Port XBMC for Linux to run on the ASUS O!Play (O'Play / OPlay) media player hardware?

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.

Below method to get some space is not working I've Asus O!Play HD2 version 2.05

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

Again, thanks for the tests ..

Okay, optware up and running:
Telnet in, first remount /:

Code:

mount / -o remount,rw

Then install bootstrap. ipkg-cl is extrated by someone on another forum from the xtreamer firmware

Code:

mkdir /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

Ok that's it. Now, any package can be installed like: "/opt/bin/ipkg install mc"
Furthermore to make some room for the packages, and since i'm not chinese , remove those big (total +/- 30MB) fonts:

Code:

cd /usr/local/bin/Resource/
cp arial.ttf CHI.ttf
cp arial.ttf JPN.ttf
cp arial.ttf cwheib.ttf
cp arial.ttf cwyen.ttf

Before 92.5/203.6 MB free (55% used), after 126.6/203.6 free (38% used), thats better!
That's it for now. So to answer CrashX's question: Optware is working...

so how is this development looking?

i got a deal on a ASUS O!Play Air HDP-R3 ..

What are the chances i can run XBMC on it ?

Absolutely zero.

Hardware was never capable of running XBMC in the first place. Realteks 1073 chip didn't even have a GPU which is something XBMC requires.

If you want a low cost XBMC set top box go take a look at the Pivos XIOS DS which is exactly that.
