Just a status report on my questions: I have downloaded and installed a newer version of SC ,7.1.1-22377.tgz (Perl code) from http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/latest/7.1/, hoping that my controller would now automatically update, but no luck. Trying to update manually also produced the same dismal result as before...
Having found some more info on the forum on this topic, I decided to try another approach. I downloaded the file "jive_7.1_r2749.bin" from http://update.slimdevices.com/update/firmware/7.1.1/, and used WinSCP to copy this file into the controller memory as "/mnt/mmc/jive.bin", ([Settings > Advanced > Remote Login > Enable SSH] gave me the controller IP-address and passwd, user is root). Choosing [Settings > Advanced > Software Update > Update from SD card] on the controller updated the unit correctly. I read somewhere that the .bin-file had to be removed manually after installation, but on my unit it was deleted automatically... I still don't know whether this combination of SC/controller firmware is "correct", but it seems to work OK. A colleague at work is running SC on a regular Linux server, and he claims his system updated automatically after installing the 7.1, so it may be an issue with the Perl version?) I have found a small problem with the new firmware in my setup, though; the controller regularly lose the wireless connection after a while, and a reset is required. (This may be an issued with my WLAN router... Haven't had the energy to dive into the problem yet...) But after turning off the power saving options under [Settings > Advanced > Factory Test > Power management], it has not happened again... I generaly keep the controller in its cradle on a small table beside my "comfy chair" anyway, so life on battery power is not a big issue yet. (This may change when the controller audio output is enabled in a later update...) -- Brum ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brum's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19129 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50574 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
