P61-Beta Megapack bootcode neutral

[aasoror]

It has jukebox but you have to build the database the jukebox uses and can be troublesome to get working. I'm no novice to anything linux or computer oriented and it took me days to get it to work right and then I wasn't happy with how slow it operated so I looked at the mede8er wall and that was that.

"Thats said if you media storage structure matches the MedeBO's wall then thats for sure the way to go, that said, be advised that you lose all online extras (beside shoutcast) with the MedeBO."

Other than people mostly trying to watch youtube on their tv most of the RSS feeds are dead ends and very little of them ever work and I find the whole IMS worthless in it's present state it has been in over the last year. I can stream most of what is working already through my playon server which has been a decent purchase and not difficult at all to configure.

Its subjective, the easiest way for him to tell is just flash each and see which ones suits him. The medeBO has the best GUI available for the PBO hands down.

The RSS based jukebox is being used successfully on at least different media players. Once past the learning curve, the update is just inserting another entry in the already saved folder list and let it run. Issues like slow rendering has been greatly reduced by using uncompressed BMPs instead of JPGs (tools downloadable from the ACR thread).

IMS is also subjective, the metafeeds that works (as of now) and is regularly updated and is in high definition are diverse enough (for me), I do use playon.tv as a UPnP server (only way to get netflix on the PBO), but the unidirectional nature of UPnP makes it inadequate for any kind of interaction (you can't do a search on you tube -or any other service - using playon.tv instead you can just navigate through the lists).

One very important feature for me (again subjective) is the MOS services, this gives you the ability to play XSPF playlist which is very valuable feature for those streaming live TV.

as I said, its highly subjective, I do have the MedeBO running on my daughter's PBO, it fits her needs nicely, she can easily navigate through the menus and watch her files (which are all a single genre .. "kids") that said my needs are too diverse for that (with a deal breaker to physically sort my file in genres if I want them to be displayed properly and no other view to the movies like IMDB rating, Year ).

Whatever way you go, you are sure to enjoy your PBO

Hello Aasoror
I have a question about
/dev/root folder size. in your post it has 78.6M and 59.3M was used but in my system it only has 21.6M and used 21.6M already.

~ # df -h
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 78.6M 59.3M 19.3M 75% /
/dev/mtdblock/2 69.0M 40.6M 28.4M 59% /usr/local/etc
/dev/rd/0 40.0k 40.0k 0 100% /mnt/rd

This is what mine looks like
~ # df -h
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 21.6M 21.6M 0.0M 100% /
/dev/mtdblock/2 69.0M 40.6M 28.4M 59% /usr/local/etc
/dev/rd/0 40.0k 40.0k 0 100% /mnt/rd


I have one PBO with BC23 with 61 Megapack and another PBO with BC27 with 61Megapack. They both say the same. do you think that might be the reason why i am experiencing freezes some time. If I reflash the FW then it work again.

Thanks

Thats not right, that means the the partitioning step was skipped by the firmware installer.
Try re-flashing, just make sure you downgrade to P02 first.
Best of luck,

Try redownloading the file (might got corrupted).
Try both USB with different USB sticks.
Also make sure that all peripherals are disconnected.

Best of luck,

Thank you! I am wondering if I turn the PBO off, can I do the update again?
