1. Yeah credit where it's due. I feel dzebrys repackaged all the good stuff into one convenient firmware combo to help out the masses. I for one am grateful.
2. Sucks about the slow boot-up but I suspected as much. A necessary evil.
3. Thanks for the lag fix, recliq. I'll give it a shot when I get home.

Any suggestion Re: my Thumbnail View woes?

this is a great compilation as mentioned, hope he continues to update it. i have tested out the new fw, new themes and etc and find this to be perfect especially since no usb is required. added that piece of code to the config recliq, thanks for that. the beauty of this whole piece of kit is you can customize it the way you want and the way he has set it up would def be the way i wanted ;p and i answered me own questions previously through abit of research, when the new fw gets as user friendly to setup i'll definitely switch.

I get an error trying to activate crontab;

Code: Select all

crontab: chdir(/var/spool/cron/crontabs): No such file or directory

Am I doing something wrong here or is there a directory that I need to create?

to have /var/spool/cron/crontabs created you have to reboot after setting CROND=ON.

Also, is there a way to 'flip' the thumbnails in Thumbnail View? Like from landscape to portrait? I use folder.jpgs of regular portrait style posters for my TV shows etc so instead of what I was used to, they now always appear with unsightly thick black borders on the left and right of the poster with the current Thumbnail View configuration. Generating moviesheets is a nice option but not very Mac-friendly so I don't use it.

sure its doable. saved on my todo list.

Bingo, that did the job. The annoying WDTVExt Plugins lag is now gone. Thanks again, recliq.

And can't wait for the update, dzebrys. It's very cool knowing suggestions are taken onboard.

dzebrys, working beautifully thanks for the great advice again.

I was previously using the firmware "1.02.21.WDLXTV_LIVE-0.4.7.3" and everything was fine and dandy. This morning I upgraded to build 8 of "1.02.21.WDLXTV_LIVE-0.5.1.6".

I had this entry in my net.mounts file in my USB stick and it worked fine in my previous firmware:
xmount 10.41.57.22:/nas/NASDisk-00004/Movies Movies nfs

For some reason the above doesn't work on the new firmware. I also tried telneting into my WDLXTV Live unit to issue the command manually, and this is what I get:
# xmount 10.41.57.22:/nas/NASDisk-00004/Movies movies nfs
mount: mounting 10.41.57.22:/nas/NASDisk-00004/Movies on /tmp/media/usb/movies failed: Input/output error
xmount: xmount 10.41.57.22:/nas/NASDisk-00004/Movies movies nfs ro,ro FAILED WTF?!?

I also tried the following and got the same error message:
# xmount 10.41.57.22:/nas/NASDisk-00004/Movies movies nfs "proto=tcp"


I checked my NAS to double check:
# showmount -e 10.41.57.22
Export list for 10.41.57.22:
/nas/NASDisk-00004/Movies 10.41.57.15,10.41.57.19,10.41.57.215

My ifconfig on my WDLXTV Live unit shows the following:
# ifconfig -a
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:90:A9:75:BB:91
inet addr:10.41.57.19 Bcast:10.41.57.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

Am I missing something...perhaps a step or 2? Thanks in advance!

For the record: This is NOT 1.02.21.WDLXTV_LIVE-0.5.1.6 !!

Please don't start to mix things up here and create even more confusion about WDLXTV versions as there already is.

Sorry, I was just going by what's in the wdtvlive.ver file. So let me rephrase...I flashed build 8 of of this firmware.
