The AroundMyRoom Forum

I got request to create a forum as some people did not like to read all the comments. A forum to discuss the entries about items written in this weblog. Yes, you can think about CFULLHDMA, CH3SNAS, scripts to use on CH3SNAS, NZBGET and many other things.

The forum, no strings attached, is just a personal initiative and not related to any other thing than my personal website. If it’s success I can check how to expand…

BetaTesters

Due to a bug in my betatest subscribe plugin installed tonight I am not able to validate any new subscriber. All e-mail addresses are marked bad. And due to changes in the script it does not allow me to downgrade.

So I have to wait for the developer of the nice (it’s worked perfectly before) plugin ..

Rsync between 2x CH3SNAS

For a long time I wanted to try to copy content from one CH3SNAS to another today was the day I tried .. So here my request for comment about my config ;-)

It’s quick, dirty, no security and I assume you already have installed fun_plug with telnet support
The NAS

CFULLHDMA: during firmware upgrade I lost power

Oh oh .. you are upgrading your CFULLHDMA and suddenly in your home there is no power anymore ..

Is there a way to fix the CFULLHDMA? There are 2 ways to fix a bricked CFULLHDMA

If you see a Blue Screen, than you have the opportunity to fix the bricked CFULLHDMA by using a USB drive/stick with upgrade.bin. Instruction are displayed on-screen.

If the CFULLHDMA is giving a BLUE SCREEN, the kernel is still running and you can fix your CFULLHDMA.  The device is searching for the upgrade and it will upgrade.

There is a small change that this way will work as kernel root files can be damaged too easily when a firmware upgrade fails (due to power failure).

The other way to fix the CFULLHDMA is by using a serial console cable. (I can do that) .. ;-)

More about this using console cable will be explained when needed or requested.

NZBGET & enhanced UNPAK script

Last week I installed NZBGET and used a simple postprocess script unpacking downloaded usenet stuff. I found another script from ‘Ydrol’ .. which was created for the PopcornHour. Altough this script is not perfect and have same ‘issue’ as the older postprocess script this script is very enhanced. It is smart, it makes connection to imdb and it puts stuff is special folders .. WAUW ..

The script has 1 bug: if you download multiple DVD’s in one NZB and they have same folder structure (like *.rar and video_ts in it, than the files will be overwritten, so names of rar files were (are) not taken into consideration

I have created a tar file with all the original files and the files I use for the CH3SNAS. It are the modified unpak.cfg & unpak.sh files. Put the 2 files in the /ffp/etc folder, check the file properties for unpak.sh alter the nzbget.conf file to process unpak.sh (not postprocess.sh)  and restart nzbget ..

I have altered paths so that you use /mnt/HD_a2/usenet/* folder the files to be stored.

Downoaded files will be put in a category name, an unsorted folder or movie, erotica etc.. hardlinks will be made for New or Recent stuff .. WOW .. 

try it and if you have some suggestions to fix the ‘issue’ or any other changes you might worth to mention, do not hesitate to use the comments ..
