CH3SNAS: 1.04RC5 firmware

After getting good feedback from various users and testing myself as well I was really unhappy with the way the UPnP server was integrated and causing issues with updates. And not to forget having issues with Playstation 3 and suddenly missing SRT support again (neat feature which is not available within many UPnP servers, so I could get some fame… (I already have cause we do have Kernel NFS ;-) ).

Today a new release for beta testers .. 1.04RC5.

What is extremely important is that after firmware upgrade you NEED to reset the CH3SNAS to factory defaults. If you do not do this than certain scripts will not be updated from firmware into flash.

  1. Fixed:

RFC: SMBMOUNT

Is the following line for mounting samba shares a good one?

smbmount //server/share /tmp/mountpoing -o lfs,codepage=cp437,iocharset=utf8,username=xx,password=xx

Or has someone a better mount line? Like something with CIFS?

CFULLHDMA: Remote Control

I saw a request (but cannot find the e-mail anymore) from someone asking if it could be possible to separate the power ON and power OFF for the CFULLHDMA

Unfortunately, the Power ON/OFF is not only controlled by Firmware. the IR codes are, next to firmware, also controlled by another micro processor (a very small IC on the PCB) so therefor it’s not supported. I’ll keep it in mind.

If you want to have the IR codes: find them here
