I dunno why pero even sa e8HD ko before, i had to restart several times despite upgrading to the firmware so i embraced the fact it can download, but does not download well. Neighborweb interface right? Seems if you use it with <4gb files,mp3 or dvix movies, you should be fine, anong sizes ba dinadownload mo?

I tried 1080p movies ranging from 5-10GB and dvdrip movies around 700mb, but still the same download rate. Right now, PC na lang muna ang pang-download. Thanks.

bro, yung download rate, ganyan talaga, try mo rin if it improves pag off-peak hours baka naman sa net connection din.

PC or a netbook, mas ok ka siguro sa netbook (tipid power)

sir, walang improvement talaga sa speed kahit off-peak hours. i tried using the same torrent sa pc and x6, umaabot ng 250+kbps ang download rate ko sa PC pero sa measy, swerte na yung umabot ng mga 50kbps.

so far, wala naman akong nagiging problema sa x6 when it comes to movie playback. ok din yung Internet Service nya pag sa mga youtube or video podcast.

yung BTdownload lang talaga naging problema ko. sana magka-transmission sa susunod sa firmware update nila. thanks sir for replying.

I email measy and my contact regarding the concern. Hope next firmware upgrade will be better.

Hola Senor Tatubias,

Como estas uste?

I have two (2) other non Measy NMTs that run on transmissions and seems 4GB or more files are no sweat as I get top speed. so I do not think its the Transmissions DL engine itself, i know it works well on other NMTs, but not on Measy (at least not yet).

In Measy, i get sloppy DL via neigborweb, so my trusted NMTs do DL for me and such great power savings. see picture here notice DL speeds ---
My mnor gripe that I cannot throttle/set the download bandwidth limit and upload limit(so i can still work and assign x% bandwidth to the machines). In a PC i set my DL to 130kb and my UL to 10kb and it does not affect my setup when providing remote server support from customers via VPN, i wish there's one that can be set in Transmissions, but in all i am very happy with it.

I think the best chance of transmissions working is for Measy to send you an X6 unit and you can get that transmission flawlessly running. I hope they consider and when they do, keep my gripe in mind for bandwidth provisioning for UL/DL

Guys, Im having trouble when copying from the e8HD to my pc. The opposite way works nicely.
Anyone knows what is happening? It started after I changed the firmware to 9.06 from a sub 9 firmware.
Can I do something? I am getting 5MBps upload to measy and 6,5MBps - when works, to the PC.

It seems that is a bad night for me!!! my device is not starting. i only have the red button and it does not start. i dont get even to the flash firmware option.

does any body know a trick to make it start?

tatubias,

perhaps your e8hd got dizzy with all your modding.

. i'm just kidding. i don't know if i can help you.

anyway, i tried your repacked 6.23 FW and made some changes on settings.json as well as the directory. everything went fine. Transmission speed is ok but just notice that after a while, the connection of my e8hd to my laptop drops and will have to manually restart the media player. why is this so?

thanks.

Im STILL ALIVE LOL,,, today i opened the device and re plug the cable of the Infra Red and ON button and now it is working as it should.

Q: the connection of my e8hd to my laptop drops and will have to manually restart the media player. why is this so?
A: no i dont know why i dont use very much the connection to my notebook like that due it is very slow to transfer big files though WIFI (as i use) so i plug it though USB to transfer big files.

Did you updated Samba? with the pakage that is provided? if not do it. if yes check if you can install with IPKG a newer samba package. you can do this before you repack the firmware or install it with the ipkg.
remember that ipkg some time does not install in the same place that software is installed on the device. if you want to do that you will need to foce the installation.

example: the device has installed samba in the following directory
/tmp/package/samba/sbin/smbd

and ipkg install it on /opt/bin

so if you want to make this work with ipkg you will need to install samba and check where is configured to start /tmp/package/samba/sbin/smbd . then redirect to the new place.

or you can repack the sambaxxxxx.ipkg to the following directory /tmp/package/samba/sbin/ so then you can update with the tv interface.

here are the samba packages http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/oleg/cross/stable/ and hundred of software that you can install.

good thing that you can do is.

ipkg update (this will update the ipkg repository) so then you can install directly and you dont need to put all the path.

