Lot of changes for a maintenance release eh? Well I think I took care of most of the bugs in the fw, and even added a couple little extra bits for good measure Read on for the details.

The big problem with 0.4.2.1 was rtorrent. Well I’ve recompiled it with proper xmlrpc support, then I upgraded rutorrent to 3.1 and got all the updated plugins. All the plugins work, or at least don’t give errors when they load. I fixed all the issues with diskspace being wrong, and RTORRENT_DIR not bein abided by too. While I was at it I corrected the deprecated options in rtorrent.rc to make everything as compatible as possible with the current rtorrent. I also added in the command needed to start rutorrent plugins when rtorrent starts, which means plugins like RSS can work from boot now. rtorrent should be sorted. Just remember: RTORRENT_DIR is integral to rtorrent & rutorrent’s operation, so it *must* be set correctly.

Now since I did a lot of tinkering to rtorrent in 0.4.2.2 you should start fresh with all your config files. Do the following from telnet/ssh, or find the corresponding files in ftp and delete them:

rm /conf/rtorrent.rc
rm /conf/rutorrent.*

Since we’re doing a bit of house cleaning, how about we delete deprecated files too :-p

rm /conf/deluge*
rm /conf/lighttpd*

The above two lines should remove the old un-needed files.

I spaced and forgot bagira’s hungarian translation in 0.4.2.1, so it has been included in the firmware for 0.4.2.2. See S00custom-options for how to enable it.

Now I don’t use Pandora, and I know that everyone outside of North America can’t use it either…and the menu icon just bugs the heck outta me…So, I have included a plugin to disable the Pandora binary and hide the menu icon completely. This saves some memory and gets the useless thing outta the way Due to HidePandora being a system plugin it is not accessible through the WDTVExt Plugins menu. It is enabled disabled with telnet/ssh/S00custom-options. There is one extra step to get it enabled, that must be executed once, if you are upgrading from 0.4.2.1:

grep -q '/wdtvext/plugins/HidePandora.plugin.js' /conf/wdtvext-plugins \
|| echo /wdtvext/plugins/HidePandora.plugin.js >> /conf/wdtvext-plugins

Then to hide/disable Pandora:

config_tool -c PANDORA=OFF

Hiding Pandora requires a reboot after PANDORA=OFF has been set. A thread detailing this new feature can be found here.

One more good part, that is starting to finally come together. While 0.4.2.1 had the capability to download all the UMSP plugins from the subversion server, the ability to enable them was lacking, this has now been sorted. Currently only one plugin has this capability, but the firmware now has all it needs so the other plugins will offer this functionality soon. Plugin enabling/disabling/settings are handled through the WebEnd UMSP button.

Oh yes, and I jumped into my time machine and went back to 1998 to generate a new SSL certificate for the subversion server. This means that any of you who could not use the WDTVExt Plugins menu to download or update plugins, or that couldn’t get the UMSP plugins, can now do both.

One last bit…I have included a census script, which contacts the wdlxtv update server to register your device–which helps give me a better idea of how many WDLXTV users there are out there. This is disabled by default and must be manually enabled. The census is completely optional and is up to you whether or not to enable it and let your device be known. If you’d like to enable the WDLXTV_CENSUS, then execute the following option from telnet/ssh/S00custom-options:

config_tool -c WDLXTV_CENSUS=ON

It would be nice if you’d enable it to help show just how popular WDLXTV is.

Now a couple points about the Integrated OSD releases I mentioned in the 0.4.2.1 writeup.

• only onetheme is included in each firmware due to size constraints

• I am waiting to make sure 0.4.2.2 is reported more stable than 0.4.2.1 was before I publish the integrated releases.

There were just a bit too many bugs in 0.4.2.1 to warrant extra releases based off of it. If 0.4.2.2 reports are all (mostly) good, then the integrated releases will show up soon.

If 0.4.2.2 looks stable enough work will immediately start/continue on WDLXTV-LIVE+ too

If you haven’t already read the full writeup for 0.4.2.1, I suggest you do so: WDLXTV-LIVE-0.4.2.1 writeup.

Remember to make threads for any&all bugs you find at forum.wdlxtv.com. We are on the road to perfection. Cheers! –b-rad

Is that enough for one update? :-p Read further for detailed analysis of whats been changed.

