PADI open water DVD kit

Uhm.. een beetje vreemd dat dit boek een beetje lastig online bij gerespecteerde boekhandels (met keurmerk) is te bestellen.

Iemand een tip? We willen ons graag inlezen voordat we graag duiken in Egypte (een welverdiende vakantie over een paar weken, want vorig jaar China was 4 weken buffelen ipv uitrusten) ;l-)

CFULLHDMA: function implementation

A much requested feature is the ability to jump into a movie on time level. Right now we only implemented a jump feature on 50% level.

Our current design is: when entering 50 you will jump to 50% of the movie. This function we will keep (I like it very much).

New: when pressing 0 it will enable the: ‘seek by time indicator’ function and show: 00:00:00 for the time input. If you enter with the numeric keypad the following sequence, for example: 0 010010 than you will jump to 01:00:10 into the movie; 0 005000 will jump to 00:50:00 into the movie. etc..

This is the first step which needs to be completed and if complete than we can also adjust the time jump function using the PREV/NEXT key.

Feature is under development now

As an experiment I have added a kind of ‘bug/feature trac system’ so that everyone can enter his ‘issues’ in it. Maybe this would be helpful for us.

CFULLHDMA: beta firmware 1.09.28.06

  • Just released before the weekend for beta testers: version 1.09.28.06
  • Samba Mount could not be removed after unplugging cable
  • Samba shares could not be found, when you leave the server and you enter it again adding a new Samba share it will not show server list (code scenario)
  • Fixing the display of JPEGs not correctly (grey images with wierd stripe through it)
  • Fixing a space in the URL issue (web interface)
  • Fixing DVD chapter issue (hickup video/audio)
    note: many times IFO files are incorrect and causing issues during playback of a DVD,. So rather denying an error we have to make ways around the error.

Beta program stops 31-07-2008

CH3SNAS: 1.04RC5 firmware

After getting good feedback from various users and testing myself as well I was really unhappy with the way the UPnP server was integrated and causing issues with updates. And not to forget having issues with Playstation 3 and suddenly missing SRT support again (neat feature which is not available within many UPnP servers, so I could get some fame… (I already have cause we do have Kernel NFS ;-) ).

Today a new release for beta testers .. 1.04RC5.

What is extremely important is that after firmware upgrade you NEED to reset the CH3SNAS to factory defaults. If you do not do this than certain scripts will not be updated from firmware into flash.

  1. Fixed:

RFC: SMBMOUNT

Is the following line for mounting samba shares a good one?

smbmount //server/share /tmp/mountpoing -o lfs,codepage=cp437,iocharset=utf8,username=xx,password=xx

Or has someone a better mount line? Like something with CIFS?
