"Pic Player" is installed on my Zgemma H1, it works, but shows the pictures over the top of live TV. Quite a nice effect, but useless for looking at photos!
I can't see anywhere in the menu to turn this off, all I want is to view photos against a black background!
How do I turn this pointless feature off?
Cheers!
I'll try that Master G, thanks.
But should I be using
CWS = line1
CWS = line2
or
CWS = line1
CWS_MULTIPLE = line2
or
CWS_MULTIPLE = line1
CWS_MULTIPLE = line2
PS. Do I need to add "lan" to the end of each line too?
Try changing
CWS_KEEPALIVE = 60
I'll give it a shot, but I thought that was only related to keeping the connection open when there's no traffic (ie when you're watching a FTA channel)?
I've got 2 N-lines from different people, and what I'd like mgcamd to do is
Try line 1 ------ reply in X seconds, all good
no reply in X seconds, try line 2...
or even send the ECM to both servers, and use whichever reply comes first. Hopefully a bit of redundancy will reduce glitching.
I've tried:
CWS = host1 port1 etc etc etc
CWS = host2 port2 etc etc etc
and also
CWS = host1 port1 etc etc etc
CWS_MULTIPLE = host2 port2 etc etc etc
but it seems to nearly always use the first line, even retrying and retrying and retrying when there's no reply, instead of trying the second line.
Is there a way to configure mgcamd to use 2 lines efficiently?
Got this sorted, so you can put the world's most boring thread to bed....
I had to use
socat -u udp-recv:29001 -
on the receiving laptop, instead of good old netcat. Even that took me a while as it throws an error if you don't include the last hypen...
I like to be able to keep an eye on Mgcamd's logging output as I'm playing around, and as you know it can send it out to a UDP port.
So I set the logging option in mg_cfg to
L: { 03 } 192.168.0.5 29000and on the PC (Ubuntu laptop on .5) use netcat to view it
nc -u -l -vv 29000
which works fine.
However, as I have a few different PCs on my home network, it was a pain in the arse having to change mg_cfg and restart if I wanted to view the output with a different PC.
I tried setting mgcamd to send it to the broadcast address 192.168.0.255 29000 - but that didn't work. No problem I thought, I'll get mgcamd to send to my home server (ie an ancient laptop :-) ) and just broadcast it from there.
Fuck me, something so simple has been doing my head in!
I tried various approaches with netcat, but netcat couldn't open a broadcast connection
y@ubuntu:~$ echo "test" | nc -u -vv 192.168.0.255 29123
nc: connect to 192.168.0.255 port 29123 (udp) failed: Permission denied
so after a bit of googling I moved to socat to do the forwarding on the server, eventually arriving with
socat EDP4-RECVFROM:29000,fork UDP4-SENDTO:192.168.0.255:29001,broadcastBut with the data being forwarded, when I try to receive it with netcat an a PC, it only gets one line, and then just sits there!
nc -u -l -vv 29000AAARRRGGGGHHHHHHH! I really thought that even to a Linux & networking imbecile like me this would be simple!
Hopefully some of the experts can tell me what stupid mistake I'm making!
Cheers for that, thatfellow!
I had two little probs along the way: (I'm using Ubuntu Server 14.04, and PuTTY from a Ubuntu laptop)
As well as doing
[CODEsudo ]passwd root blahblah[/CODE]
to set a root pw, and
sudo passwd - u root
to unlock it, I also had to do this to enable the account
http://linuxconfig.org/allow-s…ubuntu-14-04-linux-server
And then when the script got to the first (y/n) prompt, the whole terminal filled with yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy down the left!
I removed the
yes |commands from the script, and it then ran perfectly (with me manually choosing 'y' - what a chore!)
One question, as I ran it about 4 times before I realised the problem, with this mess anything up in the future?
(the only errors I spotted was
mkdirsaying the directories already existed...
Thanks again mate!
