    I haven't done video at this moment, can do if you need. Have published a guide how to on wiki. Are you speaking about release or patch?


    If about patch then download tar.gz and patch_flashing.sh, put them on USB stick (both ones should be at separate directory), connect USB to STB and start script by SSH.

    To use SSH move to /media directory and find your USB.


    When making 2.19.01 it will have embedded fixed portal so you can do flashing this new by mc

    Thank you for interesting :) I'm going to do next one this week.


    Also a one news to people who don't know about: since 2.19.00r ver there's a support for new STBs:

    • MAG 245,
    • Aura HD / Aura HD International,
    • MAG 254,
    • MAG 322 / 324,
    • Rostelecom IP_STB_HD (this one uses image for 250).

    Going to come here more times :)

    News update!

    Today I'm publishing first beta imageupdate. There are some problems with booting STB from release image so I'm supposed to start beta tests. I will publish here files. Unfortunately I had to sign image as public so in beta update path every image has to be flashed from bootloader (USB & Bootstrap or multicast). Autoupdate module will be repaired in release channel which will be announced in a few weeks.

    Please don't kill me, it's not my fault. :( Beta image 2.18.23 will be published probably about 10 or 11 PM or later.


    *2.18.23 in old Infomir numberation means 0.2.18-r23, next image from 0.2.18-r22, last Infomir official for MAG 250.

    Hello,

    I'm going to make custom image for MAG 250. Anyone would be interested in testing? :)


    I'll customize embedded portal and maybe add recovery UserFS. List of functions planned in first update:

    Quote from MAG Software Portal website

    Functionality planned in firmware version 3.00:

    • Enable Infomir app store without necessity to add it as external portal and add it as a shortcut to main menu.
    • Enable enhanced speed test.
    • Enable short setup wizard when first time configuring STB and add a shortcut to settings (if it'll work in MAG STBs).
    • Add Polish localization to embedded portal.
    • Join your STB to the MAG Software Portal update channel so you won’t miss new functionality in next releases. Updates will be done automatically after your confirmation.
    • Add games (Lines, Sudoku, Memory) to main menu. Playkey too if it'll work well.
    • Add Internet Bookmarks shortcut to main menu.

    I'm not going to block any functions and portals so you won't have to be worried about it. Obviously it isn't all plan, there will be more functions in next updates. I won't lose it if will there be enough time.


    Have any ideas? Please write :) I'll publish here a link to imageupdate when ended.


    PS: MAG Software Portal is name of project.

    ! ! ! NEW INFORMATION ! ! !


    Latest model is MAG 424. It will be probably showed in IBC 2018, but there is also some information at Infomir website.


    It will be produced in three variants:

    • MAG 424 - Linux 4.4.35 + Bluetooth 4.1 (without Wi-Fi)
    • MAG 424w3 - Linux 4.4.35 + Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac + BT 4.1
    • MAG 424Aw3 - Android 7.0 + Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac + BT 4.1

    There may be also closed versions of these STBs (from source code information I guess it might be MAG 425). The curious is fact that they have Micro Fusion design (the same as MAG 324_


    Quote from Infomir (MAG 424 / 424w3)

    MAG424/424w3 is a cost-effective UHD IPTV/OTT solution intended for medium to large sized operators and telecommunication service providers. The set-top box performed in small form-factor. It has 1 GB operative and 8 GB flash memory, which is good enough to playback and store the high-quality video.


    MAG424/424w3 plays the HEVC-compressed files. It means the network load will be lower, even when delivering 4K content. The device runs on Linux OS and fully meets the most stringent requirements of the IPTV/OTT market.

    Are you still here? ;) Make sure that you have MAG 250, not 254, 256, 322 etc.! The Portal option can be disabled by operator when making customized image for STB.


    IMHO you should try flashing official Infomir public image: http://soft.infomir.com/mag250/release/0.2.18-r22


    Download file Bootstrap_250 and rename it to Bootstrap and download imageupdate file. Create mag250 directory in root of your pendrive (I recommend 8 GB with FAT32) and put both files in it.


    Do flashing by USB & Bootstrap in bootloader menu ! ! !

    NOT by embedded portal ! ! !


    If it won't work, you can try reseting STB to factory settings.


    Remember that you do everything on your own responsibility ;)
