MedeBO Internet Radio problem with shizzl mod

MedeBO Internet Radio problem with shizzl mod

Unr3al 01 Jul 2011 13:02

I have a PBO with the older non-DD+ chip and bootcode 16. Using wireless network connection. If I use the MedeBO 1026 image, I can select and use all functions of Internet Radio without any problems. If I use shizzl mod 3.2, when I select Internet Radio from the main menu, I just get a Download failed error. However, I created my own radio pls files, and using the media manager, I can select them and they will launch the Internet Radio application and play the stations just fine. This seems to me to be a bug with the shizzl mod, but there are reports from some people that it is working for them, though it is not clear if they actually have the same setup. I even tried flashing back to P02 firmware and re-flashing the shizzl mod firmware, but there was no change. :(

Is there anyone out there that has a PBO with the old non-DD+ chip and bootcode 16, with wireless network connections, and shizzl mod 3.2 where Internet Radio is working from the main menu?

I'm trying to determine if this is an actual bug with the shizzl mod, some bug that crept in as a result of the mods aasoror does to get it to work on the PBO, or just a hardware compatibility issue between the PBO and Mede8er.

I have just tested it.
Old DD chipset but latest bootcode.
Internet radio playing runs without a problem.
That said I do have a dummy HDD installed which might be where the shoutcast listing files gets downloaded and might have caused you the problem if you don't have one.

Thanks for checking aasoror, but I would like to point out that with the original 1026 MedeBO image you created, Internet Radio works fine, even when there is no internal hard drive and nothing attached to any USB port (except the wireless NIC). With no internal drive and no USB devices attached, I'm not sure where the station lists are downloaded to, but they do download and work just fine with the original 1026 MedeBO image. What do you mean by "dummy HDD"?

Is it possible this is bootcode related, since I have bootcode 16 and you have the latest?

I've been putting it off too long, so I went ahead and ordered the CA42 cable a few days ago. When it gets here I'll update the bootcode to the latest version (27). I've already eliminated as a cause whether an internal drive exists or not, whether you use wired or wireless network, whether you have the old DD chip or the new DD+ chip, and whether or not any USB devices are attached. I've also flashed PBO firmware 02 then MedeBO shizzl mod again and that did not help. I hope its the bootcode because I'm running out of ideas. In the meantime, for the other people having problems launching Internet Radio from the MedeBO main menu (only when using the shizzl mod), I would be interested in knowing what bootcode you are using.

I would be really surprised if something so high level turns out to be bootcode related.

Keep us updated.

I'd be surprised too, especially since it does work with the stock 4.0.4 MedeBO and only fails with the shizzl mod. I've simply run out of ideas and figured a bootcode update was in order anyway. I'll post my results after the cable gets here (hopefully it does not take too long).
