I assume this is the martinxp image from here: http://linuxsat-support.com/showthread.php?t=70806?

If so, it would be courteous to give credit to the person who put the effort in to compile the image.

Are there any differences?

Use the tune2fs command if you just want to (re)label the partition:
tune2fs -L RECORD /dev/sdxy

where RECORD is the label and sdxy is the partition you wish to label (usually sda1 but can be found with fdisk -l command).

Having a problem with a few plugins. Mediaportal and tsmedia,they go in fine onto plugins list but when you start one of them they do not fit on the screen, too large for the screen. Re-intsalled them but same problem persists.The only image I have seen this happen so far. Tried different a/v settings to no avail. Channel1 is fine. Any ideas please..thanks

You could try this plugin to see if it helps. I've not tried it but others have reported it works, at least for making the image's skin fit the screen. Not sure what it will do for plugins.

Thanks for the help martinxp. I upgraded to the latest version of your image and HDMI CEC is now working. I tried adding activemode=1 anyway, and it confirmed that adding this actually causes my HDMI-CEC to not ork. The only problem I now have is that if I set 'Forward volume keys' to on, the menu activates. For example if I press vol-up, the volume of my AVR increases by 1, the set-top box menu opens, then the AVR volume increases a further 2 times.

This is exactly the same as happens on the PKT image, so it looks like a bug with the HDMI-CEC driver or it's something to do with my configuration.

I'll do more testing on number 2, as it may be something to do with autotimers.

martinxp thanks for the image, it generally seems fast and stable.

There are a couple of bugs I've noticed, and I wonder if others have the same experience:

1. HDMI-CEC doesn't work for me - it doesn't seem to detect the active HDMI address. My connection is: satellite receiver -> Onkyo AVR -> Sony TV. I believe the address should be 1.2.0.0
To be honest, HDMI-CEC doesn't work properly on any image I've tried, as the volume keys invoke the menu every time they are used. All other functions usually work though. Here I get nothing.

2. I put the box into deep standby when it's not in use. If a timer is set while it's in deep standby, the box turns on correctly, records the programme but then doesn't go back into deep standby. I have "After event" set to Auto in the timer, which I believe should put the box into the state it was in when the timer started. It does on other images anyway.

Does anyone know fixes for these? Thanks.