Theres been over 400 revisions made to the firmware since 0.4.2.0, and the reason for the long delay is every time we would get close to a release another major feature would get itself worked in that had to be tuned & refined…and this kept happening until I finally put a stop to the madness to produce the masterpiece that is 0.4.2.1. Hundreds, upon many hundreds of hours have gone into this release. Now as much as possible was done to find and fix any bugs, thanks to some of my beta testing crew, but there is no doubt bugs that none of us has found. Be sure to report them to forum.wdlxtv.com

Ok first off, the internal webserver has been changed from lighttpd to Apache–and the webserver has been locked down with domain wide authentication. This gives us a lot more freedom to do things like streaming various sources and youtubeHD without much workarounds, plus it means all of the memory limitations and bugs of lighttpd won’t affect us anymore. The webend has had a lot of work done to it as well. System daemons can now be started/stopped from the webend, which means you don’t have to delve into S00custom-options to enable rtorrent, nzbget, etc. Theres also a snazzy bug report and the information in ‘system tools’ has been refined to make it all a bit more n00b friendly.

Yes, I said rtorrent. Deluge has been removed from the firmware, along with python, as it was a complete hassle to upgrade and took up far too much space for what it offered. Included with rtorrent is the rutorrent webui and a various plugins for it, like unpack & rss. To enable rtorrent, first go to the webend and click on the rtorrent link in the ‘system daemons’ panel and start it. Next reboot/power cycle your wdtvl. Once you’ve rebooted it you will see an rtorrent button in the webend, you must configure rtorrent before you can use it. This entails clicking on the config link and setting a download location. The best way to select a drive to use for downloads is to create a file called .mnt in its root, this will force the drive mounted at boot to ensure it exists when rtorrent is started. A link to the mount table is provided on the config page so you can see values to enter for the rtorrent download location.

One of the nicer bits that is included now is WDTVExt, by the great pibos (bogdan petriou). This software, produced for wdlxtv, allows dynamic OSD customization. What does this mean? Well for one that extended scan time for moviesheets that existed in 0.4.2.0 has been done away with, thanks to recliq‘s moviesheet plugin. There is also now a WDTVExt plugin manager, courtesy of recliq, which allows you to download, enable, disable, and update plugins directly from the subversion repo–so you’re always up to date. There are plugins that allow a variety of extra functionality, like marking media that has been watched / extended chapter navigation / weather / etc. The plugin manager gives you an easy way to use WDTVExt plugins without being an expert.

In addition to WDTVExt plugins coming from the SVN, all UMSP plugins are now downloaded from the subversion repo every boot now too! They all come disabled, but if you navigate to the webend and click on the config link of the UMSP button you can enable/disable/configure all of them individually. Note: no plugins currently have a config page, this bit is being worked on and will come soon. Until then you can enable SVN plugins by making entries in /conf/umsp.php as detailed in the specific plugins faq.

A new codec has made it in too, WMAPro audio support. This contribution is from the asm hacker thespecialist, who is a welcome addition to the dev team. I’m sure a lot of people will be happy to be able to play HD videos containing the codec. thespecialist was also able to debug and solve the issue of missing servers in the ‘network shares’ area, and this fix has been included for you enjoyment.

But, possibly the nicest feature to grace the firmware now is psychodad‘s auto framerate/resolution capability. Yes, this means that now (when you enable it) the framerate will change to the resolution of the video you are watching!!! Upon video completion the resolution/framerate will switch back to whatever you had selected in the OSD. Another piece of psychodad‘s contribution is HDMI resolution enforcement. This feature is for those of you out there who’s display has a bunk EDID and therefore they’ve been stuck with 480P, instead of 720P or 1080P, or for those tv’s (like mine) who contain hidden resolutions not in the EDID. Both of these settings must be enabled manually, and only apply to HDMI connections. To enable this great feature telnet in and execute config_tool -c AUTORES=ON, or uncomment the appropriate line from S00custom-options. To enable forced HDMI resolutions: config_tool -c FORCEHDMI=ON

To partner with psychodad’s auto framerate patch, I have developed an overscan-zoom out correction setting. This allows you to set a custom zoom to happen when videos are played. This means that you can set display to automagically zoom out to 90%, or further if you choose, when a video starts. To enable AutoZoom telnet in and execute config_tool -c DEFAULT_ZOOM=1 (for 90% zoom), or uncomment the appropriate line from S00custom-options.

