After seeing this post I went out any got a Sony IP controllable bluray player.  I have the device template added but it wont control my player.  I'm assuming it's because you have to register IP remote controls with the player.  Can you tell me how to register Dianemo as a remote control?  

I saw the register command, I set my player to register a remote then click test for the register command but nothing happens.  Any tips would be appreciated.

Hi there. I can answer this one. First, I apologize for not including the Sony IP remote package in the repositories I added them now. Please do a software update and then reload the router so the device starts.

Then, to register with the BluRay as a remote, put the BluRay in registration mode, then, in the devices tree of the admin website, select the BluRay player device you added, on its page click the "Send Command" link at the top, and then send the "Register" command. The BluRay player should then confirm the registration and everything else should work.

Cheers

That sounds complicated. On my N800 I just flashed it with the latest release of the OS from Nokia, and did what I wrote in the README file.

I've been having trouble getting the repository added to my N900's list... I'll probably end up doing it manually fro the command line with apt-get. I forgot how much a pain the N900 GUI package managers were... Manual installs of the deb with dpkg generates errors too, though... Dependency hell (I'm using the Community release of Maemo5, by the way).

When I get it installed, I'll let you know how it went ...

Weird... on the N800 it's really easy. I just go to Settings -> Application manager. In there, I tap the upper left corner popup menu, select Tools -> Application catalogue. And "maemo Extras" was there, waiting for me to enable it. Clicked "Edit", unticked "Disabled" in the window that appeared, clicked OK. Done. Isn't the N900 the same in this regard?

The deb has a package dependency for a library called libmysqlclient15off,... which I assume is the "official"  version1.5 mySQL client runtime library. Any Idea where I could get it?

Oh, and the number 15 is an ABI version that increases from time to time as MySQL releases come out. 15 matches MySQL 5.0 according to the package version. 16 is for 5.1, 18 for 5.5. There isn't really a direct correspondence.

Apparently, from your apt repositories. Try enabling the "extras" repository. In my scratchbox, that's where it comes from.

Uplink,... Did you say you did a build for the N900? If so where would I find it?

I didn't upload it anywhere. I only did it and it was successful I don't have a proper place to put it yet. I can email it to you if you like. Or you can find a place for me to upload it.

Well... it built. I've update the README. Looking around, it looks like a N770 build would work across the board if you had the right packages forward ported - which, in the case of LinuxMCE, you do. The N770 seems to be the odd one out by using libmysqlclient12 - the rest of them have libmysqlclient15 in their repositories. And N770 doesn't run Diablo. But besides a build dependency change, it should build for the N770 too and it should work just fine.

I just got a bright idea: Although I don't have a N900 myself, thus I can't test if the thing is actually running, I can still attempt a build. I can install the SDK without having a N900 myself. At least, if there are building problems, I can attempt to fix them.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the N800 pretty similar to the N900?

To answer your question, I actually have to read Wikipedia myself

The N900 is a phone. The N800 isn't. The N810 is like the N800, but it's cuter and includes a sliding keyboard

The N900 runs Maemo 5, the N800 runs Maemo 4. This thing I did is related to the wiki article you linked in. I have no idea if you can use what I committed to build the Orbiter for the N900 - I don't have one. If you do have a N900, please try it out.

I did this because sometimes people do need the Nokia Orbiter to be rebuilt, and the process was a bitch.

Or are you working on the qOrbiter for the N800?

Nope, not qOrbiter. Just the same old boring N800 Orbiter based on sources in src/Orbiter. Sorry to disappoint.

I've started work on committing the stuff for the Nokia N800 and N810 Orbiter. You can follow progress here: ticket #1523.

I'm leaving your old stuff alone for now. There's a README file in my commit with instructions. Feedback appreciated.

Please use this thread: Nokia N800 easy build for comments. Thanks.

Sounds a great piece of work.  When you get a spare moment I would be interested in what has changed from old to new N8x0 version,  as I use the old N8x0 version with my Dianemo S system right now, and most functions work just fine.

With the LinuxMCE version, you are unable to use the Internet Radio functionality that Andy described in another post, you can't use the UPnP browser screens (if you tick the appropriate box in web admin) and you can't browse videos on the "Dianemo" skin because the Orbiter will just complain about "Bad GotoScreen". This is one of the main reasons why I prefer a Web Orbiter frontend, like the RoamingOrb or the Dianemo iOS Orbiter instead of a complete Orbiter on the device itself - the complete orbiter can lag behind a lot, as it won't get updated each time the code needs to be recompiled. I have a small patch for ScreenGen to avoid the need of recompilation each time you add a new screen that doesn't need any extra handling in code, which I'll submit around later too.

OK, maybe a bit more than 5 minutes. I've uploaded the fix now. Please update your system.

Oh... I know what this is. There's a clever script that tries to autoconfigure your vdpau if you have it. It is /usr/pluto/bin/MythTV_Setup.sh It runs on the core but configures the MMs as well in one go. The key is at line 85 in that script. That worked fine when I wrote it, so I wonder what changed, so I can fix it. [2 minutes later] I found out what changed. Fix is on the way. Give me 5 minutes

Does it support the N900 or is that a separate issue? And does the fremantle version of the app support regular LinuxMCE,  as opposed to just Dianemo?

As Andy said, the build he's bragging about is for N800 and N810 (and possibly N770, but I have no idea) running Diablo (that's what Nokia released last).

Our Orbiter isn't compatible with LinuxMCE, mainly because of things in the `Screen` table and everything that derives from it, so you'd be unable to use the Dianemo N800 binary with LinuxMCE and not want to pull your hair off - true the other way around as well.

But... good news: I'll commit, at some point later, the script and instructions for building a N800 binary that's suitable for LinuxMCE based on LinuxMCE sources. After all, the N800 Orbiter is based on the OSD Orbiter code, with some compile options to make it different.

I'll post here when I've done that. It's not "now" because I'm always busy with stuff - sorry about that. To add to the delay, I just had the idea that people might want to have both the LinuxMCE and Dianemo packages side-by-side, in which case I have to make some more changes.
