, I cannot access the FATplus to stuff about with scripts within it etc).

No joy either with trying start > run and \\10.1.1.2 which seems like it *should* work - unless there's something more I need to do to make the FATplus visible on my LAN.

I get the feeling that, unless the Samba included in APAC 1.45 works straight after flashing (out of the box, as it were) I'm out of options...is there any thing I've overlooked?

Many thanks for your efforts so far,

Agarthan

Download putty and use it to ssh or telnet 10.1.1.2. Once you're in, run these commands

ps

ls -al /usr/local/etc

cat /usr/local/etc/runPMP.sh

Then paste the output here.

Playdude, results of telnet session to FATplus on 10.1.1.2 are as follows:

Hope this makes what's going on a tad clearer...

Thanks,

Yes that made it very clear. Looks like that runPMP.sh script is from version pmp1a which didn't call samba and transmission. What version did you flash? Is it this one?

http://fatplus.googlecode.com/files/fatplus-1.45-apac-pmp1b.zip

If you did, then you probably didn't do a cold upgrade, which you need to do to have the newer version of runPMP.sh in /usr/local/etc. After that samba and transmission should start at boot time.

Will have another go tonight (in about six hours from this post) at a proper cold upgrade.

Playdude, a bit of an update:

The image file I used on the USB stick to flash my FATplus was:

     install.img   24th March 2010  128,240 KB

Extracted from

     http://fatplus.googlecode.com/files/fatplus-1.45-apac-pmp1b.zip

Here's a new set of dumps from those lines you supplied earlier - plus my attempting to execute runPMP.sh manually via telnet:

=============================================

It seems that the attempt to mount oleg-optware on directory /opt fails, as there's no such directory to mount it to; samba and the transmissin daemon then fail also.

Any insights appreciated.

Is there a way I can  modify the UI using the source code so that I can display datetime stamp for the files I see in the explorer like window when browsing the network files? I want to be able to sort by date (asc/desc).

Wish the UI was richer but I am really happy with the device in general,

I tried to install the latest EMEA version v1.45.

However it comes with NTSC support and not PAL as i belive most europeans use?

The secound question i have is why not make both NTSC and PAL resolutions available in this mod?
