We had to make another firmware as some bugs were found causing the official release not to be postponed but we needed to have these issues fixed.

What we did fix for the 1.12.04 version?

• Fixed subtitles: srt not to be shown correctly on some files which include “.” in the name
• Fixed some issues on photo display. Some jpegs could not not be displayed. (side affect 4:3 issue)
• Fixed NFS not to play ISO correctly.  (Pressing play on ISO file: nothing happened, you needed to press down to open ISO file to select video_ts)

The next one is: i

• i is the next one
• i is the next step
• i is the same
• i is more
• i is .. something you know about later.

a riddle I got to solve .. Stupid e-mails from Santa ..

The history

Finally put the ‘history‘ of this website back online. It all started when I was playing the SMS around the world game …. the rest is history ..

Yeehaaa .. ! .. Happy us: Season 2 of True Blood has been announced. Season 1 is 12 eps only :-(

CFULLHDMA: beta 1.11.21

Ok, it took me long hours debugging why in certain situations the mounting of Samba Shares was failing. In short: not many users whould have seen this bug. Only in certain configuration setups like the one I am using myself. But enough reason for me to tell everyone on the beta list not to use it unless you are willing to suffer the issue not be able to mount.

Afer finding and analyzing the issue the solution was found quick. In short: it had to do with DNS server settings and a time-out setting. Did we solve it: we think so.

v1.11.21

• Fixed: mount time too long for mounting samba share.
• Changed: extended samba mount timeout to see if error 407 (time-out) could be solved.
• Fixed: CH3SNAS & CHD3NET user name login issue
• Fixed: iMedia editting crash issue
• Fixed: one mp3 0 crash issue
• Fix photo issue on Composite TV (4:3 size images)

beta testers will be able to download the firmware later today

Back from business trip

No updates the last few days. I was away for a business trip somewhere in sunny France. We took the Thalys and the TGV (and Metro) .. Quick and easy.

Meanwhile I am home again so a quick update. Tomorrow I’ll check if I have more things to tell yes/no. Now we close the notebook. Working day ends.

Message to self: Server

Server rebooted, NFS backup server added to fstab

Certain processes caused the server not to work as I wanted so reboot was necessary

Fixed certain virtual hosts settings to have /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd starting ok
