Will do no good for developers till realtek releases the data they have. The code released doesn't include that. Just the non proprietary stuff.
Both the Sigma and Realtek based units can't do much with things like XBMC till that information is either leaked or the companies decide to release it, which is about the time hell freezes over.

Hello, guys!
I've recenty bought the subj device
and there is a question about it's network features
by default o'play uses a network folder named "HD" for browsing media from other computers in the workgroup
how can I change workgroup name for the device (don't sure I need it 100%, but who knows)
and make it capable of browsing not only from the default folder, but from other password-protected devices in my network as well?
and do it without modifying and installing any opt packages?
I think the point is in mounting some new network places but I don't know how to do that
sorry, I'm a dummy in Linux
could anybody help with this?
thanks a lot

Ok, got it working with Transmission, openSSH with sFTP, but I cannot put samba to work.
I'm using the optware samba distro. Can anyone point me to what I have to do to get a simple basic share after the "ipkg install samba"?
EDIT: just finished a preliminary script for the automated installation of optware.
A-OPTIS: ASUS O!Play Optware Installation Script (v0.1)

EDIT 2: Changed the readme to add HUB support. The script is the same:

After that, do the following steps:
1 - On "Run" command, execute "secpol.msc".
2 - Select "Local Policies" --> "Security Options" on the left pane.
3 - Select "Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level"
on the right pane.
4 - Select "Send LM and NTLM – use NTLMV2 session security if negotiated".
5 - Click OK, close the remaining windows, and restart the computer.

Turning it into an IPTV SetTopBox? - abespl - 2009-12-30
Hello!
Thanks for reading my post in the first place and kudos for all the great work accomplished so far!
My questions is as follows: is it possible to turn Asus O!Play into what's called an IPTV set top box? Essentially, I need to put a custom interface that would play streamed media - kind of like sling catcher, but with my own "graphics"?
Any help will be much appreciated! This is a part of quite a big project, so if you would be interested in helping out we could take it further than the forum!
Thanks a lot uberh4x0rz!!!

Is it possible to get wifi on this puppy with a wifi usb stick? Since the new HDP-R3 has built-in wifi drivers should be possible to install. I have an old wifi usb stick lying around which should be usable in linux. Apparently it is also possible on a WD HD TV (http://www.wdtvc.com/2009/04/06/how-to-config-wifi-usb-adapter-with-wd-tv/)
I hope someone can help!

Is anything more happening with this? Which Optware feed does it use (so I can see what packages are ready for use). Can I have my Optware packages save files across the network or do I need a USB HDD plugged in?
Is there any way to fix the lack of proper network shortcuts in the Asus player? I don't want to navigate down several layers of file structure!!
- tomk - 2010-02-02
Excellent thread - keeping it open for reference, as I just got the O!Play Air (wifi version).
I didn't see this mentioned anywhere, but asus have released the source code here:
ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/asus/Digital_Media_Player/HDP-R1/Others/
Might be of interest.

I recently flashed my router at home with DD-WRT, a Linux based 3rd party firmware that can be installed on a wide variety of routers. DD-WRT has a vast community of contributors who have helped turn my $90 router into a media gem, full of cool toys to tinker with. Namely a fully functional Optware package loaded with torrent, twonky servers, drive auto mounts, Twonky media server, you name it.
Anyway, the reason i bring this up is that i'd really like to see O!Play's horizons expanded like my router's has. Since it seems O!Play is running on a fine Linux kernel, it might be possible for someone clever to capitalize on DD-WRT's implementation of Optware and further it's capabilities.
There's a complete Optware self install script you can read about here: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Optware%2C_the_Right_Way
telnet to Oplay's ip address and wget the Optware install script from the link mentionned in the link above, then parse it in a text editor of your choice and hopefully there'll be some info in there that can be useful.
In the mean time i'll keep streaming from my router's usb drive... but it sure would be nice to get some of the DD-WRT goodies running on the O!Play
Asus O!Play USB Share - thf- - 2010-02-04
Following Leogansky's procedure and a little extra steps, I succeded installing Samba on
O!Play's internal memory! Due to small available internal memory of O!Play, I didn't install
Nano, OpenSSH and Transmission.
Since there is no security, I recommend sharing of O!Play only in your LAN.
So no external stick or drive partition necessary for this.
In order to share drives connected to USB connector of Asus O!Play HDP-R1 do the following:
1. Plug in Asus O!Play's USB connector a Stick containing (in root folder):
(do not use USB HUB; just plug the stick into O!Play's USB connector)
install.img 1.17P Asus O!Play Firmware
(download from http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=sPkRGUeRrpiVYl5K&content=download)
SAMBA.tgz Archived image of Samba for Asus O!Play 1.17P
(build and archived on Asus O!Play 1.17P)
(Use of procedure on different firmware on your oun risk)
mk-share Coppy procedure
You may download the above two files as .zip archive here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/214888481/63b65f1a/Share_OPlay.html
This will work from a regular Windows stick format (FAT); (No need of linux partition)
2. Using remote controll, update your O!Play HDP-R1 firmware to 1.17P
(I have tryed only 1.17P; it should work also with 1.17N - on your oun risk)
(1.18 will not work this way due to WenQuanYiZH.ttf which is no more present)
Set Network IP to fit your LAN
3. Connect with telnet to O!Play
User name: root, no password neded
4. execute the following commands at prompt
/ # mount / -o remount,rw
/ # cp /usr/local/bin/Resource/arial.ttf /usr/local/bin/Resource/WenQuanYiZH.ttf
/ # cp /tmp/usbmounts/sda1/mk-samba /
/ # /mk-samba
/ # /opt/bin/smbpasswd -a root
Set a password at the prompt of the above command
You should be able now to access your O!Play with File Explorer in Windows XP Pro;
Under Wista Home I couldn't access O!Play; it might not be possible and I didn's waste time
with this issue; feel free to dig and let us know the solution
You may now connect your external drive to O!Play.
I was able to transfer files via ethernet while O!Play playing HD movie.
Good Luck !
Once again, thanks to Leogansky, [email protected]
Note: 'mk-samba' is:
#!/bin/sh
mount / -o remount,rw
cp /usr/local/bin/Resource/arial.ttf /usr/local/bin/Resource/WenQuanYiZH.ttf
mkdir /usr/local/etc/optware
ln -s /usr/local/etc/optware/ /opt
tar -x -f /tmp/usbmounts/sda1/SAMBA.tgz -C /opt
echo "\\n" >> /usr/local/etc/rcS
echo "# Samba !!!" >> /usr/local/etc/rcS
echo "/usr/local/etc/optware/startup" >> /usr/local/etc/rcS

Now you can install optware in the opt dir, which is mounted on the pendrive.Code:cd /usr/local/etc
