ASUS HD2 With MOS For PBO

[bizonUa]

- FTP - ftp://x.x.x.x - the anonymous logon, the available directory is /tmp/usbmounts, in which are mounted connected internal HDD and connected external drives;
ftp://root@x.x.x.x - the administrative "root" logon. Home directory - the / (root).

WIFI- put any USB flash (or USB Hub) to another USB port - WiFi must work.

fw upgrade- must work with any PBO_AMP, Official and Semi-Official firmware. Another way- use soft-reset

bizonUa, thanks for your support
in the meantime I screwed up remote - accidentally chose in the menu to disable irfake. and I couldn't bring it back to life - tried to reinstall irfake from within WWW, but no luck. just in case - what should I do - surely there are codes for PBO, but also for some other devices

I managed to escape this situation through telnet by issuing "echo " " | dd of=/dev/mtdblock/0 bs=2048 seek=8192
reboot" and flashing hd2 modded fw

[bizonUa]

Do not disable irfake, remote is not work.
If between quotation marks was 8 spaces, insert the Fat32 freshly formatted flash drive with Your chosen firmware and everything should be OK.
Otherwise, only the hard-reset (SW3) or command erase-m through the console will help You

as I wrote - I managed to force fw upgrade via telnet
tried to play with hd2 version but problems arise:
- the device keeps restarting several times when turning on after power off/on (not standby, complete power off)
- it doesn't recognize my hard drive today (I was able to find it via telnet somewhere in /tmp yesterday evening, today not anymore) = no way to use samba nor ftp
- no shoutcast works over rssex ("can't play media file")

I can only see movies from my network drive, so something is working at least. but surely go back to playon/unixstorm fw as this one is hardly usable. will wait for future releases though

I'm using this ASUS firmware(amp_r7_hd2 with MOS3) during last 3days and so far very satisfied. For me it's lighweight, stable and simple.
This is the way how I had reflashed :
- use serial cable(CA-42) - Aasoror's method
http://www.patriotmemory.com/forums/...er-666-Seconds

- remove HDD before reflashing
- delete all partitions on HDD before inserting it back to PBO
- then format HDD from PBO' menu (by remote control)

Then enable all necessary MOS3 services (access to MOS3 : Your_PBO_IP_address ) - samba, vFtp, mounts, swap on drive e.t.c what you need
Almost everything could be adjustable from MOS3 and works
I had installed also Snappy46's Simple RSS Jukebox on this fw - without any problem - just one additional action was needed (give executable rights to script jukebox_update.sh - by entering "chmod +x jukebox_update.sh" )
Just one problem - most of On-Line services and RSS Feeds are for russian auditory, excluding the famous YouTube

[bizonUa]

the system tries to stop all running services (processes) before shutting down (falling asleep), respectively, when turned on (Wake up) launches them. When an abnormal the end/start of the process may restart.

About "recognize hard drive"- Mos-module System Status will help in the diagnosis of problems (or Telnet commands fdisk,dmesg,mount,...). If ata successfully started and check of HDD is OK - Mos-module Remount Drives help you.
If ata is not started - try to unplug all attached USB devices and restart ( the problem may be in insufficient capacity of the power supply, since the device with this firmware consumes a little more energy)

about shoutcast problem- check source media other way - the other player/service or computer

set up Localization in YouTube settings, RSS Ex is not only for Russians.

Yes, you're right - RSS Ex can be adjustable for another localization, not only RU

To Wishing install OPTWARE with pre-installed MC (Midnight Commander)

The method works on the PBO_AMP-firmwares, where there is a directory /opt in the root, on the

other similar firmware in the absence of the folder /opt in the root - create it.

Requirement - the presence of an Ext3 partition on the HDD. If the Ext3 partition is not present,

create it. If Ext3 partitions are a few, OPTWARE will be installed on the first recognized.

startup script - /usr/local/etc/rc.init/S11optware ( will be written in the rcS, if there is

already no start rc.start or rc.wakeup ).

INSTALL:
1. through Telnet -

cd /tmp
wget http://www.moservices.org/patches/install_opt
chmod +x install_opt
./install_opt

2. reboot

REMOVE:
1. through Telnet -

/usr/local/etc/rc.init/S11optware stop
/usr/local/etc/rc.init/S11optware disable
rm -f /usr/local/etc/rc.init/S11optware

2. Delete folder /optware in EXT3 partition .

I recommend a good program for Windows - AsusOPlay StreamManager, which works perfectly with

PBO_AMP_r8 firmware (HD2 and PlayOnHD skins), which allows you to create/edit/manage playlists (IPTV and Web Radio), adds

according to Your desire, subfolders in the menu IPTV (generated by the program in the ONLINE

-Media menu), services Wilmaa, YouTube, German News (ARD and ZDF Nachrichten), XXX in the ONLINE

-Media menu, can work with 5 PBO in Your network, can access many of the important commands
