Hello!
What about return from this f/w to official?
This is for peoples who afraid to flash without possibility to return back.
Why ask - because used bi2 technology, but official - don't use it.

I'm try now EXT3 variant.
1st strange thing. If turn off Ethernet cable, reboot, and try to go to setup menu - OSD stuck after ~1-2min. So if people reset config and try to setup ips - possible not enough time to do this before its stuck . But may be no problem if cable on - dont try this.
2nd - may be now possible to integrate devtools stuff into flashed (and ext3) f/w? (or only rtmpdump, ffmpeg - 1.02.21 have it by default)
3rd - what about autoframerate - its work?

Now research ext3 version. First impression - looking good, WDTVExt work, my plugins too, but anyway looks like little bit slowest OSD manipulation.

I'm go to research more.

Thank you for this f/w!

Hm... anyway - always got full hard frease after ~60-80 min continuous playback.. (think its WDTVExt "work").

You can always flash back any other firmware, independent of bi2 status.

I will try to reproduce your issues, but I did experience osd lockups because of wdtvext (in network shares). I doubt I can do anything about it, but I'd like you to retest with wdtvext=off just to confirm it doesn't happen there.

Regarding #2 - yes it's possible to integrate them because we have more space now. I'll add it to my todo.
Autoframerate doesn't work - it was a different mod than wdtvext. Maybe you can track down the original developer and ask him to take a look.

Thanks for testing.

If turn off wdtvext looks like not freeze.
BTW signal turned from 1080p50hz to 1080p24hz than played test film.
Anyway dont see the sence if wdtxext dont work..

[mad_ady]

Well, a broken wdtvext is better than no wdtvext... Can you also try with wdtvext=on, but no plugins?

[DJArty]

On and disabled all - freeze

[mad_ady]

Ok. Thanks for testing! I doubt I can do anything about it though...

I need some feedback from somebody with a usb keyboard on 1.05-0.5.2.0 or 0.5.2.1 - plug in the usb keyboard and while in the osd press print screen. Then navigate to /tmp/www-tmp and send me any non-php file.

From what I tested printscreen doesn't do anything, but I was emulating a usb keyboard from my phone so the issue might be on my end (i'm sending sysrq)

[mad_ady]

I've tried the printscreen function again, but this time I also tried navigation in osd via keyboard, and surprise-surprise - there was no reaction to any keystrokes.

I was using my phone as a usb keyboard, and dmesg reports a usb keyboard/mouse hid, but the wdtv doesn't react to keypresses.

Can anybody test with a real usb keyboard (printscreen + navigation) and report back?
