Shows how to hack it to support your own plugins .. http://www.acryan.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=1442 - Madwhack - 2009-10-08 Hey guys I've been watching this thread for a while. I just received my O!Play and I'm looking forward to see what you all think we can do with this device. If you guys need any help with anything let me know but I must say compared to you guys I'm pretty tech incompetent. I only understand about 1 out of 5 posts in this thread I'm also looking for more resources or forums on the O!play. If anyone has anything feel free to share, google's bullion logic makes it quite hard to find much on the O!play (it was hard enough finding this thread!). Cheers! - CrashX - 2009-10-09 Fry's Store has ASUS O!Play - TV HD Media Player for $89.99. - Koenradus - 2009-10-10 Hi guys, I just found this thread been looking for something like this for ages. I would like to offer any help I can give on getting XBMC working on O!Play. I'm a fairly advanced Linux user and owner of the O!Play so any testing questions can be submitted and I will try to answer as fast and complete as possible. Observations so far (using ACRyan topic as guideline to confirm O!Play compatibility)
Ok, that's it for now. Any more you'd like me to test / share? - hijack204 - 2009-10-10 Koenradus Wrote:Hi guys, Filesystem is mounted read only but I had no problems remounting mount -n -o remount,rw / - Koenradus - 2009-10-10 Very nice. But have you been able to run further commands? Say dpkg or use a newer version of BusyBox with more commands? - CrashX - 2009-10-10 Koenradus Wrote:Ok, that's it for now. Any more you'd like me to test / share? Any luck in getting optware and openssh working ? - chrsb - 2009-10-11 Long time reader, first time posting. Since most of these new media players are all based off of the same Realtek-based player, the new CinemaTube would maybe be able to be flashed if the Ausus O!play can be? This model accepts plug-ins according to the manual- http://www.brite-view.com/cinematube.php - hijack204 - 2009-10-11 chrsb Wrote:Long time reader, first time posting. That looks exactly like the o!play interface except the torrent application and upnp - pmcd - 2009-10-11 Koenradus Wrote:Hi guys, I just got an O!Play and the only thing I want is to have ftp (server that is) running so I can move stuff back and forth to a hard drive connected to it. I don't mind formatting the hard drive to whatever will work. Would you please detail how to get an ftp server working on this? Sorry, but my Linux abilities are not up to that (: XBMC on it would of course be wonderful, but for now ftp will have to do for me Thank's, philip - Koenradus - 2009-10-11 If you follow the instructions in this post you should be OK. Pretty straightforward and the same files work on my O!Play: http://www.acryan.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=5637#p5637 - Koenradus - 2009-10-11 CrashX Wrote:Looks like you are getting 45 MBytes/s on your network ( I presume you are testing from a network drive ) Okay, optware up and running: Telnet in, first remount /: Code: mount / -o remount,rw Then install bootstrap. ipkg-cl is extrated by someone on another forum from the xtreamer firmware Code: mkdir /opt Ok that's it. Now, any package can be installed like: "/opt/bin/ipkg install mc" Furthermore to make some room for the packages, and since i'm not chinese , remove those big (total +/- 30MB) fonts: Code: cd /usr/local/bin/Resource/ Before 92.5/203.6 MB free (55% used), after 126.6/203.6 free (38% used), thats better! That's it for now. So to answer CrashX's question: Optware is working... |
