New page

== FAQ A ==

=== I think this software is crap, how to get rid of this "virus" ===

Just reflash your player with a original firmware and erase the /hdd/stage2 directory with ftp

=== How did you do the trick of putting all those files on my harddisk?===

I modified the /etc/bootstart, this will launch a program called "stage2". This file looks for the existents of the file /hdd/stage2/initscript. If this exist it will execute the file. When it not exist it will start a hushshell from the /bin/setup.init.

This will download a file from a web server named download.init. And this file will be executed. (And just use wget to download the parts)

=== Can you fix some bugs with ff/rw/playback?===

No, this software can't fix, its just ad-on. Sometimes is possible to have a workaround but that just depend of the problem

=== How is the directory structure?===

/hdd/stage2 is the main directory. It contains ./bin ./htmlroot ./img. ./snd The img contains some backgrounds. The ./snd is for some little sound samples. The others are obvious

=== How do I change the background?===

Just look at the CGI: menu, you will find some links

=== what is the use of the tclsh file?===

TCL is a scripting language. With this file you can write some complex scripting.

I don't use it but I think I will in the future

=== What is the use of the sed file?===

Sed is a command line tool for scripting. I think it will be useful in the future

=== What is the use of the gawk file?===

gawk is a command line tool for scripting. I think it will be useful in the future

=== This software does not work when the kiss is recording?===

Don't blame this software. The reason for this is that the kissplayer is shutting down the Ethernet as soon as recording is started. I don't think its possible to change that. The software is still running but you just can't connect to the kiss at that point

=== What if I F##ked up the initstage2f/h file ?===

No panic, restart your player in failsafe mode.
Telnet to the player and fix the initstage2f/h file .

=== Will this software harm my player?===

No

=== Will this software harm my warranty?===

No, just reflash with original firmware, and format hard disk if you want to get rid of it

=== Will this software slow down my kiss-player?===

No and Yes. As long as you dont start telnet,nbd-server and httpd together then it's ok. This is more a problem af the telnetd than the httpd module

=== If you find some different behaviour on playback with ONLY httpd enabled please let me know===

I can not format my kiss anymore, what do I wrong?

=== If the httpd is running (by default) it will prevent the harddisk to dismount.===

Simplest way to format is: telnet to the kiss, Type "killall httpd" type "exit" and now it will work

=== I found a bug, how to report?===

Send me an email at martinb@zonnet.nl

And please provide me information on how to reproduce it, and info about the player (revision)

=== I demand you to write the following add-in, and I want it NOW!===

No, I don't think so. If you want, just write it yourself.

=== Can you please write the following add-in?===

Just ask me, I'm not that great in programming course I only use Linux from December 2004 and have a hell of a lot to learn. Also I have very little spare time.

=== How can I help?===

Take a good look at the parts you can improve and please contact me so we don't do things twice.

=== How can I contact you? ===

Send me an email at martinb@zonnet.nl

== FAQ B ==

=== What is the difference between the R_A and R_B version===

The first public release was 100% original kiss firmware, so with the FTP but, This version is a mix of the old kernel so your FTP problem is solved

=== What about the C version?===

The C version was tested a lot, but it turned out that this will break more than it fix, so forget about the C version

=== But I really want the C version, course this would fix the OOS===

No the C version will NOT fix the OOS

=== But the C version fix the audio drops !===

If you really want this one, send me a PM but remember this one will give you other problems like: scart signaling problems,

=== Were is the link?===

If the link is gone, look at the downloads on the left side

=== Do i need to format my player?===

NO

=== Does this firmware "replace" the first release===

Yes

=== I think this FAQ is getting to long ===

I totally agree
