T-R42 custom firmware by wasser

[wasser]

Thanks Wasser for the new Kernel.

I came from the traditional media players and might be asking too much for what the device can handle ATM.

For me either stay on forever with the Stay Awake checked or Sleep request by me through IR remote. If Sleep then I want to wake it up through IR remote. Hope the new kernel finally fixed the Sleep issue then I am all set.

Thanks.

could you please test the new kernel?

Hello Wasser

Hello Wasser,

I tested the T-R42 1080p Kernel over night and it was still running this morning ...
So this kernel is correct staying awake ...I will test again tongiht ...
With Out USB Hard drive this time ...

Good Job ... But I still have a Issue with the Kernels if I turn the Units Off and On again ...
This happens after turnning it on/off 3-5 times ... then it fails ...
Sometimes , it Does NOT always Restart and I have to Unplug it and Plug it back in again to get it to restart. I will Test More today ...

And I will Run Tests On the K-R42 Kernels You posted as Well

Thanks again for all the hard work ...

what do you mean " turn the Units Off and On" ? You cannot wake up your t-r42 from "power off mode", it's not supported.Only wakeup from standby/sleep mode worksAnd sometimes the wakeup process takes time (but not longer than 1 minute).

Hello Wasser

Hello Wasser,

What Does Turn on/off Mean:

Here is a Example:

1) I turn the Unit on ... Then I turn if Off with the IR remote(sleep on/off I press power button on remote once quickly). On/off is sleep on/off with ir remote ...
I repeat these steps 3 to 5 times and then at some point between 3 to 5 times of
doing this It will NOT turn Back on and I have to Un-plug the Unit and plug it
back in to get it to turn back on ....

I Hope this makes it easier to under stand ...

I under stand the difference between Sleep and off ...
I am talking about sleep ... ( I press the power button on ir remote once quickly no pop-up window) ..

does any shttdown windows popup and ask you to sleep,power off, reboot when you press the power key on your ir-remore?

[michael2t]

Hello Wasser

Hello Wasser,

The pop-up only happens if I press and Hold the Power Button... then I get Pop-window.
I do NOT get Popup Window When I press once normally.(quickly)

Then I can Press once Normally and it turns back on ...

I do The Same thing With USB Remote and It powers back on ... but it always stops working after 3-5 Power on /off ... But It NEVER gives me pop-up..for USB
I have been testing most of this morning ... Sometime it will work for as many as 8 power on/offs before failing ...

1 could you please try ping your t-r42 from other computer if the network connection is still alive when the wakeup fails?
2 try to press several times the power key and wait till 1 or 2 minites.

Hi Wasser,

I did some tests last night with the new kernel and it is still not working right/consistent.

Here is my result:

1) Pressed the Power button on the IR remote once to bring up the Sleep/Power Off/Reboot screen and it shut down the device. I have to unplug the power cord cable and plug it back in to turn the device on.

2) Pressed and hold the Power button on the IR remote to bring up the Sleep/Power Off/Reboot screen and it did. I tried put it into Sleep and Wake up through IR remote and it worked on my first attempt. NOTE: The LED light on the little button of the device did NOT turned from Blue to Orange. The light just turned off. I tried the second time to put it into Sleep and Wake up through IR remote and it did NOT worked. I had to use the little button on the device to Wake Up and it did a fresh reboot instead of resume.


The original stock firmware that came with the box behaves like this.

1) Pressed the Power button on the IR remote once to bring up the Power Off/Reboot screen and it did successfully with no issues.

2) Selected Power Off after the Power Off/Reboot screen came up would put the device into Sleep mode. NOTE: The LED light on the little button of the device turned from Blue to Orange.

3) Pressed the Power button on the IR remote after device Power Off and it Wake Up the device successfully with multiple attempts.

Is it possible if you can make it behaves like the original stock firmware that came with the box? There is an original stock firmware that came with the box already uploaded and I wonder if you can take a look at it and see if you can make the custom firmware works like that.
