## New Commando 10c image.. back to JFFS2##

[PaphosAL]

If you're running Commando 10c, then going into Standby does automatically switch the channel to PVR_EPG while the box is asleep. Then it switches back to your previously-viewed channel when you wake it up!

C10c is also set to the standard 15 hrs EPG for all channels by default. A spell in Standby will stretch this to 4 Days max.

To switch to 7 Day EPG, you need to use the new Blue button menu: Set my area for 7 Day EPG

You tell it whether you're in pure ntl, TW, or exC&W and bingo! Away you go.

Check out the Daily Timers with Blue > Yellow. This does it all automatically for you each night, while you're counting sheep. With this new Timer setup, you can even save power by putting the box into Shutdown mode before you go to bed!

None of this will function if you insist on unplugging the box from the power each night...

Cheers- AL

Has anyone managed to get VLC working over their intranet? I don't seem to get any audio, and am using VLC 0.8.5 +patch..

Thanks in advance

Does anyone use VLC and managed to get it working on this image? I haven't had any takers..Could this be a bug?

[Frederick]

Yes, I have it running oK, use 0.8.6i with

"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --extraintf=http --sout-transcode-fps 25

in the target.


You haven't forgot to start vlc on your pc first have you, easy mistake !

HAPY NEW YEAR

happy new year to everyone

[chris_digital]

Thanks for the work that went into this image everyone.

Working 90% ok, just a few issues/bugs:

The nightly timers cause the picture to go blank when I switch on in the morning. It is on PVR_EPG and not the last channel I watched and even if I change channel they are blank until I re-boot.
The LCD EPG does not update, even if left for hours on 1 channel. Update time with sectionsd is 30min but still not updating.
No Upnp browser (really miss this, any ideas how to install again).
Audio settings for NAR or English are not saved if I change channels and back again or after a re-boot.
Can't shut-down using remote (holding the power button for a few seconds normally shuts-down but not with this image, it will only go to stand-by).
Boot time takes a while compared to other new images.
7 day EPG is slow to scroll through. Can you browse by day, or jump 24hrs forward? Still checking in 7 day EPG is correct for my area.
yWeb mostly in German.
Streaming and control from yWeb works 50%, still the issues with no picture or sound or both on "some" channels.
Streaming to dBox works fine (for audio, pictures and TS files), jumpy playback for other files via VLC 0.9.8a (may be VLC issue).

Overall a good image. Thanks.
Do you have any fixes for the bugs above?

The nightly timers cause the picture to go blank when I switch on in the morning. It is on PVR_EPG and not the last channel I watched and even if I change channel they are blank until I re-boot.

Press Blue then Yellow and study the 3 Daily Timers. Clearly, the no.2 'Wake-up' Channel timer isn't correct for you, as you reside in TW or exC&W, don't you? So Delete this Timer, then make a fresh Daily Zapto Timer choosing 'your' preferred Channel to show, when you wake the box up from Standby in the morning!
You can even put the box into your beloved Shutdown Mode before you go to bed- and this little lot will still work...

The LCD EPG does not update, even if left for hours on 1 channel. Update time with sectionsd is 30min but still not updating.

By default, sectionsd is in the standard nationwide 15 hour EPG mode. Are you running C10c, or an earlier version? Because going into Standby should zapto PVR_EPG by name - so this should be kosher for all three regions, IF the PVR_EPG channel is in your services.xml file.

A few minutes in PVR_EPG (or in Standby) should increase the standard EPG to 4 Days! See the C10c release notes (does anyone ever read these?) for more info on getting 7 Days EPG up and running, by selecting your Area in the new Blue > Blue > Yellow EPG Menu...

No Upnp browser (really miss this, any ideas how to install again).

Grab it out of an older image that has it, and transplant it. The effort has been concentrated on getting IDE-HDD up and running properly, including XFS. I'm sure if you search pt-1's posts on UnLockers- you'll find all the info on UpNp as a BOT.

Audio settings for NAR or English are not saved after a re-boot or even if I change channels and back again.

So what is var/tuxbox/config/zapit/audio.pid doing? Yes, it looks like this file is renewed each boot, but I'm pretty sure the AD settings on a per-channel basis ARE being remembered for the next session. I'll test this further- but if I'm wrong (not for the first time, and certainly not the last, LOL!)- it's a CVS issue, not unique to C10c...

Can't shut-down using remote (holding the power button for a few seconds normally shuts-down but not with this image, it will only go to stand-by).

Go Settings > Misc > Key repeat-blocker > Delayed Shutdown on and Restart Neutrino, if pressing dbox then (') Power button is too much effort for you.

Boot time takes a while compared to other new images.

