Added on August 3, 2009, 10:50 amOk, what exactly has happened here with regards DTS...

I've got no audio now on any files with DTS. Tried changing the settings with no luck.

Option for DTS audio is greyed out.

Box is connected via HDMI and I never had trouble with files with DTS audio on the old FW.

K8118k : Seem like others also facing this problem after firmware update

---

Added on August 3, 2009, 10:55 amStill NO DTS over HDMI, so i will go back to 1.4.52 again, its a shame because , it seems that ISO play is much better on the newer beta .

Seagate Baracuda 7200.11 or 7200.12?

i do sell 2 bays enclosure + 2x1.5tb or
4 bays enclosure + 4 x 1.5tb under raid 5

1.3.158(BD Lite Version)
link : http://demod.dvico.com/PreRelease/tvix_M-6x00_1.3.158_.zip

Below are the list of bug fixes.

1) Network
- WiFi works again
- D-LINK DWA-140 11n works. (only the WEP 64bit is supported )
- Improved stability when getting IP address from DHCP when using wired network.

2) Audio

- Supports the multi channel for FLAC and WAV
- Supports the 24bit for FLAC and WAV
- Supports the repeat and shuffle when playing through UPnP

Other issues are Similar to 1.3.150

% Known issues for Video related
- When HD Audio pass-through is on with HD audio stream, S/PDIF does not work
- When HD Audio pass-through is off with HD audio stream, playback may not be smooth
- When DTS audio setting is digital, HDMI audio is ON and HD audio
pass-through is set to ON, then audio is not heard on the SPDIF output
¡¤ For the same setting, if HDMI audio is set to OFF, then audio is
HEARD on the SPDIF output

- Some WMV may not play correctly
- Digital output for AAC/WMA is disabled
- Does not support PCM audio track on MP4 now
- Some low sampling frequency on AVI and MKV may not sound on HDMI
- Some MKV with AAC may not sound

% Known issues for TS/TP Video related
- The type of PGS language is not showed.
- Some TS/TP may not sound.
- It is a new TS/TP player written by us not using SDK code. It has
better features but the player has not been tested a lot.
- It may have some files which do not work better than old TS/TP
player.


% Known issues for Video and pictures related
- For MP3 files with low sampling frequency, the TVIX might crash while
playing or trick play like FF or RW.

% Known issue for Network
- BD ISO playback through Network.
¡¤ It stutters most of the times. It is because mounting ISO as a
drive overhead is too much for 6500 CPU.
¡¤ So, it looks like hardware limitation. We are trying to optimize
it but it may not result to success.
¡¤ We recommend to use IFO structure.
- If you play files without refreshing the file list after delete files
through FTP or SAMBA server, the system will reboot.

% Known issues for PVR
- After channel changed, you may not here audio in short time. This is
the bug from the chip manufacturer. To solve this, you can press DTV key
or Audio key on the remote.

% Known issues for UPnP
- Audio Playlist, Icon view and Thumbnail view are not supported
- Background music is not supported while playing slideshow
- Some internet radio may not be supported

Link : http://demod.dvico.com/PreRelease/tvix_M-6x00_1.3.147.zip

Changes from 1.3.129TViX HD M-6500 1.3.147/1.3.148(UJuckbox) Release
note audio playlist Manual <http>

1) Added the Audio playlist function (* Please download the
detailed guide for the audio playlist function)
- Select multiple songs that you want to listen and save them
as a playlist conveniently (to be saved in Audio/Playlist folder)
- When pressing ¡®Audio¡¯ key on the remote, it will move to the
Audio/Playlist folder automatically
- Listen to music without TV or display
¡¤ When setting Autorun in setup, the first playlist in the
Audio/Playlist folder will be played automatically unless there is
¡°autorun¡± folder.

2) Contents native resolution output function has been Added
(Please read below carefully before use the ¡°Native resolution¡± feature.
If a user do not set resolution correctly, the video may not be
displayed or I might hurt display. Please use this function with caution)

2-1) Native Resolution menu on ¡°SET UP¡±
- If a user turns on Native Resolution on the
Setup-Video/Audio, the Auto NTSC/PAL/24Hz option will be disabled and
will not be used. The NTSC/PAL/24Hz option will be functional if and
only if Native Resolution is turned off.
- When a user turns on Native Resolution, a popup, will be
shown. the user can select native content resolution output he want
¡¤ Users can turn on and off for the each resolution.
¡¤ If the user turns on, the check box will be checked and when a
video file is played, the source will be output according to the
resolution and scan type(progressive/interlace) regardless of the
current TV out setting.
¡¤ If the user turns off, the source will be scaled to the
resolution and refresh rate set by the TV out setting in SET UP menu.
¡¤ If the user¡¯s display device does not support specific input
mode, users will not see any video. In this case, just press stop and
the video output mode will go back to the initial mode on the SET UP
menu..
¡¤ For the 720p, we separated the mode to ¡°720p24Hz¡± and
¡°1080p24Hz¡±, since most display devices do not support 720p24Hz mode. If users displays do not support neither 720p24Hz nor 1080p24Hz, users
will not be able to see 24Hz video clips.

