dgcruzing this is out of my league but I believe the kernel and source for all of that stuff is published on Amlogic openlinux site.

great..
also looking at it,s still the older branch they are using..2.6.39 and not they 3.1 versions..
understanding that whoever takes it on will have their hands full as there is a stack of drivers to pack..
I am in no position to give it a crack as not a hack and pack guy..
but I am hands up for beta testing..
 
the hd streams works perfect, no lag? is working with the mouse?
i had before instaled the xbmc linux and the hd streams worked without problems only is full with bugs
try to install navix plugin and see if the streams arw not chopy

I am going to need a new name..haha.. too many posts..

I wanna O/C this thing..
We need source for the kernel..

As I was saying above.. if we can get the 3 part flashing going.. then it means we can flash kernel separately..
i.e - flash u-boot upgrades..flash image upgrades and then flash Kernel..
Bloody Chinese need to release source so some bright bugger can work on it..
I am sure we could over clock the box's up to 1200-1400 as heat is not a problem on mine..
its got a fan and well ventilated.. so I would love to see how fast and stable the 800's are on o/c..

I am kinds spewing.. should have done a bit more research on them.. as the dual core are out already..
thinking of selling mine and upgrading already.. but might kill it instead with playing with it..as they are cheap enough..

At the moment, it wont let me O/C so we need to pull the kernel apart.. and put some new governors in it..

ok.. I will start the bidding..

kickstarter...

$US50 to any PayPal account for someone to supply me a kernel that I can flash and can O/C :D
O.. if you could add in "uniput.ko" as well.. then we would be cooking with gas..

and now I am sure others will want it..
so if we all chip in..
I am sure someone could rise to the challenge..

Very interesting, really you can O/C this box ? if you get all the source code you need?

I can't see why not..
most chips are under clocked for health reasons..
manufacturers want them to run at a stable speed for the hardware matched to them..
if we are able to them control the governor's via the kernels..then in theory we should be able to O/C.
The M1-3000 is advertised with a ARM Contex A9, 800Mhz - 1000gHz clock speed..the stock kernel is limited it to 800 on mine.
thus I am missing out on that extra 200gHz-400ghz..

My 1000gHz transformer has been running for a year on 1480 with no drama's and some run them to 1700..
So I am betting we can a comfortable 1200- 1400 out of these box's if we get a kernel that opens these speeds up to use to play with..
As to heat..as we have a internal fan and mine seems well ventilated..minus the harddrive at this stage..as this will introduce heat into the area as well..

discussion on it..

hy , first of all ,i'm new of this forum ,and in second time sorry for my english;in this last year that i bought a atv 1000 i appreciate a lot this forum...
i upgraded three times the device from 2.3 gb to ics4.0...
for me it's important to use skype on this m1 and when i used 2.3gb the video output of the webcam ,logitechc270, worked fine but not the audio.
upgraded to 4.0 ics the audio work fine but during the video call the person connected with me cannot see my video,so it seeems to having understood that this realease work fine with skype UPDATE 20120606 M1 2.3 it's that true...please make me know..
even it could depend by multiple variables :connection,cpu speed ,ram, and so on..
if somebody knows ...??!!
thanks a lot and greetings
 
I have the Diamond Multimedia AMP1000, which is a re-branded ATV1000.

It is upgraded to ICS 4.0.3.

I have connected a Western Digital 1TB MyBook as sda1, with lots of movies on it. That's great if I want to watch the movies on the AMP1000, but I want to share those files on my LAN.

With my WDTV Live Streaming Media Player, its attached drive is visible on the LAN. But my AMP1000 is not seen on the network.

So, is there a way, through a third-party Android app or through an option on the AMP1000 settings, to share its drive on the LAN?

yes 0606 works ok with skype. only question is resolution of camera - the bigger resolution slower video.

If you look on Google Play market for samba you will find some samba server apps like this one, you might have to try a few to see which works.

