can't change $PATH variable via script

KAD is absolutely right and it was designed that way (including the app-plugman-web behaviour) using commandline is like the expert option "I know what I'm doing..."
I think we can simply update the working app-bins by adding <device>SMP</device>, of course WAM has to be patched to use this as well and display only compatible apps.

Regarding missing libraries: this is not surprising atall, go and compare the libs present in stock Live fw and WDLXTV, many libraries were already added by b-rad and those are probably missing on SMP.

so here's what I'm hearing

since I've got svn rights to app.bin repo's
I should patch FileLoop.app.bin - the one working app.bin to include SMP as compatible device
and add libraries required for vim to firmware
then patch the application.xml as well to list SMP as compatible device


that way we'll have 2 working app.bin's to test with

then I'll need to patch WAM to only display compatible app.bin's

once that is done, I should post it up to beta forum,
I'm not hopefull that we'll get many beta testers

but with this many changes, I think some sort of beta testing is better that just pushing it public without any testing

Yea, I think we have to rewrite the firmware version checking when we extend the app-bin repo for SMP. RIght now it should be ok the way you proposed, by ignoring version on SMP.
