Despite any firmware upgrade, my HMC3901 is too slow when talking about sending files through the lan connection. i'm actually testing and it goes 160kbps (around 2Mbits per second) through a 30m cat5 cable. Does anybody knows if this can be fixed to work faster (it is supposed to be 10/100mbps)? does anybody gets faster speeds?

I can confirm that the following HDMI firmwares are compatible:
ChiliBox MR3
FANTEC MM-HDRL
i'll add more if i i'll find it

I want to use my KM-31BK to convert my VHS collection to digital and was bitten by the device seeing Macrovision on some tapes and putting "Copy Protected" on the screen and refusing to record. I found the following advice for a Media Cube on emtech.mhdworld.com:
maxonthecube wrote:
What you can do is to put the following in a file on the Cube, say
/usr/local/etc/dvdplayer_commands.txt:
C
copyfree 1
quit
Then, edit the file /usr/local/etc/rcS and change the following lines:
./RootApp DvdPlayer&
to:
cat /usr/local/etc/dvdplayer_commands.txt | ./RootApp DvdPlayer&
and:
./DvdPlayer&
to:
cat /usr/local/etc/dvdplayer_commands.txt | ./DvdPlayer&
Reboot the MC using the 'reboot' command and you should be done.
I'm still performing some tests, but I am pretty confident this is the
trick I was looking for to backup those old jammed VHS tapes. Up to now, it
is working flawlessly!
This worked exactly as described on my Kingwin as well and appears to have successfully disabled the malfeature.

In linux simply mount the firmware image as a loopback device. Filesystem is ext2.

I solved my problem.
In the bftpd.conf file,
Just set ANONYMOUS_USER = "no"
then the users are the same than the telnet users.

Can anyone explain to me how to create different user access with passwords for bftpd. And also how I can rules the rights for creating, deleting files.
Thank you

This is not the best place for your question, because this is no forum and your player is new but the 1261 are old.
Goto MHDWorld (link in topbar/Friends).

Your best chance is, to connect your player per usb with a linux computer, if you don't have one, boot a linux live cd.
Good luck!

Hi,
Is is possible to have an access to the UDF partition via telnet access? Which partition do I have to mount ?
In fact a bug appears on my harddisk, the movies I recorded and which are not exported on the fat 32 are lost… I'd like to recover them.
Thanks for your help

has anyone figure out how to access the framebuffer of the device?
it seems gcsimon from this thread http://rtd1261.wikidot.com/forum/t-70492/gentoo-on-movie-cube
is in the middle of the search? but that was a more than a year old thread.
i own a OEM version of a player running the rtd1073 it's also running the 2.6.12 venus kernel.
it does not has an official firmware so flashing it is unsafe. luckily i have successfully cross compiled kernel modules for
the stock kernel I can now connect a webcam to the box.
my goal is to run opencv on the box, but first i need to get x11 or xorg running on the box and it seems
i am no where close to that. i am wishing that someone can already run xorg on the box already and pass us
the information on how.

Hi everyone, i just bought EMTEC Movie Cub K120 and i am interested in getting it into my wlan. I am not sure if i am at the right forum but i thought i give it a try. Here are my questions :
1) Would the described methods for changing/enhancing the firmware work on a K120 as well ?
2) Can i use a WLAN USB Stick with the cube to get it into my network?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thx in advance
Ronny

Hi, got a HMC-3901 with 2.1 firmware and am seeking to do an upgrade from a 500gb to a seagate 1.5tb but am getting errors.
Have tried the 2.1 and 2.08 firmware but on running they find the unit fine but on the install, when it asks about space allocations for the recording partitions and media partitions it has incorrect negative info which is put into the part.txt file. Tried to update these with both percentages and byte allocations etc and have tried USB installs with a number of options.
it either just stalls on the install or comes up with a 'install error, reboot required' and never completes.
Even tried running pc install, update part.txt file and allocated/formated the fat32 & NTFS partitions etc and seemed to get further along but then again failed.
Has anyone got a large disk such as this working and any tweaking required?

mount -o remount rw /pathToNTFS
This seems to work. I was able to write a small file but not sure what happens with extended use. I will try to write a file greater than 4GB is size and see what happens

I wanted to start a thread specific to this device so I can post my findings and hopefully encourage others to do the same:
Partitions
For some reason this devices insists on creating both a Fat32 and NTFS partition. I'm not sure why.
Login
telnet to the box and log in as root with no password
Settings things at Startup
It seems that this device has a read-only root filesystem. I was not successful in Trying to mount it as read/write however I did find a few things:
The files in /usr/local/etc will persist across reboots.
/usr/local/etc/rcS is a startup script that can be edited. I changed mine to have this as the last line:
/usr/local/etc/startup &
This will run a new script in the background so it cannot stop the rcS script from finishing. This is a safety measure in case I add something the prevents the unit from finishing a boot or restarting.
My /usr/local/etc/startup script currently looks like this:
#sleep two minutes so I have time to log in and edit or delete this file if it causes problems on boot.
sleep 120
mkdir /tmp/hdd/volumes/smb
mkdir /tmp/hdd/volumes/smb/public
mkdir /tmp/hdd/volumes/smb/pubreadwrite
#run mount in background in case it hangs
mount //192.168.x.x/public /tmp/hdd/volumes/smb/public -t cifs -o username=Realtek_guest &
#seems to not like two mount commands running at the same time.
sleep 5
mount //192.168.x.x/pubreadwrite /tmp/hdd/volumes/smb/pubreadwrite -t cifs -o username=Realtek_guest &
This makes it so my SMB shares are always mounted and accessible on the same path has my drive.
Web Server
The web server HTML and CGI scripts posted here seem to work but they disappear on a reboot. I might keep the files elsewhere and soft link /tmp/www on startup or maybe copy the files on startup. (I might also take a crack at translating them to English :-) )
That's all I have found for now since I've only had the device for 1 day. I have not tried the chroot environment yet but it looks interesting.
It seems that the NTFS partition is read only. What if I unmount the NTFS partion, make a fat32 partion on it and remount?
It looks like the mkdosfs command can do this.
Has anyone tried this?
Disregard. The device allows you to dedicate 100% of disk to fat32. Of course you are then limited to <4GB files but I can deal with that.
Here's a neat trick: you can send commands to the device using telnet on another linux machine line this:
(echo root; sleep 2 ; echo date ; sleep 2)| telnet 192.168.x.x
This thing uses a weird MAC address. 00:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
I'm thinking that this must be set in software and is probably the same address on every unit. That means you gotta separate these things via a IP gateway if you expect to use more than one at home. Two of them probably won't work on the same broadcast domain.
I have tried to change the MAC address using the "ifconfig hw ether" command but it doesn't seem to work.