I'm not sure these boxes would be fast enough for streaming media either so you might want to see about a DLNA server app instead which might makes things a little faster.

thank'you very much for the answer , but when i reinstall 0606 skype video works but it find immediatly the upgrade for skype and after having done the upgrade skype webcam doesn't work no more,i though not to do the upgrade the skype but it didn't work audio for skype...so how can i set the resolution for webcam in skype...!!!???
sorry always for my english and thanks a lot!!
 
i'm not sure that skype do upgrade by itself?! try to diseable "automatic upgrade" option in goole play. i'm use to use skype on different devices and never got situation that upgrade is done by automatism.

resolution in skype is not possible to set by number, only with last item in settings "video quality" -> high - low. but i'm always use it on high, so i can't tell is there any big difference.

few months ago, and few pages on this topic back i posted question about camreras, and seems that little number of users use skype with box so i didn't get my answer - same as yours. and in the and, instead HQ logitech 270 i bought logitech 210 camera. just because of slow video and because everything was wery slow and laggy because high res camera.

and you english is very good! ;-)

thank you very much...
it's not an absolute necessity i use skype on M1 , cause like you i use it on multiple devices, it's only a curiosity if it's low ram and so on...
i'll try your solution with low resolution camera...
thank's a lot...!!!
 
Lo there. All this talk of Skype. Picked up a cheap Logitech c110 in supermarket the other day. Only a few quid.
With ICS Skype starts but video has huge lags and audio does not seem to work properly.
Thought that as this was a low spec non-HD Webcam, and also Logitech like the C210, then I had a chance of it working. Set video Qual to "low" btw.
Is this likely to be a webcam compatibility issue or not? As it seems people above are having issues with compatible C210's in ICS.

Cheers

210 works. first there was proble with camera drivers, and native camera app. that was solved with third-party app (quick snap) and after that all went ok. in sticky is little text about cameras. basicaly - it must be driverless. lag is constant because low memory of device. only solution is to free ram with some task killer and start up skype only.

@AGILULFO7, yes, that is problem - low memory, and skype itself gettin' bigger and bigger. and more and more complex app and slowly becoming somekind of multi-IM app. imho, loosing that first purpouse. but, luckely, there is few other apps which will very likely in future replace skype.

NP! i'll try to help if i know! ;-)

Hi Vikidroid.

Can you explain this comment about "quick snap"? Are you saying it includes some drivers to make the webcam work smoother? I havent tried this method, where do we get this quick snap app? For me the Skype video conf is not smooth at all (using latest GB firmware). :(

Thanks.
 
older version of GB OS, used to have broken camera app. only what was working was gallery. if you tryed to start camera, there was error message about app. so, i needed to find as smaller and lighter app that works. and from few different apps (camera zoom, 360camera, camerafx....) i found this one. i can't give you direct link to app, but there is link to google play. hope that admin alowes that.

after instalation, and after testing and tryng all of other free and/or payed apps, this one was smaller, simplyest and it works as it supposed. no more, no less. _after_ instalation of that app i managed to receive good, stabile (little bit laggy) pic in skype.
about smoothenes of video in skype, i already wrote, try in settings to set to low, and try with other camera with low resolution (0,3mpix will do the work).

Thanks, I installed the Samba Server on my AMP1000, and it works, but only for the SD card, not for the WD USB HDD. The Samba Server app can only share VFAT-formatted devices :-(

Use the version - dev, details is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8239139&postcount=128
and load file:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=780909&d=1321156280

-set options (at the bottom of the settings) - do not overwrite the file smb.conf
-with root to edit the file - /data/data/com.funkyfresh.samba/files/smb.conf - replaced at the end of file - /mnt/sdcard to /mnt

All partitions are mounted to /mnt will be seen. (Check the disks with the file systems ntfs, ext3)
 
Thanks @schit for that tip on the Samba app.

My AMP1000 is not rooted, so I can't edit that samba.conf file.

Are there any instructions on how to root the Geniatech ATV1000?

use esfile explorer or Solid explorer
on esfile explorer go into settings and allow for root view..
also show hidden files..
Then you can edit the files as you please..
as said.. All Geniatech comes rooted..
 
Thank you, @dgcruzing and @schit. I didn't know about those settings in ES File Explorer. The Samba Server is working with my USB HD now.
