i would like to know to open file menu.rss for edit, because when i use ftp command connect to playon. i found only internal harddisk. how to open file menu.rss. please help me.

thank

You need to use 'telnet' or 'putty' or similar, and should be able to find it under '/usr/local/etc'.
Please note that 'menu.rss' is very likely encrypted, but you can overwrite it with an un-encrypted version.
Hope this helps

thank very much TieMichael

when i use telnet command to edit menu.rss, but i can't read file menu.rss (encrypted) and when i would like to ftp file menu.rss to client. how to ftp file menu.rss between playon to client and client to playon ?

thank

Yes, menu.rss is usually encrypted, and here "http://www.acryan.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=98&t=15165" you can find a method to un-encrypt it.

I don't use FTP to transfer files. I copy the files to 'tmp/hdd/volumes/HDD1' which can be accessed from the PC, and then use the PC to edit ....

i can got file menu.rss and edited, but when i would like to copy to "/usr/local/bin/scripts" to replace old file, but it have message error :Unknown error 30

how to replace menu.rss ?

thank

/usr/local/bin/scripts is on a read-only partition, so you cannot overwrite it directly.
But you can copy your menu.rss to /usr/local/etc which is read/write and 'overmount' it with: 'mount -o bind /usr/local/etc/menu.rss /usr/local/bin/scripts/menu.rss'

Just for completion sake; if you wish for the newly edited menu.rss to be available every time your POHD boots up the mount command will have to be inserted at the end of the /usr/local/etc/rcS script file. This will ensure that the new menu.rss is available at boot up.

Another thing is that you did not mentioned which firmware you are using; some firmware uses yaffs filesystems which is writable if you make it so by issuing the following command:



This will allow you to copy the new menu.rss file over the old one if you have such a firmware and the overmount is no longer required. Most of the latest firmware uses squashfs but some of the older ones including mikka's PlayonX! uses yaffs.

Good luck!!!

thank you very much Michael, snappy46

After, i add new item in /usr/local/bin/scripts/menu.rss file, but it not show in menu internet media.i have something wrong.

<item>
<title>Test RSS</title>
<link>rss_file://./scripts/test.rss</link>
<media:thumbnail url="image/test_rss.jpg" width="120" height="90" />
</item>

thank.

Do you see your entry and/or the thumbnail at all? With other words can you be sure that 'your' menu.rss is read?

What is the contents of 'test.rss'? Is it in the right directory ' /usr/local/bin/scripts/'?
