there is no need for a CTL file. It's some signature used to secure firmware loading.

to be exact it's also used for secure connection and authentication with a cisco callmanager (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_administration_guide_chapter09186a00802e470b_4container_ccmigration_09186a0080255f67.html#wp1028826)

That field takes a XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX MAC address string, not a range. That's why I revised the wiki.

thats the wrong form.

And when I define the device with the phone's specific MAC address, that parameter seems to work. I get Orbiter messages about the 7970 while it's configuring. I'd prefer a range, because that would let me make a template that works with any number of devices. It's not really "plug & play" if I have to create a device for each phone I plug into the LAN. But a single MAC addr is what that form currently takes.

again, its the wrong form. You are not editing the device template (the ranges go in the table DHCPDevice:

Code:

mysql> describe DHCPDevice;
[...]
| Mac_Range_Low      | bigint(20)  | NO   |     | 0       |                |
| Mac_Range_High     | bigint(20)  | NO   |     | 0       |                |
[...]

)

OK, but without a CTL file I get status messages on the phone complaining that CTLFile.tlv is not found.

whats the problem with that?

Including an empty CTL<MAC>.tlv (MAC with no ":" chars) gives me onky "CTL update failed", instead of "File Not Found: CTLFile.tlv" and "No CTL installed" with no file available for tftp. No success either way.

if you don't want to believe me that this file is not needed you can further try submitting random files to your selsius ethernet phone (wonder where that SEP comes from?).

I still think I'm very close, but not because of the range. Thanks for helping out.

that may be fine for you but you destroyed correct information. The old page was sufficient to extend the device template. Please repair it (you have touched the 7970 Orbiter, too).

I was hoping to use SCCP to start, partly because I heard that LMCE supports SCCP better than it does SIP. Maybe upgrading the phone to SIP will work better, or produce more detailed failure results. I have a Cisco account through which I bought the SIP firmware upgrade. But I don't have concise directions for upgrading to SIP first.

sccp works fine. I simply prefer the sip image to have other lines provisioned outside lmce/asterisk.

OK, I'll bite! WHAT BETA!??! Where is it???

there is a amd64 beta iso image out in the wild..

why don't you try the beta?

I ran through the instructions in the "Cisco 7970" article. I'd cleaned them up for readability before, but testing them with an actual phone and LMCE showed there were changes required. The biggest difference is that the new 7970's Device details page no longer takes a MAC range, or requires a decimalized MAC address, but the specific MAC of the phone (the Javascript validation code insists on a single :-separated hexadecimal MAC address, not a range).

The old wiki page gave instructions to extend the _DeviceTemplate_ with the mac range (calculated with e.g. mac_convert). I don't know why you deleted that information: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php?title=Cisco_7970&diff=7833&oldid=6374

Who knows how to make this work? Is there even a way to delete the 7970 Orbiter? And how do I get a proper CTL file, or remove the dependency on it?

there is no need for a CTL file. It's some signature used to secure firmware loading.

Please repair the wiki page and try the following:
* extend the DeviceTemplate but there is a typo in the example on the wiki (00:16:78:FF:FF:FF instead of 00:14:69:FF:FF:FF)
* quick reload the router
* plug the cisco
* answer the questions on any orbiter (room...)

if you use a sip firmware you need to do the following steps after:
* delete the link in /tftpboot from SEP<yourmac>... to the template
* add a sip extension with the amp
* put your SIP SEP<yourmac> config file in place

dfree command (S)

    The dfree command setting should only be used on systems where a problem occurs with the internal disk space calculations. This has been known to happen with Ultrix, but may occur with other operating systems. The symptom that was seen was an error of "Abort Retry Ignore" at the end of each directory listing.

    This setting allows the replacement of the internal routines to calculate the total disk space and amount available with an external routine. The example below gives a possible script that might fulfill this function.

    In Samba version 3.0.21 this parameter has been changed to be a per-share parameter, and in addition the parameter dfree cache time was added to allow the output of this script to be cached for systems under heavy load.

