Port XBMC for Linux to run on the ASUS O!Play (O'Play / OPlay) media player hardware? - CrashX - 2009-09-28 19:59

O!Play may be compact, but it's fully equipped to play most formats in your digital library. O!Play supports these formats:

Video Compression: MPEG1/2/4, RM/RMVB, VC-1, H.264
Video File Extension: .MP4, .MOV, .XVID, .AVI, .DIVX, .ASF, .WMV, .MKV, .RM, .RMVB, .FLV, .TS, .M2TS, .DAT, .MPG, .VOB
Audio: MP3, WAV, AAC, OGG, FLAC, AIFF
Image: JPEG, BMP, PNG, GIF, TIFF
Subtitle: SRT, SUB, SMI, SSA

O!Play can also bitstream Dolby Digital and DTS Surround audio to your receiver to bring realism to the next level. If you plan on plugging the O!Play directly to your TV set, HDP-R1 can decode those formats and provide a stereo output without headache or hassle.

Found this on Asus forum ( http://vip.asus.com/forum/topic.aspx?board_id=19&model=O!Play%20HDP-R1&SLanguage=en-us ):

You have to telnet the Asus O!Play device (start - run - cmd):

telnet O!PLAY_IP_ADDRESS

Venus login: root

BusyBox v1.1.3 (2009.06.23-08:39+0000) Built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

Sounds like it's linux based also.

This would be awesome if we could get XBMC on it.

I wonder what graphics chip it has.

Thanks for the tests.

It looks like it has 128MB ram and 120MB harddrive ...

Can you please perform some additional tests:

1) Execute "ps" command
2) Execute "du -k > tempfile" command and post the tempfile using pastebin.
3) Network tests (http://wiki.wdtv.org/doku.php?id=network_filesystems_and_data_transfering)

Looks like you are getting 45 MBytes/s on your network ( I presume you are testing from a network drive )

How easy was it to get into linux shell ?
Have you tried installing optware packages ?

Again, thanks for the tests ..
