Can't live without YouTube Try that!

[snappy46]

First off I do not take any credit for the following; Secondly I can only confirm that this works perfectly on PBO with 4318 PBRyan firmware since that is the only one I tried this with. It might work with the new PM firmware with IMS feed I just don't know.

Here's the link that explain what to do: http://www.acryan.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=98&t=7753

Now although this is an ACryan link the application that it install has been created for the Asus O'play media player. Wow! isn't it that great I have a PBO running an ACRyan firmware running an Asus application .... you gotta love the similarity between those player's.

Now you might run into a little glitch after the installation when you run the rss feed. The problem is that some of the script make use of the linux command "awk" . This command for some reasons is not present (well it's there but only 0 bytes) on the ACRyan firmware 4318 or 4107. So you need to put this command on the /usr/bin/ directory. I used the awk command that was in P02 after I unyaffs it. Unfortunately I can not attach that file here as an attachment so you will have find one yourself unless someone with one of those fileserver account can put one there and insert the link here.

Again I have not tried to install all the application available on that service package (there are many beside rss_ex) so be careful what you do if you do not have a way of recovering your PBO. I can only confirm that rss_ex is ok to install which is all you need to get YouTube back.

Anyhow just follow the instructions provided in the link and enjoy!

EDIT: Just for those that might be curious I copy the required rss feed "/usr/local/etc/moMenu.rss" to my metafeeds account favorite. If you do not have a metafeeds account you will have to find another way to access that local feed like putting it in the menu.rss file.

Adding something like that in you menu.rss (or whatever they use in the new firmware) between the <channel> and </channel> should do the trick.

<item>
<title>MoMenu</title>
<link>/usr/local/etc/moMenu.rss</link>
<media:thumbnail url="http://www.metafeeds.com/static/images/feed_default.png" />
</item>

Or This

<item>
<title>MoMenu</title>
<link>/usr/local/etc/moMenu.rss</link>
<media:thumbnail  width="120" height="90" >
    <script>
     if (getQueryItemIndex() == 2)
     {
          state=getDrawingItemState();
          if( state == "focus" ){
            "IMS_Modules/Picasa/picasa_focus.jpg";
          }
          else{
            "IMS_Modules/Picasa/picasa_unfocus.jpg";
            }
      }
    </script>
 </media:thumbnail>
</item>

Pick the one that look more similar to the other <item> in the menu.rss file. The second example will create an extra element in your menu selection that will look like picasa so you should have two of them. The picture that I use for the focus/unfocus are from the ACRyan firmware 4318 so location and file name might be different on other firmware you will have to adjust accordingly. You will also have to make sure that the getQueryItemIndex number matches in sequence where it is located in the menu.rss. In the example below it is "2" which mean it should be the second <item> in the channel. Change this number to follow the previous number and make sure no two item numbers are the same ..... I hope I am making sense here ???

For testing purposes I suggest that you just change the link of one of the <item> that already exist. If you like it than create a permanent one.

Hope this help some more.

Hey, Snappy

You don't need an account. Just upload to megaupload anonymously and cp the url here.

I tried to unyaffs P02 but apparently the windows unyaffs I have is unhappy with it, says it's a broken image file.

Here's the link to the awk file that you will have to put in your /usr/bin/ if not already there, beware it might be there but only be 0 bytes which is no good:http://www.megaupload.com/?d=P0NCNCBT

For those that are not sure how to proceed with the copy process of that file here's an easy way:

1) Download the file indicated on the link
2) copy the file (awk) to HDD using network
3) telnet to the PBO then issue the following command

# cd /usr/bin
# mount -o remount,rw
# cp /tmp/hdd/volumes/HDD1/awk ./
# chmod +x awk
# mount -o remount,ro
# exit

Snappy,
PM sent ..

Thanks for this. I'm curious to try it out on the new firmware

[snappy46]

Manage to upload the file by starting my winXP virtual machine on my linux PC and using IE. Link is above, thanks for the tip about megaupload.

Hey, thanks for the info and the upload, Snappy .. I'll post results!

snappy I can't keep up with you man, I have seen the thread over at ACR this morning and intentionally skipped it .. (don't think the title had youtube at that time though).

So many things to do all of the sudden (can't keep my mind out of the freezing DVDPlayer from you know which firmware).

Off to investigate the invisible HDD on the modded firmware.

What's the matter aasoror not wired up as good on the other forum as you are on this one.

Over 2500 post .... I think you are keeping up just fine.

Good luck on the new firmware, just wish I had the time. You must have a very understanding wife/girlfriend. Mine expect me to spend time with her, go figure !!!!

Snappy what did you use to zip up the awk? I'm getting an invalid archive error under winrar.

Edit:
Ok, I see .. it wasn't archived but my windows system insisted on it being an archive ..

Haven't looked at the underlying thing you're doing here but what about the awk in the statically compiled busybox-mipsel binary from busybox.net?
