Thanks to Mikka for this firmware.
It certainly solved my problems with BTPD always crashing.

May I asked if there is a way to set Transmission auto run upon turning on the PLayonHD?

And why do i oftentimes received an error "Tracker returned an error: Requested download is not authorized for use with this tracker" --- (which could also be the reason why BTPD keeps on crashing)? Why do I received this error?

Lastly, is there a way to set maximum number of downloads?

Almost in the same way as starting lighttpd:





I never had this error, so I really don't know. All I can suggest is to perform a search in Google on this error and you might find your answer.




I'm not a Transmission export, but I don't think so. You can check Transmission parameters over here as a confirmation: https://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/ConfigurationParameters

You can always play with it's settings by modifying /opt/etc/transmission/settings.json file. Just take in mind you are not working on i5/i7 machine. By default download speed is limited to 400 kb/s and peers to 50 (global) and 20 (local) which makes PlayOn!HD stable enough to play movies and download at 400 kb/s at the same time. Of course you can remove the limit and get download speeds of few mb/s, but your POHD will most likely crash after some time due to not enough resources. But still 400 kb/s is more than you can get with standard bittorent client on PlayOn!HD.

BTW: It was mentioned many times by many users, so just as a reminder: it's much better to use ext2/3 partition for downloaded files instead of NTFS and you'll notice while downloading bigger torrents (more than 4 GB).

And don't forget to pause torrents before shutting down PlayOn!HD, you normally don't turn off PC while doing something else, don't you?

You will also get that error when using transmission on a PC. This is a problem related to transmission on all platforms. From what I can understand it deals with the client reporting too often to the tracker. Let me guess the torrent you have those issues with have been downloaded from piratesbay ???? The good news is that this does not affect adversly the download process.

Not this one. I've made some time ago a test Mini firmware with Revision 3 (older version) and it was working 'more or less' (mostly because wrong DvdPlayer I put inside by mistake + not existing internal hard disk). If you have experience with Telnet and are able to create ext3 partition on USB disk (for Optware pack) I can send it to you. Revision 4 is using special symlinks, so RSS pack is linked by default to /tmp/hdd/volumes/HDD1 (NTFS partition on internal hard disk), but it can be very easily linked to /tmp/usbmounts/sdb1 or any other partition available in PlayOn!HD Mini, so you could use it as well in the future.

can we please have those versions for mini?

Only via PM and only on your own responsibility.

ABSOULUTELLY INCREDIBLE

best firmware ever guys. very good job! It's a keeper:)

I have a problem
For a friend iam trying to get sabnzbd on a playon dvr hd.
I know this isnt the right place because its the pohd forum, but its probably the best.
I have searched a long time through the forums, but i cant get it done.
The ext3 partition is 550mb (gparted live cd) but i cant install optware because of permissions.
Can i change some files so i do have permissions?
Or can i install optware on the disk with windows and put the disk back in the dvr-hd?
Or is there maybe a fixed firmware for the pv76120 with install/write permissions?
Or maybe there is an old(er) firmware which allows me to install optware (downgrading) ?

I know, a lot of questions but can i have sabnzbd on the playon dvr-hd (76120)

thanks in advance
