Ideas para PipeManagement v3 (CUSTOM 3)

Confirmado el nuevo aplicativo: LGOutputSniffer,
ya que la nueva arquitectura muestra ser mas robusta en las pruebas preliminares.

Vamos a ver la posibilidad de auto-actualizar el aplicativo por internet, ya que, como venimos diciendo, no es necesario
instalar el firmware.

Mute funcionando perfectamente
Finalmente he optado por usar la tecla PAUSE.
Ya que con la tecla 0, daba problemas por ejemplo si cambiamos al canal 10.

Asi, si estamos en modo TDT, pulsamos pause una vez, y se pon ene mute, lo volvemos a pulsar, y se quita el mute.
Una cosita menos.

Hi Vic,

Does not this collide with the timeshifting?

Cheers,
Matt

Hello Matthelas,
good question
I will have to checkout,
in fact, I dectect now in which is the lg tdt, movie or menu.
and this pause for mute only is activated if mode tdt (tnt).
I will have to check what happens if timeshift is actived.
i will have to check next week, now i am away from home

Hello Vic
Question, not for pipemanagement but for "custom 3":

Is it possible to modify OSD for more transparency ?
Because the OSD is marking the LCD TV when you stay on pause a very long time (I still have a phantom image on my TV).

I don't know if other users have this problem.

Hello,
thanks for the idea,
I think this is not possible, as the image for pause is dinamically generated by main application.

I think we can only change the images which resides in this folder:
/usr/local/bin/Resource/bmp #

please, check if the image you mention is inside of the given folder.

best regards

Hello Vic, i'm trying to open a bmp file in this directory but it seem that it's not conventional bmp
I'm trying with several sofware with no result.

Could you post some files on the web, so that we can work on the format (I have no access to my MS450 for the time being (not @ home), but I have some tools to dig in on my pc).

Merci!
Matt

Ok Matt, je t'en met une paire ce soir.

Hello Matt,
yes, you were right. Regarding the use of pause button of remote for mute on/off
The pause button is used in the timeshift mode.

So, we have now 3 possibilities:
1- leave as it is right now (use of pause button for mute),
2- forget about the mute on/off facility.
3- use another un-used button while in TDT mode.

I understand the best is option 3, but, the pause button was ideal for this task,
does anyone suggest a new button for mute on/off ... ?
probably button RED can do it.

-----------------
Bueno, pues el boton pause no puede ser usado para el mute, ya que 'choca' en el modo timeshift.
asi, que nos olvidamos del mute, lo dejamos en el pause, o lo ponemos en una nueva tecla,
que pensais..?

Hello Matt,
I have uploading some bmp files (from /Resource/bmp directory) here: http://www.play-host.net/files/1280400782.rar

Can you look at this.

Thanks, Murigny

How about the * button next to the volume +/- buttons? I don't believe that has any other function.

Hello Andrew,

I must be very tired now but I do not see the button you mention,
there is no * button in the european remote control.
next to -/+ vol button, is the tv/pvr button

Haha, go to bed Victor!

Check this out: [Tienes que estar registrado y conectado para ver esa imagen]

Hello again,
YES jejeje
I finally found out.
It is clear in your image that you have a * button free, that is very nice!!!

But in fact, in the european remote control is not the case, and we have a working button tv/pvr

[Tienes que estar registrado y conectado para ver esa imagen]


I wonder what happen in Australia when you press the * button ...

For the rest of buttons, they are exactly the same.

In any case, we cannot use this button, because it is already busy with a functionality.

Ahh, so that button does the same as selecting DTV in the main menu?

NOT Eexactly,
iwhen connected using eurocnctor (scart),
it is a kind of switch, among the lg and the tuner of the tv itself.

so, if you press once, you see the tv trhought the tv tunner, press again, and you again connected to the lg.

what happens when you press this button in your system?
regards

Salut Murigny

Seems that these are compressed bmp (I know, sounds weird), in a specific realtek format.
Here is some very interesting information about them, I'll dig further later, but it seems you can identify their size, replace them with normal BMP, BMP compressed with FELICS methode, or even PNG renamed as BMP, and it also seems there is a linux utility (see end of thread) that allows to "felics" them!!

Perhaps we should switch to an other thread on this particular topic!

an other one (but first still most interesting): http://www.mede8erforum.com/index.php?topic=1027.0

Hi Vic,

Thinking to it, if I understood well, it could be bearable.
Indeed, if you use purposedly the pause button to set the timeshift, then you can support it also mute at that time, if reusing the pause button to relaunch the stream remove the mute (or if play "unmute", but I guess that's risky to mod play button )
About using colored buttons, if they are not used for anything else, this could also work well. I know that on other DTT receivers those buttons are sometimes used for changing langage, activating subtitles, etc. I don't remember if it is also the case for the LG.

Cheers,
Matt

Hello,

further more i have detected the following,
if timeshift is set, (in the normal functionality of lg)
the user can press pause to pause, but then the only possibility is to press play,
that is the user cannot press again pause to unpause,
i do not know if i explain myself.

so, the user press play, and so the lg will rest muted with no sound,
the only way to get sound is to pause again and press play again
is very tricky and is working well, but this is not good, i think,
so i think we will go for the colored buttons

Yes, good idea, thanks for your investigations,
i have created a new thread with all the info so far.

Bueno,
pues poco a poco se estan implementado varias cosas nuevas, y distintas pruebas.

Los items de la lista inicial se iran marcando como completados cuando esten listos.

Mi idea es sacar una version para Octubre o Noviembre, aproximadamente, con las cosas que esten listas hasta el momento.

Se ha cambiado el valor por defecto de AutoPowerOff a 4 horas, en lugar de 3H.
No quiero que nadie se pierda ningun final de pelicula
Recuerdo que este valor es configurable en el archivo de configuracion.

Bueno, para el control de versiones, voy a simplificar y unificar,
es decir en lugar de haber version para pipemanagement, y para v. de firmware, a partir de ahora de integra todo en
un único número de versión.

Actualmente la última versión es 2.1

Con suerte, si funciona la auto-actualización por internet, la proxima versión sera la ultima de firmware, ya que se podrá
actualizar por codigo numerico del mando cuando haya una version mas reciente.
(Hasta que haya algun cambio drastico en arquitectura que si requiera instalar firmware)
Con esto vamos a dejar de estar instalando firmwares, ya que es un proceso molesto e innecesario.

La aplicación comprobara la última versión disponible en:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/684543/varios/ms450h/Firmwares/ActualRelease.txt

Espero para Oct/Nov, este lista la ultima versión (3.0) con todas las mejoras que de tiempo.

Los planes es que durante Nov-Diciembre se soluciones las incidencias que reporten los usuarios,
y para Ene-2011 poder sacar la version 3.1 con el resto de mejoras que quedasen pendientes.

Es decir, que el cambio de v3.0 a v3.1 se podria hacer de forma automatica desde el mando a distancia.

Se ha actualizado la lista de funcionalidades en el primer post.

La actualización por internet tiene muy buena pinta
