OpenTViX on HD M-6640N?

[brettw]

Hi guys,

Is it possible to install the OpenTViX firmware on a TViX HD M-6640N PVR?

I downloaded BadEIP_M-6x00_1.5.19-Seres_unlocked+NOBDTrail_R1.fwp and opentvix_M-6x00_1.5.19-r1.1.fwp, but when I navigate to the firmware files on my USB stick and select one of them (doesn't matter which one), then the 6640N claims that it is not a valid firmware file.

My 6640N is currently running the official firmware tvix_6600_1.9.9.fwp.

Also, does OpenTViX provide us with the ability to use the 6640N as a media server?

Regards,

No it's not. The firmware is not compatible. The format of the firmware is different and the architecture of the 6600 is different from the 6500. Someone who owns a 6600 needs to do some work on it. A few people have come here and said they will to *anything* to make it work. I tell them what they need to do and they disappear.

See the other threads on the 6600 and the N1 for more info.

Hi,

I have tried to use tvixfw05alpha to dump and then create tvix firmware for M6600 (tvix_6600_2.0.3_A3.fwp).
Dumping went well and I got a folder (tvix_6600_2.0.3_A3.fwp.dump) with 5 files.
In the creation I got a core dump with the following information:

Code: Select all

Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION at eip=004021B9
eax=00000000 ebx=6120E467 ecx=61024000 edx=00013E00 esi=6120E472 edi=00000000

End of stack trace

My runlines are:
dump: ./tvixfw.exe --dump tvix_6600_2.0.3_A3.fwp
creation(from the tvix_6600_2.0.3_A3.fwp.dump folder): ../tvixfw.exe --create 0.fwp.header

I am running on windows using cygwin or from the cmd
Am I doing something wrong?

thanks,
PS - I am trying to modify the firmware to include more internet content by modifying the 2.fwp.uncompressed1 file, which seems to have xml text lists with pointers to podcast (search abcnews for example). I would appreciate any comments/pointers to content if anyone is familiar
