Fighting

Fighting to see the blog re-appear in Google. I have no clue why the wordpress blog does not show it’s new entries into the google search engine. Maybe some updates will trigger something and I’ll see my entries re-appear again. (I thought it was the sitemap issue, maybe it is and am I too impatient). ..

But finally I found out that one dude had access through a php script on my site and altered some header files and entered some keywords for old man in a encrypted script.
Uhmm killed what was left on that folder.

sitemap stuff

I noticed that the site was not indexed correctly anymore. A stupid plugin (old one) did not create the sitemap.xml correctly anymore. So searched a new plugin and now the website should be indexed correctly again. no idea if it will raise any hits ;l-)

Yuixx – CE 3100 – Streaming HD media Player / IPTV solution

2L International & Metrological announced today in a press release the first ready-to-market streaming HD media Player / IPTV solution based on Intel(r) Media processor CE 3100 (Metrological press release including images can be found here)

yuixx-device

Involved in the project I can of course tell and show a little more than what the press release is announcing. In short: The device is focussing on HD content, streaming media and much more! I’m impressed about the quality of the Intel CE 3100 (aka Canmore SoC) which is totally different from all the solutions I have seen before and worked with. Yes it does 1080p at 1920*1080, it has HDMI 1.3a, Composite, Component, Stereo, S/PDIFF optical, USB at the back and USB at the front, SD/MMC cardreader and optional: smartcard reader & all kinds of Digital Tuner cards.

Last year Intel & Yahoo announced the availability of Widgets and they can be embedded as well. What to think about Twitter on your TV or Flickr or many other Widgets?

At birth the guys of Conceptronic gave the

NZBGET+WEB + UNPAK updated package

I’ve updated the nzbget + nzbgetweb +unpak.sh script with latest versions for the Conceptronic CH3SNAS:

  • NZBGet: NZBGet version 0.7.0-testing-r317
  • NZBGet Web Interface v 1.4 (testing-2)

the unpak script is little modified to fit the CH3SNAS configuration and has been changed to fit the config in NZBget Web when using the version 1.4 (testing-2).

Little How-To

Install Fun_Plug 0.5 of Fonz

Note: if you already run lighttpd you must make own adjustments to your lighttpd configuration and websettings

install the PHP package (needed for lighttpd).

  1. Download with wget http://www.aroundmyroom.com/ch3snas-funplug/php-5.2.6-3.tgzthe PHP package (temporary from my server) as the new updated PHP version of Fonz seems to break something. Install PHP with ‘funpkg -i php-5.2.6-3.tgz’

Update: after consulting Fonz (Tobias) I learned that the new version of PHP is compiled with CURL support. So it’s necessary to install the curl package as well

  1. Download

PC & Video Editing Software

Can somebody advise me what kind of PC is suitable enough to edit MTS files (1080i full HD 1920*1080 stuff) and what software tool is advised. All kinds of suggestions is appreciated including the $$ it is costing. Thanks!

Message to Self: CH3SNAS & Format HDD

Do not, I repeat Do not try to reformat the HDD’s if Fun_Plug is running. It will fail. Root cause is probably the fact that fdisk is showing an segmentation fault (ie. fdisk /dev/sdb)

3x formatting failed when fun_plug was enabled, after disabling the format directly started .. and succeeded.

CH3SNAS: Firmware 1.05b04-r160

FINALLY !

… just the step before official release !
Conceptronic is about to release a new official firmware for CH3SNAS. After some time of technical difficulties with the progress of the firmware with non working ftp, failing UPnP server(s) (in certain conditions) this firmware should finally fix that so that the 1.04 series can be left behind.

This firmware will be tested by the R&D of Conceptronic during this week  but for beta testers, early adaptors, people who trust me or like to use the latest features and functionalities: download here the latest CH3SNAS firmware version 1.05b04-r160

Release note:

  • Due to some changes internally the UPnP server could not restart in certain situation. This UPnP Server is supporting XBOX360 as well as PlayStation 3
  • We also fixed an bug that people could not format the disk when the new inserted disk has already an partition inside. This function is not yet reviewed and tested by the R&D of Conceptronic.