One other interesting bit, is new localizations have been added and others have been updated and/or corrected. The new localizations include: catalan by jamiroo, dutch by ReMARKable, hungarian by bagira, and greek by staduk. Refer to S00custom-options to find out how to enable these localizations.

This will also be the first major release to have multiple OSD-integrated firmware to choose from. For now the choices are julioJS and PsychoTHC’s great osd mods, with possibly more to come. I will be adding them soon. I *think* thats all the major stuff, besides that there are an insane amount of tweaks, bug patches, enhancements, additional software, and script rewrites. Pretty much nothing in the firmware was left untouched. Is this enough for you? This release is a masterpiece, imho

I’ve gotta take some down time now, I’ve worked solid the last 4 days to get this release ready and as polished as possible and ready for consumption. I hope you enjoy it! Remember to make threads for any&all bugs you find at forum.wdlxtv.com. We are on the road to perfection. Cheers! –b-rad

I am putting out an official release, after much fiddling and patching. Its fairly well tested and everything is working fine for me, YMMV like usual. Its based off the latest official 1.02.21 firmware and is quite good IMHO.

This firmware is being released along with the launch of the WDLXTV.com community. WDLXTV.com contains a homebrew forum, direct download servers, main release page, and subversion repo for development. Yes, wdlxtv is growing up.

The forum is organized like such:

• WD TV HD Gen 1 homebrew forums

• WDTV Gen 2 homebrew forums
• WDTV Live homebrew forums

Yes, this means that you now have moviesheet capability built in to your WDTV Live. You have access to the same three views from my previous video: full screen ‘std’ mode, ‘sheet’ mode, and ‘wall’ mode.

APRIL FOOLS!!!

No really, I did update your firmware live–without any intervention from you and you now have moviesheet capability. Don’t believe me?

How is this possible?

…

Sorry for the bad joke, it just aligned so perfectly. Big thanks again to those who helped me test them.

For more information visit: forum.wdlxtv.com

Update

If you’d like to recreate my original movie sheet tour here is the archive.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THOSE WHO THIS ‘ISNT WORKING’ FOR:
You *MUST* have the ‘Show filesize setting in options OFF’ in order to see sheets for individual movies.

There are three modes:

• sheet – 1280×459 banner

• wall – 500×720 wall
• std – 1280×720 full screen sheet

I go through them in the video in that order, then reverse when I change listing format. Enjoy

Now would be a good time to hunt down some excellent movie sheet generating software. Thanks go out to Titi for providing the Movie sheet templates, which only required a slight amount of tweaking to work on the Live…and again to Titi for getting the ball rolling in the first place, without his jumpstart my code my code would’ve sat neglected–yet almost there.

For more information visit: forum.wdlxtv.com

Sorry for no updates for a while. Its not because there hasn’t been any development, its because theres been so much development that I couldn’t get it to a spot where I could just let it sit and be happy…Well I’m there and will be fully publishing this release after I’m sure its good to go.

In addition to pointing you here I’d also like to point you here. The first link is to the forum post where I keep updates on latest versions and try to accomodate bug fixes.

I keep forgetting to ‘launch’ it, but wdlxtv.com exists and will eventually be the new home for all wdlxtv releases. What does exist and is somewhat active right now is a wiki, that has some information. Anyone wanting to help contribute can sign up for an account on wdlxtv.com and let me know.

I spend a tremendous amount of time hacking the WD TV firmware[s], and producing continuous software updates and enhancements. If you appreciate my efforts please donate a little something using the link below : ) Anything makes my day. Thanks & enjoy.

I’ve finally fixed the NTFS issues that people had been having. NTFS is now confirmed working. Theres a few other good additions as well, like being able to mount a remote FTP as a local directory The ntfs-3g driver is included, by popular demand, for power users to test with NTFS drives to determine if its better at handling high speed writes than the stock driver. I won’t provide any information on using it and if you want to try you are on your own. I don’t recommend testing with ntfs-3g unless you know what you’re doing and are prepared for possible unforeseen consequences–which there might not be any, but you are forewarned.

0.3.4.1
* ntfs-3g-2009.4.4-1 included (power users test at own risk)

0.3.4
* using Paragon NTFS driver, NTFS devices *should* now mount correctly (finally)
* curlftpfs-0.9.2-1 included
* openssl-0.9.8k-7 included
* fixed nzbget webui images not showing up
* Deluge state directory enabled (requires power cycle after changing torrent watch dir)
* fixed timezone setting command in S00custom-options & add export to /etc/profile
