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

CrashX Wrote: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 ..

Yes that was a samba share

Telnet is open to the box by default with no root password.

Nope I haven't tried installing any optware packages.

What are the minimum requirements for xbmc? The interface on this thing right now is pretty weak but if it could potentially be flashed by a xbmc image that would rock.

Quote:This is so funny, O'Play has telnet access and it doesn't have a password of any sort. It's practically begging for people to log in and hack at it. I imagine skilled folks will be looking at this soon. 120776 total memory. BusyBox 1.1.3. Kernel 2.6.12.6.

There is even a running Web server! It has some kind of a simple html+cgi example that adds two numbers the user enters. If you dump your own files into /tmp/www it is going to serve them. Now that's just nuts. Either it was rushed or they WANT people to develop software for it.

Quote:Hi,

I have downloaded that file GPL-Release-90526.zip on the download section for the O!Play and as far as I can see it contains libraries and source code for:

- samba server and swat (a smb.conf html config tool)
- sqlite support
- wi-fi drivers support
- mp3 tag reader source code
- C/C++ libraries for http/https requests management
- An RSS feeds reader
- An UPnP basic client/server?
- File Compression and graphics decompression libraries

What exactly is this for? Are we expected to be able to compile these utilities/libraries with a cross-compiler for MIPS and move the executables into the O!Play?
I mean, it should be all right if this is the source code for building the whole actual system of the O!Play, but this looks just like a collection of tools and libraries...

And, by the way, what about the torrent client already present on the 1.07 version? If you request http://your.asus.oplay.ip/cgi-bin/webtorrent.cgi it responds something about a noninitialized bittorrent client. This is actually something present or just half-baked in there?

Lots of promises there, hope some are true!

Before we even consider xbmc, lets make sure we can install optware packages first ..

Can you confirm the above posts about torrent and webserver ?

Here is optware support for wdtv ... http://b-rad.cc/optware-for-wdtv ... It should work for asus as well I think ..

Newegg has it for $99US with free hdmi cable ..

Nah not that easy...

I'll have to play around.

This is another media player that has the same chipset and memory as ASUS ... Shows how to hack it to support your own plugins ..

Hey guys I've been watching this thread for a while. I just received my O!Play and I'm looking forward to see what you all think we can do with this device.

If you guys need any help with anything let me know but I must say compared to you guys I'm pretty tech incompetent. I only understand about 1 out of 5 posts in this thread

I'm also looking for more resources or forums on the O!play. If anyone has anything feel free to share, google's bullion logic makes it quite hard to find much on the O!play (it was hard enough finding this thread!).

Cheers!
