OpenATV starts testing with 3.9.2 kernel

After the release of kernel 3.9.2 and the new drivers by the Ripper, OpenATV has build an image with this new kernel and drivers.

Although the image is absolutely not meant for production, it looks very promissing.
Betatesters are testing the image, to trace bugs, so OpenATV can fix them and build the image for public release.

We would like to emphasize that the current status of the image is pre-beta. It is only meant for beta-testers.
Nevertheless, nice to know that OpenATV works on a new image.

Persian Prince is First with kernel 3.9.2 Image for AZbox ME

Persian Prince:

first build with kernel/drivers 3.9.2 for azboxme :
it has all kernel/drivers updates but gstreamer won't work now , you should wait (no ETA right now)

It's a Tiny release not Lite or Full so don't expect so much just test booting status , drivers ...
don't forget to write your feedback.

Thanks in advance

No more AZplay for OpenRSi

OpenRSi has released a new daily build of the Azbox image, in which they have gone back to the MRUA player to play audio and video content.

Thanks to sattommy, it is now also possible to play ISO and DVD content.

OpenRSi has left Azplay, because it was less stable and development has been brought to a halt.

So, from now on, MediaCenter should be a major step forward.

Changelog:
+ DVD playback
+ ISO playback
-  No longer based on Azplay

Known issue:

• Fast Forward (>>) and Backwards (<<) unstable.
• Subtitle configuration -> green screen

Added issues:

• - Subtitles with utf not shown correctly.

Despite of these issues, MediaCenter should work okay with skip-buttons (1, 4, 7 and 3, 6, 9 keys) and >>| seek button

OpenATV for AZbox released!

Let's see what the guys of Myazbox.de did with some fundraising. Those guys ROCK!!!!

Quote from Zeini on Opensat4all.com:

OpenATV-image is released.

First image on Azbox with running HbbTV. Also Opera as browser is included in this image.

I can advise it espacielly for Azbox Me. Because this box have enough flash and RAM for HbbTV.

But this image is also fine for old boxes (Premium/Elite/Ultra)). Also on old boxes HbbTV is running, if you flash the image on an external USB stick, with minimum 1 GB (faster stick is allways better). In this case you must first install flashexpander from feed. You find it in

press green button < again green button < extensions.

HbbTV you can install from feed online. You can find it in extensions < hbbtv 2.0.

But with installed HbbTV the box will run very slow on old boxes. So I think, it would be better, not install HbbTV on old boxes.

Fundraising and OpenATV, progress.

As reported before , the fundraising of Myazbox.de is very succesfull. OpenATV goes AZbox! Colla posted the about the recent progress. All what we can say: Colla, Myazbox.de, OpenATV and all supporters: thank you for not letting us down!!!! And you are still welcome to support the fundraising!
