Mar 19 09:08:35 <Yuv422> I found the definition for that field in wizdvp
Mar 19 09:08:54 <Yuv422> 0 = tv, 1 = radio and 7 = empty
Mar 19 09:15:51 <rwhitby> excellent
Mar 19 09:16:00 <rwhitby> anything undefined still?
Mar 19 09:16:01 <Yuv422> I really should write it up in the wiki
Mar 19 09:16:11 <Yuv422> yeah a few things
Mar 19 09:16:19 <Yuv422> some header data
Mar 19 09:16:23 <Yuv422> and a few fields
Mar 19 09:20:19 <rwhitby> now that I've got the topfield operational again with automatic favourites processing with perltgd, I can get back to beyonwiz stuff
Mar 19 09:20:33 <Yuv422> :)
Mar 19 09:20:43 <Yuv422> what are you going to work on?
Mar 19 09:20:47 <rwhitby> perltgd is now an optware package
Mar 19 09:21:02 <rwhitby> so the time is right to hook that up to wizremote
Mar 19 09:21:03 <Yuv422> cool
Mar 19 09:25:19 <rwhitby> just need to add a cron file to perltgd and it'll be pretty much done
Mar 19 11:20:04 <Yuv422> well my patched svc.dat file bombed
Mar 19 11:20:20 <Yuv422> looks like I'll need to do some more research
Mar 19 11:20:33 <tonymy01> hey
Mar 19 11:20:38 <tonymy01> what happened
Mar 19 11:20:41 <Yuv422> hey tony
Mar 19 11:20:55 <Yuv422> it brought up the service scan screen
Mar 19 11:21:02 <Yuv422> and wiped my svc.dat
Mar 19 11:21:05 <Yuv422> and favs
Mar 19 11:21:05 <tonymy01> better than a crash
Mar 19 11:21:09 <Yuv422> yeah
Mar 19 11:21:18 <Yuv422> I rigged it up incase it crashed
Mar 19 11:21:27 <tonymy01> how?
Mar 19 11:21:27 <Yuv422> I had a backdoor
Mar 19 11:21:43 <Yuv422> I was running it out of my rc.tests script
Mar 19 11:21:51 <tonymy01> ah, ok
Mar 19 11:22:03 <Yuv422> then copying the svc_new.dat file over the svc.dat file before loading wizdvp
Mar 19 11:22:22 <Yuv422> then I could do a normal boot by booting with the eject mode
Mar 19 11:22:29 <Yuv422> which wouldn't run rc.test
Mar 19 11:22:41 <tonymy01> well thought out
Mar 19 11:23:10 <peteru> Good if you have DP-S1.
Mar 19 11:23:16 <Yuv422> but it looks like wizdvp handles bad service files gracefully
Mar 19 11:23:20 <Yuv422> hehe yeah
Mar 19 11:23:41 <tonymy01> i think the new f/w is ok
Mar 19 11:24:04 <tonymy01> not everything everyone wanted, but a tiny bit better
Mar 19 11:24:06 * Yuv422 feels left out of the beta testing
Mar 19 11:24:22 <peteru> I have not had a chance to install it. Whenever I have a minute, something is recording or someone is using the box.
Mar 19 11:24:24 <Yuv422> HDMI sound sync?
Mar 19 11:24:39 <tonymy01> don't use sound over hdmi
Mar 19 11:24:49 <Yuv422> ah k
Mar 19 11:24:51 <Yuv422> I do
Mar 19 11:25:02 <Yuv422> and HD sync is out I think
Mar 19 11:25:11 <Yuv422> I was using HDMI and TOS before that
Mar 19 11:25:17 <tonymy01> and never noticed synch issues with hdmi vid vs spdif to amp
Mar 19 11:25:17 <Yuv422> and that had sync prorblems too
Mar 19 11:25:26 <peteru> I was hoping that they would get decent support for Matroska encapsulated AC3 and H.264 content. Loads of HD stuff is distributed that way.
Mar 19 11:25:36 <peteru> From the sounds of it, they're not there yet :-(
Mar 19 11:25:39 <Yuv422> mkv
Mar 19 11:25:50 <Yuv422> ?
Mar 19 11:26:04 <peteru> Yes.
Mar 19 11:26:05 <tonymy01> yep mkv
Mar 19 11:26:29 <Yuv422> have you seen the amount of gpl'd code in rompkg
Mar 19 11:26:45 <Yuv422> the linux wireless tools
Mar 19 11:26:55 <Yuv422> and smb stuff
Mar 19 11:27:20 <peteru> Seems to be a busybox like collection of utils.
Mar 19 11:27:34 <Yuv422> wizdvp has parts of the cramfs tools too
Mar 19 11:27:42 <Yuv422> well my disassembled version does
Mar 19 11:27:45 <Yuv422> 1.3.x
Mar 19 11:27:53 <peteru> a number of things in there are now included in current busyboxes
Mar 19 11:44:33 <tonymy01> did you see IanSavs post about steven?
Mar 19 11:44:59 <tonymy01> i certainly hope beyonwiz can throw some more staff at this thing
Mar 19 11:45:24 <tonymy01> or it isn't going to get anywhere very fast any more
Mar 19 11:45:54 <Yuv422> haven't they assured us that there is a whole team working on the firmware!? ;-)
Mar 19 11:46:12 <tonymy01> Ian keeps assuring us... me, I am not so sure.
Mar 19 11:46:29 <tonymy01> I have seen Nazgul in the source all over ths place
Mar 19 11:46:36 <Yuv422> me too
Mar 19 11:46:44 <tonymy01> and for a HD media player box
Mar 19 11:46:46 <Yuv422> I told him that in a post on the forum
Mar 19 11:47:06 <Yuv422> and was told that he was a small part of a much larger team
Mar 19 11:47:17 <Yuv422> I guess they need to keep up appearances
Mar 19 11:53:02 <rwhitby> the new firmware shows the wrong time for me.
Mar 19 11:53:28 <tonymy01> oh, which region have you selected?
Mar 19 11:53:34 <rwhitby> SA
Mar 19 11:54:02 <tonymy01> mind you, i selected nsw and chose DST off, and it showed 11hours offset, and then i chose DST on and it showed 11hours offset... i.e. no change
Mar 19 11:54:09 <rwhitby> but the clock says 9:54pm right now, when it's 10:24 here.
Mar 19 11:54:31 <tonymy01> and i quit and went back in as people were indicating it didn't refresh properly
Mar 19 11:55:14 <tonymy01> shit, they got the timezone wrong for SA maybe>?
Mar 19 11:55:50 <tonymy01> i should get the telnet hack going so I can see if they just used the unix TZ, or if it is hardcoded into WizDVP
Mar 19 12:06:22 <Yuv422> http://pastebin.com/d158b7521
Mar 19 12:06:33 <Yuv422> that's my current svc.dat name changer app
Mar 19 12:06:43 <Yuv422> it's not working on the wiz though
Mar 19 12:06:56 <Yuv422> maybe it didn't match with my fav data
Mar 19 12:07:05 <Yuv422> I'll try some more tests tomorrow
Mar 19 12:07:18 <Yuv422> I'm off to bed now
Mar 19 12:07:23 <Yuv422> cya
Mar 19 14:49:15 <peteru> If Beyonwiz is anything like the half a dozen or so other manufacturers that I worked with, it's usually a one guy show with one or two competent sidekicks and a few more "bodies"
Mar 19 14:49:43 <peteru> If you lose the main guy, things go pear shaped or at least slow down.
