    Default BETA.P70R2 Moddable bootcode neutral

    Bootcode neutral, for ALL PBO owners.
    SquashFS root image was unpacked and packed as a yaffs2 image (and config.xml modified properly).

    As usual (with any firmware upgrade be it official or custom), please don't attempt unless you can recover serially. This isn't official and is not endorsed by PM in any way.

    BETA.P70R2(BCN)

    Code:
    / # df -h
    Filesystem                Size      Used Available Use% Mounted on
    /dev/root               138.0M     91.4M     46.6M  66% /
    /dev/mtdblock/2          18.0M      1.3M     16.7M   7% /usr/local/etc
    /dev/rd/0                40.0k     40.0k         0 100% /mnt/rd
    P70R2 Megapack

    BETA.P70R2(BCN).megapack

    Code:
    # df -h
    Filesystem                Size      Used Available Use% Mounted on
    /dev/root                78.6M     71.0M      7.6M  90% /
    /dev/mtdblock/2          69.1M     68.7M    436.0k  99% /usr/local/etc
    /dev/rd/0                40.0k     40.0k         0 100% /mnt/rd
    • Squeeze everything in there, both IMS modules from PBO and ACR, metafeeds, xLive and RSS-Jukebox.
    • Unlocked YT in PM IMS menu.
    • Updated moServices, remember to enable BT/SAMBA (partially working more on the later).
    • Added ipkg-cl for optware installation, reworked directly structure for enable write access (without remount) to opt, unicgi and various IMS-Modules folders for a more smooth customizable experience (not to mention faster bootup too).
    • Added Snappy's Simple RSS Jukebox.
    • Added Snappy's Canada weather.
    • Added Tourist's MMS/RTMP support with flvstreamer.


    Tips
    • moServices web interface: access it directly "http://<player_ip_address>/cgi-bin/services.cgi"
    • more space to install optware: remove "/usr/local/bin/scripts/bin" this should free 8 MBs


    TODO's (all help is welcomed)
    • Filter out unused images, they are about 20MB and I think about 3MB of images only gets used in the IMS menus.
    • moServices doesn't work with this firmware whenever a translation is required (this includes YT and any other vedio services except RSS based) not sure about the reason because I have the very same versions of the modules running on P61R1 without a problem (except for shoutcast), I made sure AWK is added properly, any insights ?!




    Release Notes:
    Pre-installation setup: You MUST fully erase your PBO prior to the firmware upgrade to do that follow "tourist" advice below.

    Metafeeds: go to metafeeds.com, create an account (note user name). telnet to the box and remount / as rw. Edit /usr/local/bin/scripts/menu.rss and replace the "username" in the "fav_username" inside the menu.rss with your metafeeds.com account name, or use the following sed command
    Code:
    # sed -i "s/username/YourUserName/g" /usr/local/bin/scripts/menu.rss
    RSS-Jukebox: To get this jukebox running get the TViXiE2Playon!HD (how to here). And the file you will want to edit to add your jukebox path to is in "/usr/local/bin/scripts/Movie_Jukebox/Movie_Jukebox.rss" or in "/usr/local/etc/dvdplayer/savedrss/scripts/Movie_Jukebox/Movie_Jukebox.rss", you will need to remount / as rw when you are editing it as well. For more info about configuring a network based jukebox read here.

    PBO BT web interface : access "http://YOUR.PBO.IP/WebTorrentHome.html"
