PnP III v3.50: Enhance the standard OS - DOWNLOAD HERE!

[roger l]

Oh dear. This is an area I did not want to get to. Suppose I should check the Hardware section from now. I have already seen your post on the EFI chip swap and instructions. I have to re read your post here to completely get my novice brain around it. I did understand the Hot EFI chip swap, which sounds simple but is a difficult/tricky job. It is the rewriting from good EFI to the EFI boot sector on the MMC that I have to grasp yet. It is surgery time then. Your instructions are great and most valuable in my trials. Have to be calm to take this on. Thanks Pete.

Baby steps. I use that blue painters masking tape sometimes for added protection between circuit boards et al.

For the rewriting of the MMC boot sector; I just utilize wintel utilites instead of linux utilities. Think of the MMC as just another boot stick.

Hi,

I have placed Openpeak OS v30300 on my joggler and trying to get the PnPIII applied. The joggler doesn't respond to the files when USB is insterted or when insterted when Joggler reboots. Trying to follow the instructions for Telnet but struggling with the instructions, or struggling due to my level of understanding at least!!

Do any of you technically savvy people out think of anything I could be missing or doing wrong? Also does anyone have an idiots keystrokes guide to accessing the Joggler via Telnet and update to PnPIII that way?

Thanks in advance and apologies for the daft questions!

Difficult to advise - at which point in the telnet instructions do you encounter a problem?

Hello Ted6975 in answer to the :"The joggler doesn't respond to the files when USB is insterted or when insterted when Joggler reboots". I have had a few trial and error...."What the hell am I doing wrong" moments like that. Dont mean to go over the stuff you have tried, but have you checked that the PNP 3 image has not got a file "Remove after first install" on it? That would stop it from responding..
Another one is that the files have not all worked in the stick you are using for the PNP3 load.
I was daunted by the Telnet Wizardry as well. I did work it out to mount the files. ie tell the joggler to mount the drive and load the files. Find the ip address in the settings on your stock system and then use that address. Open up a Telnet "terminal" or comand prompt when it says microsoft telnet type open 192.160. or whatever the Jogglers ip address is. It will then try to open the joggler. it will then ask for password (described elsewhere) and enter the lines: "mnt....etc found at the start of this subject. It should then mount the files and you will see the screen action. I would copy the lines starting "mnt..." from this forum and paste them straight into your telnet dialogue. Hope it works.

Hi guys,

I have problems with this latest version of PNP III - same on my both Jogglers.

When I turn off Squeezeplay (not quit) and want to turn it on again with the little botton at the upper left, it always crashes and I am back in the openpeak app menu.

Any idea how to fix this?

thanks,
Christian

When I turn off Squeezeplay (not quit) and want to turn it on again with the little botton at the upper left, it always crashes and I am back in the openpeak app menu.

I set Squeezeplay in PnP III to quit back to the Openpeak app menu using the button in the top left!

I'll have to have a trawl through my notes to see which bit of which code I fiddled with to change this functionality. Until then, you can pop 'turn off' on the Squeezeplay home screen.

Edit: See post below!

[offbeatdave]

Right, it's the /media/opt/squeezeplay/share/jive/jive/JiveMain.lua file.

Replace my PnP III Squeezeplay code

Code: Select all

function JiveMain:togglePower()

        -- JonB Hack : Attempt shutdown here
        Framework:playSound("BUMP")
        appletManager:callService("disconnectPlayer")
        Framework.quit()

end

with the original Squeezeplay code

Code: Select all

function JiveMain:togglePower()
	local powerState = JiveMain:getSoftPowerState()
	if powerState == "off" then
		JiveMain:setSoftPowerState("on")
	elseif powerState == "on" then
		JiveMain:setSoftPowerState("off")
		-- JOGGLER - power down display when power toggle is pressed.
		os.execute("xset -display :0.0 dpms force off")
	else
		log:error("unknown current soft power state: ", powerState)
	end

end

Edit: I've now linked this post in the 'Useful links' section in the opening post.

Wonderful!

This is working and how I always exprected it

For me, it doesn't make much sense with quick getting to apps menu because therefore you have second entry "quit squeezeplay".

nevertheless, thank you!

I'm happy

there's something strange going on here..

I came home today and realised that there were a few icons missing, one of which is the 'power-off'-button. My wife said it started Squeezeplay itself earlier on the day. Every once in a while I see the openpeak-logo and the joggler returning to the starting screen again..

It did this last week also; so I reflashed it from scratch with OpenPeak Firmware V30300, then put on PNPIII via Telnet because my Joggler appears to be quite grumpy to reboots (when I try to put on PNPIII via reboots I have to do it twice before all the apps are there... quite strange)

What could be the problem? Even with all the icons missing I can still play Squeezeplay..
Quite strange isn't it??

Edit:
now even all the scripts from SWF launcher are missing??

Last week I tried to reboot via script and then it got stuck @ O2 logo....

[offbeatdave]

Yeah, this happens on one of mine. The webserver fails I think for some reason.

PnP III v3.35c (25th January 2014)
Updated LMS to v7.8.0 -(PnP III build) 1390402812 Wed Jan 22 19:18:08 PST 2014

LMS can also be updated via the script in SWF Manager. Remember that it takes a few minutes to process and the desktop will refresh (Tango will restart) when the update is complete.

[Error]

Is this the only change in PNP? So when I update it via swf-launcher It'll be the most recent version?

Is there a logical explanation that whenever I boot I have to disconnect the ethernet cable or it will not pass the O2 logo??

[offbeatdave]

Yeah, it's the only change. Any changes should be listed in the changelog linked in the first post.

Sorry, but I've no idea about the Ethernet boot issue! It's a new one to me.

[offbeatdave]

PnP III v3.36a has gone public.

It's only contains very minor tweaks so don't bother updating existing versions.

[offbeatdave]

Current Logitech Media Server version available for update (14th February 2014):
v7.8.0 - (PnP III build) 1391769631 Wed Feb 12 19:20:00 PST 2014
AS ALWAYS, IF YOU AREN'T HAVING PROBLEMS THEN THINK TWICE BEFORE UPDATING!

[ttherapo]

Please help, i updated to openpeak30300 using Joggler reflash, and then copy pnpiii on a usb drive and restart, but nothing happens.(the usb is the same to update to openpeak30300). I also try to update using telnet, but also with no success. What am i missing? I followed the instructions but the image is not automatically installed after reboot

[offbeatdave]

What happens when you try via telnet?

[ttherapo]

I tried using putty but i get this error:

# cd /mnt/files
-sh: cd: can't cd to /mnt/files

[offbeatdave]

If you've got a different memory stick to unzip the PnP download to, try that. Occasionally a stick won't be recognised by the Joggler.
