Try putting it in this file

/usr/local/etc/dvdplayer/script/run_tail

It's a no go. Rebooted system and didn't run it.

Anyone know if the O!Play can handle XviD streams that use GMC?

[tomrwaller]

Hi everyone,

I have just picked up an Asus O!Play and was wandering if there were any plans for a port of XBMC for it?

The device looks pretty powerful in that it can play a vast amount of containers, shame the GUI is a bit rubbish.

I think an XBMC port would make this unit shine!

Cheers.

Tom.

Tried it with F/W 1.11N and got "Unsupported GMC" message on screen.

It's a no go. Rebooted system and didn't run it.

Or add it to the rcS file in /usr/local/etc
Be careful that when you have optware on an external drive you have to wait for it to become mounted otherwise it won't work. Do a x second sleep before you perform other commands.

Interesting thread but I just can't imagine you to run XBMC on a 400MHz MIPS CPU as some forum members hope for...

Hi guys,
I was wondering if you could lend me a hand, I´m trying to install optware.
First, I have a doubt, I tried:

cd /usr/local/etc
mkdir opt
ln -s /tmp/usbmounts/sda5/ opt

being sda5 the secondary NTFS partition of the usb attached hard drive. Then
cd opt
ls -l
And there I see a folder sda5, is this correct?
mkdir tmp
But I see no /opt/tmp or /tmp in /tmp/usbmounts/sda5/

Am I doing something wrong, or just getting it wrong? (totally newbie btw ) I have little space free and I wouldn´t like to kill my O!Play installing optware xD.

Also tried next step:

wget http://www.kovari.priv.hu/download/ipkg-cl.tgz
tar -xvf ipkg-cl.tgz

And it downloads the file but size is crearly wrong (3920) and tar says invalid tar magic, so I tried downloading it directly with the PC and it´s a lot bigger and 7zip opens it without a problem.

[yeahhh]

Hello I am a user from Spain and my English is google :-D
I have a asus o! play and would like to see http flow that comes from a Siemens M750 is possible to launch a dvdplayer command or other binary to see him on screen?

Thank you.

For those of you who were scared by the stories of bricking your O!Play and decided to install optware on a USB drive: I figured out how to do that today. I had to reinstall optware anyway, because I updated my firmware. It isn't straightforward to install to USB drive because the USB drive needs to be formatted to support symlinks. Here is the full list of commands:

WARNING: YOUR USB-DRIVE WILL BE FORMATTED WHEN CREATING THE NEW FILEFORMAT!

Code:

mount / -o remount,rw

mkdir /opt

mke2fs -j -M /opt -L opt /dev/discs/disc0/part1
mount /dev/discs/disc0/part1 /opt

mkdir /opt/tmp
mkdir /opt/tmp/ipkg

cd /opt/tmp

wget http://www.kovari.priv.hu/download/ipkg-cl.tgz
tar -xvf ipkg-cl.tgz
mv /opt/tmp/ipkg-cl /usr/local/bin/
rm ipkg-cl.tgz

wget http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/oleg/cross/stable/uclibc-opt_0.9.28-13_mipsel.ipk
ipkg-cl install uclibc-opt_0.9.28-13_mipsel.ipk

wget http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/oleg/cross/stable/ipkg-opt_0.99.163-10_mipsel.ipk
ipkg-cl install ipkg-opt_0.99.163-10_mipsel.ipk

rm *.ipk

/opt/bin/ipkg update

This way only ipkg-cl will be installed to the O!Play, all other files will be installed to the USB drive, avoiding bricking due to filling of internal HD.

Hi everyone, first time to post.

It seems that my memory is less than... usual?

Code:

/ # df -h
Filesystem                Size      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root                86.8M     85.3M      1.4M  98% /
/dev/mtdblock/2          16.0M      2.1M     13.9M  13% /usr/local/etc
/dev/rd/0                40.0k     40.0k         0 100% /mnt/rd

I'm in 1.11...

[Koenradus]

It's the 1.11 update. I have the same numbers now too...

[kamencesc]

Anyway to watch a unparted disk space? I supose that the new firmware get only the necessary disk space...

I try with fdisk and I get this:

Code:

/ # fdisk -l /dev/root

Disk /dev/root: 90 MB, 90963968 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 11 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Disk /dev/root doesn't contain a valid partition table
/ # fdisk -l /dev/mtdblock/2  

Disk /dev/mtdblock/2: 16 MB, 16777216 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Disk /dev/mtdblock/2 doesn't contain a valid partition table
/ # fdisk -l /dev/rd/0  
Note: sector size is 1024 (not 512)
You must set cylinders.
You can do this from the extra functions menu.

Disk /dev/rd/0: 0 MB, 131072 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 0 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 1024 = 16450560 bytes

     Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/ #

Disk /dev/root doesn't contain a valid partition table <- ? a non 1.11 versions get this too?

I don't know how to get the totally info of memory (like gparted on gnome)

[mrme]

Working with info on this and another site figured out how to run sabnzbd on o!play. First install optware as instructed before then;

INSTAL SABNZBD

--------------------------
ipkg install py25-sabnzbd (wait for prompt to return)

ipkg install par2cmdline

ipkg install unrar

ipkg install unzip

cd /opt/etc

--------------------------
CONFIG SABNZBD

--------------------------
vi SABnzbd.ini

change host = "" in host = "ipadres"

cd /opt

/opt/etc/init.d/S70sabnzbd

[hijack204]

Another firmware release out.

Appears to be mostly bug fixes
