mede8er firmware wireless issue

deereal 01 Jun 2011 10:18

I have installed all flavors of the mede8er firmware and am just not able to get it to work…

I am able to setup successfully and get an ip assigned, but when I try internet radio I get "Connection Failed" errors
I am also not able to update the skin with the SHIZZL version, I get the unable to connect error
I am able to connect to shared drives on my network and also see the pbo in my router gui

I have the patriot wireless n adapter

Any suggestions?
I am using WPA/WPA2 AES, and do not have any strange characters in the key, it is alphanumeric

@deereal,

Internet Radio is not working in the current MedeBO FW. It's not clear to me if this is a problem only for MedeBO or if it also affects native Mede8er users with the shizzl mod. The RSS feeds should be working though. To use the skins you must put the shizzl provided "Resource" directory in the root of your disk drive (that step is included in the instructions shizzl provides).

Did you turn ON the "Remote Control" in Network settings ?

I have Mede8er MDE500X with original Mede8er firmware; PBO and Masscool MP-1372RS using MedeBO firmware. Internet Radio is working on all of them.

Yes, "Remote Control" is ON. I also have NAS on and can push files in either direction (PBO to PC and PC to PBO). I can also use the MedeBO RSS features like weather and news, so I know the network is functional. But Internet Radio just gives download failed. I've see a couple of people on the actual Mede8er mod forum complaining of the same thing, so thought it might be a bigger problem. Interesting to know its working for you. To be clear, what exact MedeBO version are you using? Mod 4.0.4 v3.1 or something else? The complaints I saw were that Internet Radio works fine with the official 4.0.4 release, but only fails with the shizzl mod 4.0.4. I like the mods shizzl put in way too much to give them up for only Internet Radio, but it would be nice to get it working with the mods.

@andytx
Thanks for the test. Interesting that radio works for you but RSS does not. RSS works fine for me but radio does not. :(

Re: mede8er firmware wireless issue

andytx 23 Jun 2011 13:58

Where is RSS located at ? I could not find it. but again I flashed back to PBO P70r2 fw, simple GUI.
Would you post some screen shot and your radio issue screen shot
Thanks.

Hi Unr3al,
I use MedeBO_V4.0.4_SHIZZL_MOD_3.1 FW on both PBO and Masscool with Zonet ZEW2546 Wireless USB Adapter.

Not available yet. Stay tuned. Will be under Firmwares -> Alt. Custom when ready.

Re: mede8er firmware wireless issue

Unr3al 24 Jun 2011 18:15

It is available now.

Not sure why this didn't occur to me earlier, but does Internet Radio require an internal hard drive? I do not have an internal drive, just an external USB attached drive. Perhaps the "download failed" is because it will only download to the internal drive?

As a follow-up to the Internet Radio thing…

I found if I moved my internet radio PLS file to the USB drive, when I select it in the media browser it will launch the Internet Radio app and successfully play the radio station. I now suspect the reason I cannot use the Internet Radio app from the main MedeBO menu is that it is trying to download a list of stations to the internal hard drive, and I do not have an internal hard drive. Does that sound right?

Before switching to PlayOn!X, I used MedeBO 5249 without a hard drive and never had trouble playing internet radio. The problem might be related to the specific firmware you're using. If anything, you could try reflashing the firmware you're using now to see if it solves the problem.

For the truly anal, the suggestion is to downgrade to P02, then upgrade to the firmware of your choice. Seems to flush out all the gremlins (and reminds you how "basic" this box used to be!).

Where to get the internet radio PLS file to test it on usb? I don't have wires to access internal pbo. If someone can post the PLS files to test internet radio, that would be great.

@fyugioh
Try this. Copy/paste the following into a file and save it as radio.pls somewhere on your MedeBO…

[playlist]
numberofentries=1
File1=http://gothradio.net:8002/
Title1=test1
Length1=-1

Thanks, that works.

Sorry for the newbie question but where would one go to get the MedeBo firmware for the Masscool 1372

Re: mede8er firmware wireless issue

aasoror 16 Jul 2011 05:38

checking the manual it looks like a PBO clone with 3.5" HDD and component output.
I would just use the firmwares from the custom firmware download page.
Best of luck,

Hi Newsnewz,

Both MedeBo 1026 image and release 3.2 of SHIZZL's mod work fine with my Masscool MP-1372 bootcode 18. I did not have to do any extra things. Just flash it.
Good luck.