2-2) Resolution change popup
- If TVIX does not detect resolution and frame rate correctly,
the Native Resolution will not work properly. In this case, users can
press TV Out button while video clips are played. They can change to a
specific output mode by selecting correct resolution and frame rate.
- TV out button will show the Resolution change popup if the
video clip is playing. Otherwise, it will change the Video mode
NTSC->480p(DVI)->PAL->576p(DVI) for the a emergency recovery.(If a user
use HDMI, a user must reset set video output mode on the using SETUP
menu, otherwise, audio will not be sent over HDMI)
Available frame rate(refresh rate) table for each resolution

- Rebooting problem when playing mkv that includes the vob
subtile has been fixed.

5) Network
- Support for deleting files on network folder has been added
(*Netshare isn¡¯t supported)
- Improved NFS speed (High bit rate movie will play better even
with 10/100 connection )
¡¤ In case you have problem with 1G LAN, we recommend to use
10/100M mode.
(1G option may or may not work better than 10/100M mode depends on the
network environment)

6) UJukebox
- External subtitle when playing ISO file is supported but the
name of subtitle should be same as the ISO file

TViX can show two different subtitle in at the same time when selecting
the external subtitle.
- Position of internal subtitle can be adjusted.
¡¤ How to : After pressing the subtitle key on the remote, while

Added on August 6, 2009, 10:29 amHOW TO Create your own TViX firmware


PREPARATION
___________________________________________________________________

Create a working directory:
mkdir -p ~/tvix/firmware/ && cd ~/tvix/firmware/

Get the original firmware that you want to modify e.g:
wget http://demod.dvico.com/down/tvix_M-6×00_1.3.74.zip

Unzip the downloaded file:
unzip tvix_M-6×00_1.3.74.zip
On a side note, I have no idea why DViCo zips their firmware, as the .fwp images are zlib compressed, so size is not reduced.
Using .zip for integrity checking is also mostly useless, as zlib does the same, and a crc32 is checked after decryption.

FIRMWARE EXTRACTION
___________________________________________________________________
Decrypt and extract the firmware contents:
tvixfw –dump tvix_M-6×00_1.3.74.fwp

fs[6] data: 0×02c00000 size: 0×00840000 name: “jffs2.fonts”

decrypting..
uncompressing..
data saved in: “./tvix_M-6×00_1.3.74.fwp.dump/”

All the file systems, and data needed for re-packing, are now available in the
tvix_M-6×00_1.3.74.fwp.dump subdirectory:
ls -Al tvix_M-6×00_1.3.74.fwp.dump/

-rw-r–r– 1 petter petter 8650752 2009-02-11 11:21 jffs2.fonts
-rw-r–r– 1 petter petter 5071872 2009-02-11 11:21 romfs.rootfs

Some kernel drivers must be loaded in order to mount e.g the jffs2_apps file system
sudo modprobe mtd
sudo modprobe jffs2
sudo modprobe mtdram total_size=65536 erase_size=512
sudo modprobe mtdchar
sudo modprobe mtdblock

Some recent kernels does not work well with the mtdram driver. If you have this problem, try appending vmalloc=256 to your kernel boot option (typically in /boot/grub/menu.lst)
or use block2mtd:

LOSETUP=`sudo losetup -f`
sudo losetup $LOSETUP $JFFS2_FILE
sudo modprobe block2mtd block2mtd=$LOOSETUP,13107
sudo modprobe jffs2
sudo modprobe mtdblock

Erase the MTD device:
sudo dd if=/dev/zero bs=10240 count=6536 of=/dev/mtdblock0

Copy the jffs2 file systems to the MTD device:
sudo dd if=tvix_M-6×00_1.3.74.fwp.dump/jffs2.apps of=/dev/mtdblock0

Create a mount point, and mount it:
mkdir mnt
sudo mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock0 ./mnt

You should now see the contents of the file system in ./mnt:
ls -lA mnt/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 svn svn 0 2008-12-09 02:21 mruafw
drwxr-xr-x 6 svn svn 0 2008-12-09 02:21 samba3
drwxr-xr-x 6 svn svn 0 2008-12-09 02:21 tvix

It is now possible to modify the file system.
I would suggest taking a look at how I have modified the images in my badeip firmware. main (jffs2_apps/tvix/main) is where I get control of the box. opentvix.init does delayed initialization (I need to make sure that the NIC is initialized, disks are mounted, …)




FIRMWARE CREATION
___________________________________________________________________
Creating a new firmware should be easy if you have followed the steps above.



First, a new JFFS2 image must be created based on the modified original (which should now be mounted under ./mnt).
mkfs.jffs2 -n –eraseblock=128KiB –root=./mnt -o ./tvix_M-6×00_1.3.74.fwp.dump/jffs2.apps

The only remaining step is to tell tvixfw where the extracted fwp.header is located:

tvixfw –create tvix_M-6×00_1.3.74.fwp.dump/fwp.header
