I have installed cd-manager, which I wrote for Zoranders ext3-boot. This enables external dvd drive functionality. I have also enabled mounting of ext2/ext3/xfs/reiser partitions if they are connected at boot time. There are some limitations, so read before you jump in. This is a permanent flash, flash at your own risk. You can however flash back to whatever you desire, using the common way to downgrade. text/html 2009-03-27T10:53:34+02:00 http://root.unknown.sk/wdtv/wiki/doku.php?id=ext3-boot-releases * THIS SECTION IS FOR BINARIES WHICH ARE NOT OR WILL BE IN LATEST EXT3 FIRMWARE RELEASE If someone have somethink what is not included and have working compiled binary he can add here people who dont have account and have somethink interesting can send private post to me and post it to main developers thread text/html 2009-02-08T21:22:48+02:00 http://root.unknown.sk/wdtv/wiki/doku.php?id=firmware_hacking Howto extract wdtv.bin * extract the rootfs of the firmware, you should (from linux shell of course ): * Download the lastest official firmware WDTV_FW_1_01_02 * unzip WDTV_FW_1_01_02.zip * dd if=wdtv.bin of=cramfs.img bs=32 skip=1c * mkdir tmp * mount -o loop cramfs.img tmp * rsync -avHS tmp/* rootfs/ (for edit,modify files etc) also cp -a should be text/html 2009-03-17T23:11:02+02:00 http://root.unknown.sk/wdtv/wiki/doku.php?id=network_filesystems_and_data_transfering I think is better write a script for this testing and add it to firmware release and people will get result and we will see which adapter and combinantion is best How to start NFS under Windows MS NFS is providing about 8MB aka 64mbit troughtput (confirmed by sasa) How to start alternative NFS server or Winnfsd SOSSNT AlegroNFS source code Cygwin NFSd have lower performance haneWIN NFS Server for Windows Also see this HowTo guide for information on setting up Microsoft's Serv… text/html 2009-03-11T19:29:20+02:00 http://root.unknown.sk/wdtv/wiki/doku.php?id=setting_up_the_environment_for_compiling Introduction The WDTV is based on the SigmaDesigns 8635LF processor. It is able to run either Windows or Linux depending on the SDK you purchase.

Supported media WDTV have good support for many codec but not all containers are fully supported.
