I installed version 1.24N on my Oplay.
I was able to create a custom install.img to expand /dev/root.
Now I have enough space to create the /opt link.
/ # df
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 87424 85488 1936 98% /
/ # cat /proc/cmdline
mtdparts=rtk_nand:120576k,87424k(/),40960k(/usr/local/etc),13184k rootfstype=yaffs2 root=31:01 console=ttyS0,115200n8r ip=192.168.0.9::192.168.0.254:255.0.0.0:::

I can confirm that atleast on the O!play air and with 1.18P firmware you can modify the values in the 1.18P install image and the file configuration.xml
<image type="yaffs2">
<fileName>package2/yaffs2_1.img</fileName>
<mountPoint>/</mountPoint>
<sizeBytesMin>0x61bd040</sizeBytesMin>
</image>
resulted in free space on root partition to make directories for optware
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 97152 95480 1672 98% /
/dev/mtdblock/2 61440 1360 60080 2% /usr/local/etc
/dev/rd/0 40 40 0 100% /mnt/rd

I have broken the install.img twice now. First with the too large <sizeBytesMin> and second time it seems some files were missing from my install.img.
I just put the original install.img on a USB stick and plug that in. Then I press the reset button and keep it down for 5 secs. Then I unplug the power cord.
When you plug power back you should get a text "preparing for update, it takes a few seconds".
This stayed on for 1-2 minutes and then I saw that the USB stick was being read. o!play searches the stick for install.img and installs that.
Currently I'm trying to find the max value for the root partition. Maybe I need to make the /usr/local/etc partition smaller.
After I get enough space on rot I will install ssh and few other programs to the root, so I'm safe to shut down the telnetd.
After that I need to find some udev magic to mount the USB devies in the same spot every time.

I recently put the 'HDP_R3_FW_118NTSC' firmware update on my media player; I don't get dts or dolby digital coming through my home theatre since I updated it. It comes in as linear pcm now. I'm using spdif raw in the audio settings. Anyone else have this issue? I found on another site I'm not the only one after this update. From what I read; 1.16 is the most stable right now.

Hello,
I'm trying to change the "/" to let write on it, and follow the optware installation instructions:
mount / -o remount,rw
It doesn't give my any error, but when I try to create a dir:
/ # mkdir opt
I get this:
mkdir: Cannot create directory `opt': Operation not permitted
Any idea?
Thank you!

Hi guys,
at first, my respekt to all in here. you do a good job to support.
I read this thread up and down, wondering what i´m able to do with my o play. But, as long there is no chance to get XBMC running on it, i wonder, if i can get access to online HDD´s like windows live ore livedrive like XBMC does. got my stuff in the clouds on livedrive, streaming it with XBMC on different divices in the house.
is it possible, that the O Play can get acces to my livedrive, via ftp, and do the same as XBMC?
please excuse my bad english, not native english speaker.
