I could help with the DVB-C driver if you guys need any help.

A multiboot support will be exactly one of the most important steps of this E2 project. Thanks for the efforts.

No I can get deeper in the solving of the problem. In the man pages about ramfs is some hint about device setup.
Stay tuned - I'll tell you, if I fixed the boot from nfs/hdd.
@The_Ripper:
Is it possible to also implement setxenv in the code?
Could you build vmlinux with rootfs and change hda1 to hdb1
---init---
# Mount the root filesystem.
mount -o rw /dev/hdb1 /mnt/root
---init---
in /init
it would be very great. I see a lot of things starting which seems not make sense to me in the rootfs part like S90* which loads modules out of MMP/modules/2.6.22 and mounting DISK1 et.al. Are they really needed to start the E2?
I'll have to find a boot way which is nearly similar like ramfs boot or I have to put the rootfs to nfs/hdd to do the same like you do and load it to ram first.
@buyukbang: A simple multiboot is difficult, because I can't see a way to load kernel from external medias like hdd or stick. I always have to get the kernel from tftp.
There should be ported the u-boot to yamon or anyone knows a solution to load from device in yamon.
But may will load different images with the same kernel?
There is a way to backup an image and then restore like Flash****** (E1) or Barry Allen (E2)?
The new driver accept two DVB-S2 tunners? On Premium and Elite?
Yes, sometimes simple workarounds do the hard jobs.
You have to create/enable BA over an opensat img. , than you can load any img. from stick .

Hello,
I read all this "pollued" tread and some people don't understand that before asking new functions now in E2 is inappropriate and too early. It is better to have a firmware with basic functions who works fine and thoroughly tested that to have a firmware which look like a gaz factory. Pray let developers do their job and stop asking everyone and everything. E2 and the official firmware have their own operating philosophy so we must accept the new philosophy that will propose E2. I tell a big BRAVO at the ripper and this team to make abstract at all stupids critics and to look their final target.
Regards.
Hectore
I agree with you,but.....
There are some things that if are not done at this stage,might be impossible to do later.
The order of appointing this questions is at developers discretion.
Ok here is some first test regarding the mediaplayer on e2. Replace the attached files with the one in /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10
Then you should be able to playback some audio formats, mp3, aac, wma (no wmapro yet). Also you should be able to play VOB files. However haven't tested subtitles and stuff yet
You can also test for example mkv files -> but only audio will work. Furthermore currently dts over spdif is on pcm. This can be changed, and both are working.
Regards,
Tommy
One known bug is that is you play a video, after another video, or audio file it will fast forward. This will probably be fixed after the new driver release
If you want to report problems please don't say it is not working. But give clear info on what kind of files are nog working. Codec, mimetypes, etc.
Hello,
I test indeed a VOB file and it plays fine, I also test MP3 with embedded cover and it play the MP3 and display the cover too!
About the know bug in fact it is if you play any media file first and then a video file, it is the video that is displayed in fast forward, but the sound remains at the normal speed. So video finish before audio and you have a black screen and the audio track ends normally to play.
Good jobs, continue your hard works!

Sounds like good progress is made day by day.
Well done team!
Thanks for sharig your testresults PR2!
Thanks to The_Ripper with the modified vmlinux - I'm able to boot from internal HDD now.
It looks that the ramfs is an important part to get it working from any media.
Maybe he will upload this vmlinux here that others can also test software without flashing.
Great news!
Why not You don't upload vmlinux here?
Maybe with a step by step procedure....
Thank 1K
Although it would be nice I think 4@@@@ show seek aproval fro The_Ripper first before uploading.
Let's not put pressure on I've been in the same postion in the past when testing a solution for someone they give you the software on trust.
But it would nice
With instructions
Hehehehe.But it would nice
With instructions
And some screenshots wouldn't kill us, would they???
Great news !!! :respect-055:
I have a ELITE model.... with no internal DISK.
Do you think it would be possible to boot from an USB disk also ?
it would be very nice if you or The_Ripper could upload the modified vmlinux here, and with some instructions/screenshots for us.
Thanks !
It should work also with usb disk. But not all of them will work.
This weekend I will have some more time to go on.
The vmlinux should be released by The_Ripper - I also have to do some thing that it will be more handy to boot from external media. But be prepared to install a tftp server on you PCs.
Need to be clear here that @ 4@@@@ is talking about RAW vmlinux kernel that is loaded over TFTP and serial cable and this vmlinux is not for flashing. I added USB booting too but I dont have a time to test , so 4@@@@ is honored with that task. You can paste link to vmlinux , so anyone who has serial working can try ....
Stay tuned people more good news in comming days/weeks for Azbox receivers
Thx to sattommy for patching dvbmediasink plugin.