here it is the description of all pakages that could be installed.
http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/oleg/cross/stable/Packages

or you can downloaded from here:

tatubias · « **Reply #1004 on:** Sep 05, 2011 at 07:51 PM »

NOTE: when you play with the firmware you always reboot a lot of times the device. be aware that some time the data you are downloading it gets corrupted in the NTFS partition. (this is by expeirnce) then wieh you want to open zip files or view a video it gets corrupted.

so it would be a good practice to run a chkdsk 1 a week or every day whey you play with the device.

what you need to do is:

plug the e8hd though USB to your pc. wait until it appear the ntfs partition.

then go to run and run cmd
then do chkdsk /f f:
then chkdsk /g f:
chkdsk (check if there it is any error)

f: is the letter of the e8hd when is detected in my pc.

i will be checking if there it is any application to do this in linux.

hi tatubias,

if you could insert a sync;sync;haltsys command when pressing down the power button, before actually cutting off power, that should take care of a filesystem dismount.

similarly, when a box operates and playing a video, and a power off button is initiated, then you will leave the file state open and thus when it boots up the fsck command (or linux equivalent) will be performed prior to mounting the fs again.

HTH

ps. you really ought to do more of these experimenting in another NMT (i'll PM you an offer you may be interested in

Do you know who to do it? or where to start?

"if you could insert a sync;sync;haltsys" if you let me know basicaly were to search i will work on it.

basicaly what we should implement is the following

1 - press the power buttom
2 - stop all active torrents
3 - kill /stop transmission-daemon
4 - umount hdd1
5 - shutdown device.

probably if we find to do something like that we can configure some buttom of the remote control to stop or start bit torrent when needed.

other thought were. i was thinking if it is possible to add the on / off bit torrent client with the RSS options. i will need to investigate this.

toys4geeks · « **Reply #1009 on:** Sep 07, 2011 at 02:24 PM »

1-5 makes sense, i'll ask around or play with it come this weekend. we need to trap the power button from immediately cutting off power.

I know it was done successfully in my egreat S900, and i dont see why i cannot be done. it prompts " shutting down services, unmounting disks. then powers off gracefully.

I have a MEASY E8HD bought from Sir Gary last year with V6.23 FW and because of this thread, I got interested with upgrading my FW to the latest V9.06 I downloaded from the MEASY website, so I can enjoy the improved GUI.

However, my upgrade failed and it was too late for me to know that my unit does not have a Reset button

and therefore I will need to open unit to do a "force' upgrade back to V6.23 FW. My unit is still under warranty so I hesitated at first because it will void the warranty and I almost called Sir Gary to do it for me but since I'm living down south, it will not be easy for me to go to Sir Gary's place.

So I decided to open the unit and took the chance and luckily I was able to revive it again using the V6.23 FW.

Now, my question is why the latest V9.06 FW did not work on my unit even after several attempts? Is it only good for later versions of E8HD units? After I was able to revive back to V6.23 and I actually tried again to load V9.06 using different USB's and downloading twice from MEASY's website the V9.06 FW but it still does not work so I just get myself contented to V6.23.

Maybe I can try later upgrading to the "repacked" V6.23 from Tatubias but for now I wonder why V9.06 FW does not work in my unit. Any body have the same experience and any learnings?

TIA

Bad luck, i am in the same situation. by the moment there it is not fix or work around. The only firmwares that works are 8.95 unstable with mp3 and slow BT. and a good one is firmware V6.23.

you can write to [email protected]. asking for a solution (please do it they may start working if more people is requestin support for this issue). we are the only 2 persons in the world that has the same issue. and i was not able to fix it yet. and i doubt it very much that i would. (for me is something with the PCB or motherboard incompatibility).

The issue is the Linux starts as it should but when the device try to start DVDPlayer application it gets an error and reboots the device.

if it is in warranty ask for change was the solution that Measy support provide it to me. as im in Argentina shipping will be toooooo expensive and locally are not dealer so im FUC... UP

.

the only different of 6.23 and my repack is that it has BT transmission installed. it has the old 6.23 interface.

i did try to play aroung with the power button, and with the commands HALT and power off. it seems that when you press the power buttom it directly cuts the power. it does not do a clean shutdown.

some days ago i have sent a mail to the support asking if this behavior cold be changed. and today i have received a mail saying that cant!!!.