    The external program will be passed a single parameter indicating a directory in the filesystem being queried. This will typically consist of the string ./. The script should return two integers in ASCII. The first should be the total disk space in blocks, and the second should be the number of available blocks. An optional third return value can give the block size in bytes. The default blocksize is 1024 bytes.

    Note: Your script should NOT be setuid or setgid and should be owned by (and writeable only by) root!

    Where the script dfree (which must be made executable) could be:

     
    #!/bin/sh
    df $1 | tail -1 | awk '{print $(NF-4),$(NF-2)}'

    or perhaps (on Sys V based systems):

     
    #!/bin/sh
    /usr/bin/df -k $1 | tail -1 | awk '{print $3" "$5}'

    Note that you may have to replace the command names with full path names on some systems.

    By default internal routines for determining the disk capacity and remaining space will be used.

    No default

    Example: dfree command = /usr/local/samba/bin/dfree

i dug into the mobile orbiter stuff these days. My incomplete picture for now is the following:

The phone opens a bluetooth rfcomm channel (probably 19 from what i have seen in the code, not verified) and is waiting for connections. The Bluetooth_Dongle device does a device inquiry loop until it finds an registered orbiter. When found it uses the BD CommandProcessor to connect and transmit the locally rendered png's to the phone, and processes keypresses received. The phone only has to display the png and send keypresses back.

edit: found a wiki page (it's getting huge ): http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/LinuxMCE_Orbiter_Symbian_Programmer%27s_Guide

I have no j2me experience but i simply installed the Netbeans 6.0 IDE and the Sun Java Wireless Toolkit, and found a Bluetooth example ("WTK2.5.2/apps/BluetoothDemo"). It features a server and a client mode and transfers png pictures between two phones (JSR082). Besides handling key-presses it should feature all the code necessary to build the phone side of the JavaMO. Somebody with j2me experience should be able to put this together in few time. I'll try to further research what's needed on the pluto side (BD_CommandProcessor_Java_*).

edit: the wiki page makes me assume that a port of BD for Java is needed, too.

Hello Dan,

try the manual for one of their plasmas http://www.samsungforbusiness.com/management/products/PPM42M7HBXXAA_RS232_M6H_M7H_Plasma.pdf. I have read that most of the Samsungs understand the same codes

hth

Oliver

i got a statement from samsung germany that the rs232 port is only for service maintenance.
It would be great if the codes would work.. it's the only missing feature from the M86/87 series.

best regards,
Hari

As of now, I see no missing features from the DLNA protocol support in either MythTV or ushare.

you know what upnp av control is? I really suggest to try the free java software cideo.com.

best regards,
Hari

i would vote for mediatomb. Supports transcoding in the svn version. Works fine with my PS3, too.
http://mediatomb.cc/news

Matthew: the bluetooth remote control would only work for the ps3. A generic UPnP AV-Control implementation would allow us to controll all Media Renderers.

best regards,
Hari

they use suns proprietary frame buffer over layer 2 protocol..
You must use the SRSS software with them. You have to use sun's own player for video. I don't think they are usable as MD. But you should be able to run the Orbiter over X11 with some fiddling..

Hi devs,

there is an installer to synchronize a fresh 0704 installation with the testing repository:
http://sqlcvs.charonmedia.org/ReinitSqlCVS.sh

It fetches the new dumps and a helper script, then drops all local tables from ir, designer and dce. After importing them it does a sqlCVS update to fetch latest changes.

There are three changes for now:
Screen sizes for Nokia770/N800
D-Link DCS-5300G IP Cam
Logitech sphere webcam

Soon to come:
Insteon support

best regards,
Hari

Hmmm... well the DCERouter is possibly one of the easiest components to have running on a chosen distribution. Over the time i have been involved in Pluto and now LinuxMCE... it has been built/installed on most distributions I can think of (there maybe some it hasn't).

Nobody said that deploying lmce is rocket science. It's the amount of code that makes things complex. Nothing in there is hard to compile..

[...]

can we now please concentrate on developing lmce further in here? I think some of you are missing a "community talk" forum.

regards,
hari
