Azbox HD ENIGMA2 NEW mediacenter, read please! :)

[hfmls]

Hi, like me, many many users want this box to succeed, not to make Opensat guys rich(:boxing_smiley, but because this box CAN and SHOULD be doing much much better.
One of the TOP features of it, is sigma chip like everybody knows, that means hardware decoding of, i dunno 99% most used codecs at the moment.

That said, we probably all know XBMC and Popcorn hour, and we know that cute thing about having a cover for each movie,fanart, etc etc.
Wouldn't that be sweet to see in upcoming enigma2 releases in mediacenter part?

Check this out:

UPDATE: I FOUND SOMETHING opensource!!
HOPE this would be used in future in azbox hd.

Well today i was browsing in the (amazing team/forum) that AAF is, and i noticed a new feature/plugin/mediacenter for atevio i think.:respect-023:

My intention on creating this thread is to see if anyone wants to jump on the boat and try to get his guys to adapt this to "our" ENIGMA2.
:drool5:

IF I'M SAYING ANYTHING BAD OR WRONG PLEASE CORRECT ME.
THANK YOU.

surely would be an asset to the Box or another like it. but hfmls stilts already getting very excited again

[killerno]

would be awsome!!!could you move this topic to AzBox HD E2 Newbie Questions pls.
cheers

[hfmls]

it's a different project, on the side. The_Ripper "only" does the hard part, drivers.
sattommy was investing his time in mediacenter but he doesn't have time anymore, he will release sourcecode of what he has done.

And since this is opensource, why not use it?
I'm talking about project valerie

[hfmls]

edit: Check first post.

Hi, what do u know, i installed project-valerie in azbox hd enigma2, and it runs! now i just need to run PC app and set it up, probably many green screens will appear, but remember this is supposed to run in dm800 and such only.
SOURCE CODE IS AVAILABLE, it's free, an azbox hd version should be pretty easy to do.
Green screen says it's because it can't find movies.txt in my HDD, that's because i didn't run PC app yet to set it up (i guess).

I've been more interested using my Azbox as a mediacenter than a tv-receiver so this is quite interesting.

[hfmls]

yeah i know. it even has the cool menu that starts before everything (if we want to)
so we can chose from TV to movies,series, etc.

i use windows 7 x64 and i am having problems to open pc APP to set it up, errr. Can't do further tests without setting media.

@hfmls

Use compatibility mode.

[hfmls]

already tried, there is no option for that in .jar files. damn it. :(
i only this pc available here, sh*t. can't believe i gotta install xp in virtual drive.

@htmls

Thanks for this m8.
It seems to be a very good project...
Could you please test as much as possible and let me know what runs and what not?
I'm also really interested in mediaplayer part.
So when I get source code from sattomy, I will try to migrate this plugin to azbox

[hfmls]

it's hfmls hehe not htmls.

i will try to test as much as i can, because i am media geek too, i love the cover concept and imdb info.

But from what i understand, the green screen came because it didn't found necessary setup settings that should have been done by me using PC app before i try to open in azbox.

So till i manage to open pc APP i'm screwed.
Also a great thing is that it's all opensource. So we could change everything
Also you can try to migrate this plugin to azbox (i really don't think there's much to be done, seems frankly stable at first sight) before you receive sources from codecs work
because you don't have to have that ready to make this plugin work at 100%.

You only need codecs to open the media. I would really appreciate if u and other people more pro in this area then me could take a look

did u install java 64 bit version?
jar installation should work...

[hfmls]

yes..i dunno what's happening, damn it.
is there a portable app to open .jar files?

[cimkaya]

open cmd box
and type:
java -classpath "<path_to_jar>\project-valerie_newest_pc.jar" com.izforge.izpack.installer.Inst aller

[hfmls]

edit: installed in D: and it works now gonna test.

[v-vilex]

@hfmls
i have also Win7 64bit Ultimate i can install the pc APP an open without errors, but on my azbox is not running E2. Because i need a stable E2 on my Azbox with DeseqC and mediaplayer.

regards,

v-vilex

ok to late

[hfmls]

ok, already works, now i got to set this up

[paasoares]

@hmfls,

I also have Windows 7 64 bit ultimate.

I just download the PC APP from here http://code.google.com/p/project-val...c.jar&can=2&q=
and it works like a charm!

Are you sure you have java installed correctly ?

Just 1 question about Project Valerie: is this plugin just a "FRONT END"/GUI to choose the activity that we want (TV/MOVIE/etc) or it also have the right code to handle all that it needs.... What I mean is, with this plugin the box can decode all sorts of codecs (MP3,AC3,DTS....DIVX,MKV,VOB....) ????
I read the do***entation and didn´t understand quite well this point.