Startup Animation? Startup Sound? Commando must-haves, but these undoubtedly add to boot time. Try with them switched off in Driver/Boot Settings.

7 day EPG is slow to scroll through. Can you browse by day, or jump 24hrs forward? Still checking in 7 day EPG is correct for my area.

Have you tried the Vol + / - keys, to Page Up and Down?? Jeez...

yWeb mostly in German.

Maybe coz yJogol is German? But most of it is bi-lingual. Trouble is, when we spend a week making it all 100% English, (as I and others did for C9), he goes and brings out another update, LOL! Nothing stopping you from stripping all the German out of his .yhtm files and making it sensible English. Then sharing this with Renny, Gav, Lincsat ?t al... But there's a few lingering words in nhttpd that might have you stumped- Hex Editor time! (If you can uncompress it...)

Streaming and control from yWeb works 50%, still the issues with no picture or sound or both on "some" channels.

Don't use this, so guessing. Use uCode 0014? SPTS Mode?

Streaming to dBox works fine (for audio, pictures and TS files), jumpy playback for other files via VLC 0.9.8a (may be VLC issue).

What 'other' files?

Rounded corners does not apply to the Commando System Menu (always square).

If you care to re-code shellexec, you might get your rounded corners. Meantime, be thankful that the latest Shellexec at least mimics the colours in your chosen Neutrino Theme - even down to 3D Color buttons!

Can't create a backup with yWeb, when I try to open it with TuxFlash I get an error (empty image, something in German). Laky-Sylas worked ok to back-up this way and used the same version of yWeb.

Utter bollox! Did we forget to click on box 3 for Flash w/o Bootloader before pressing Download button?? Just worked perfectly for me, LOL!

Overall a good image. Thanks.
Do you have any fixes for the bugs above?

What bugs??

One more thing is the image branding!!
Are UkCvs a sponsor of Commando? Text on Boot LCD Logo, boot screen, start-up picture and in menus, plus all the Commando logos. I am in favour of giving credit to the creators and developers but this is a bit too much.

This 'branding' burned into the heart of the image is a peccadillo of the image creator, who is trying to prevent the low-life out there from re-branding his creation, then passing it off as their own work.

It also spreads the good word UkCvs.org around the rest of the boards that decide to host THE Image of 2008. In particular- http://world-of-digital.com who we all believed to be close friends and allies, but in fact prefer to censor any mention of our URL to www.*****.org

There, sorry it's a bit too much for you, but you'll find the same sort of UkCvs branding in SS-Enigma 4.0 too.

I wonder how long it takes for the spies to pull Commando 10c and SS-Enigma 4.0 from their site, pmsl...

Cheers- AL

Oh, and now we know that you're actually talking about the original C10 image, and NOT the Commando 10c image that this thread relates to- perhaps you'd like to start afresh, from post #1 in this thread, m8?

Cheers- AL

[senad82]

thanks for this com.

Sorry but it is Commando 10c I am using, unless there was a problem with the server and I got C10 instead! It is from 20/12/08

Can't get 7 day EPG working so switching back to standard settings. I also get FTA only after switching to PVR_EPG channel for 5 mins.

[richsand123]

I thought 7 day EPG wasn't working either - but discovered it doesn't work in the advanced EPG window, but only on the 'current' channel

[richsand123]

Yes, I have it running oK, use 0.8.6i with

"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --extraintf=http --sout-transcode-fps 25

in the target.


You haven't forgot to start vlc on your pc first have you, easy mistake !

Thanks - I'll try some further tests to see if I can work out why I don't get any audio streaming (it is running on the PC, and I can stream the video but not audio)

[richsand123]

Streaming and control from yWeb works 50%, still the issues with no picture or sound or both on "some" channels.

The lack of picture is almost certainly a network lag problem..

However, I have found that I don't get any audio from either the secondary stream or the NAR stream.

As on some channels the primary stream is NAR, there's no audio.

Can anyone advise if there's a way to get Commando to always default the 'English' audio stream to the primary channel - I thinks this would solve the audio streaming problems with yWeb?

I suspect that the NAR isn't being streamed through yWeb, and although you can select either stream, it only works with the primary (so long as it's not NAR of course)

I did some looking around and saw some v.old posts where earlier versions of VLC needed some special code handles (is that what they're called??) to decode dual audio streams..so wonder if something is up with VLC and it doesn't decode 'non-standard' streams?

bin it

id ditch the image a go elsewhere, load of rubbish

[Renwich]

wow thats constructive feedback , where did you learn how to do it.... toddlers playscheme...?? wernt the same soft knacker kicking off last night, if I rember rightly you have this fantastic rom change defying image, but your not going to share it, you sound just like the member a forum as good as this needs
