Optware for WDLXTV Live

[quidqod]

Noticed a bug in the optware wrapper scripts, they don't handle spaces in filenames for such commands as mv, mkdir etc as they use $@ instead of "$@"

I don't know if that might have a knock-on effect for other commands but it seems to work fine for me after I amended all my wrappers to include that fix. There's also another tweak I've implemented with my installation and that is to name the "opt" directory as ".opt" in the root of the USB drive so it doesn't appear in the OSD menus.

I'd vote for the flash firmware version of your optware installation, I can't get the non-flash ext3 firmware to work with my HD so I'd be a bit stuck without it.

My fix for the wrapper script (/apps/wdlxtv_optware/bin/optware-binwrap.sh) is here http://pastebin.com/sf92Ekc0. Just copy it there and re-run it.

Update: Script now does an "exec", more efficient and doesn't leave the wrapper script in the process table.

Can you paste the edited scripts here?

having ipkg is really useful, thanks! there's some issues but this is great

ok. i just wanted to avoid overload of debugging messages from users due to confusion between ext3 and live optware.
i'll keep maintaining optware live and eventually merge fixes, but i guess the disclaimer should always be clear:
the optware for ext3 is more stable and it should be used in case something doesn't works correctly in the live version.

i have just updated my devices to 0.4.7.3: will test this app.bin on them and report here documenting more in detail on the first post of this thread.

I've installed b-rad's latest optware (wdlxtv_optware.app.bin <--first post), on the latest flash-firmware 0.4.7.3.

Slimrat still doesn't work for me (yes I installed perl and perl-www-mechanize & dependecies):

Code: Select all

# slimrat
This Perl not built to support threads
Compilation failed in require at /opt/bin/slimrat line 47.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /opt/bin/slimrat line 47.

and neither does plowshare because of the "reloc type 0x2f" error you guys are currently working on. (Best of luck this one, this is enemy #1 as far as I'm concerned

Just thought I'd report.

And thanks again for this truly glorious firmware. Expect a £10 donation within the next two weeks or so (after my exams...)

wdlxtv_optware.app.bin is the ext3 version from jaromil, the one from b-rad is named opt.bin.

hi quidqod,

Noticed a bug in the optware wrapper scripts, they don't handle spaces in filenames for such commands as mv, mkdir etc as they use $@ instead of "$@"

I don't know if that might have a knock-on effect for other commands ...

indeed, that would break many other commands accepting multiple arguments.

you are supposed to "escape" the spaces in filenames yourself, explicitly using quotes around them or adding a backslash \ in front of each space.

ciao

jaromil,
that's exactly the problem, your wrapper scripts don't handle spaces. Simply try:
mkdir "One directory" "Another Directory"

And it won't work, creating four directories. My bug fix fixes that. I haven't had any problems with my fix so far.

I've also made another slight amendment to do an "exec" which is more efficient and doesn't leave wrapper scripts in the process table.

Hmmm, board email notifications seem broken for me?

Got this error:

wdtvlive[/]$ ipkg list
ipkg: can't load library 'libipkg.so.0'

Any ideas ? Using ext3 latest firmware and optware-install.sh script ran successful.
