Yesterday withdrawn the 1.10.02, but now releasing 1.09.21.06 where the changes made in 1.10.02 are applied, but only keeping the 2.4 Kernel.

The 2.6 Kernel release needs some more time to test / debug before releasing.

Release notes: check the 1.10.02 entry

1.09.21.06 will be released officially soon, beta testers have been informed for the download

Today i’m upgrading to Wordpress 2.6 .. so some items could not work properly during transition .. stay back, relax and stay tuned till I’m ready

Update: Wordpress 2.6 has bugs (hey .. everyone got them!) I just noticed that uploading my images to a non default folder were not working. Lucky the bug can be easily fixed by uploading a new function.php file

I saw a request (but cannot find the e-mail anymore) from someone asking if it could be possible to separate the power ON and power OFF for the CFULLHDMA

Unfortunately, the Power ON/OFF is not only controlled by Firmware. the IR codes are, next to firmware, also controlled by another micro processor (a very small IC on the PCB) so therefor it’s not supported. I’ll keep it in mind.

If you want to have the IR codes: find them here

Due to some issues found during playback of the 1.10.02 firmware I have decided to withdraw it as beta testers would have much more issues causing a crash of the device rather than it is working stable

More info will follow when available

We promised ourselves to start or end a good day with Champagne or a Cava ;-)

We are again busy with firmware(s) … it never stops ;-)

People do not know what ROT13 is .. I wrote somewhere a sentence, but no-one did notice it yet .. It has a easter-egg / feature / functionality hint in it ..

Testing some features/ functions of the CFULLHDMA after some feedback users

I’ve received some new files which are not playable … it’s good to get a lot content to see if it’s playable yes or no ..

Let’s make it available to some people .. ;-)
