- aos007 - 2009-10-12 [QUOTE=pmcd;417538 To get ftp going is there a slimmed down description that you could provide? The only reason I am asking is that at this time there is no disaster recovery for the O!Play which is odd. At least one person seems to have bricked their unit by following the Peter apparoach (in avfroums.com in the uk) which remount the r/o part as r/w and modified some files. The easiest way would be to have optware installed without ever touching the r/o part of the memory. philip[/quote] Yep, that was me. In retrospect my suggestion would be to mount /opt to an external hard drive. Or otherwise be damn sure there's enough space on the internal flash memory. The problem is that you can't easily find that out - because of dependencies. I wanted to install mpd which is normally small but it wanted a whole bunch of space hungry dependencies and it blew up, taking the O!Play with it. Perhaps you can mount /opt externally, try to install ftp or whatever software you want and then AFTER seeing how much space is needed, you should be able to determine if it'll fit on the O!Play's internal flash. - Koenradus - 2009-10-12 aos007 Wrote:... but it wanted a whole bunch of space hungry dependencies and it blew up, taking the O!Play with it... Does that brick it? Or were you able to recover? Mm... on second read of your post I suspect you mean you bricked it... Dude that sucks. I will be sure to wacht out for that. If you would mount /opt on an external drive I suppose it just stops if that is filled, do you agree? - CrashX - 2009-10-12 Koenradus Wrote:4) df -h hmm .. looks like you have double harddrive then hijack204 ..

The rest have to be compiled into the kernel. dmesg seems very lean too but I'd expect this on an embedded device. thanks. - CrashX - 2009-10-12 Quote:: By the look of the files on the ASUS O!Play, it looks like it has wireless drivers .. I wonder if the above adapter work on ASUS as well just by pluggin into the device ? - pmcd - 2009-10-12 CrashX Wrote:WDTV Live ($120US) has 512MB RAM and 512MB Internal Drive .. Interesting as in Canada it's more like 50% more expensive. I don't know what video the WD is using, but they don't seem to support idx+sub subtitles which is odd (hope that is not true). The Asus has been fine for me except for the odd omission that you can't delete files from the attached hardware except via telnet. That is surely something they will fix. Realtek is supposed to come out with a new SDK and I'd imagine a lot will start happening after that. I paid $110 delivered for the Asus (that's Canadian) and the cheapest I can get the WD Live is $150+tax+delivery. Not worth it. If the two were priced the same and I didn't care about subtitles then I'd probably go for the WD Live. What I really want is an upgraded Apple TV Must point out that the MVix Ultio is probably better than either the Asus or the WD Live if you need an internal drive and if you don't care about fan noise... (otherwise, disable the fan and use an external drive like the Asus and the WD Live or many other systems that don't have an internal drive). pmcd Forgot: The WDTV Live doesn't seem to have volume control on its remote which is very odd. |
