G2 Notes
WDLXTV_G2 DOES NOT INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:
- perl
- python
- php
- rtorrent/rutorrent
- NZBget
- apache
This is a permanent flash, like an official upgrade.
xmount Notes
To see NFS/CIFS/XFS/ReiserFS/NDAS devices, you must either:
- have a supported drive/flashdisk plugged in for xmounts to appear
- xmounts show up in Local Drives -> All Folders only!
OR
- have CIFSINTERCEPTOR enabled and /conf/cifs-interceptor set up with shares
- Power cycle = unplug & re-plug power cable, *NOT* power off&on via remote *
net.mounts file is where you can place NFS/CIFS/ftp/ssh shares that you would like loaded at boot.
net.mounts must either be on a drive at boot or in /conf to be used, every boot.
Smaba Notes
If you'd like to customize Samba options you may include your own custom smb.conf. Include smb.conf (smbpasswd goes in /conf/smbpasswd) at the root of an attached device, then power cycle and it will be loaded.
Passwords
These are the default passwords of WDLXTV, these will NOT be reset if you upgrade/reflash your firmware!
If you forgot your password you can reset the telnet/SSH and weblogin with this application.
| Application | Username | Password | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| sys/telnet/ssh | root | no password, change immediately using telnet! | |
| WDLXTV-Webend | wdlxtv | wdlxtv | |
| mt-daapd | admin | not installed on minimal/G2 |
Install Instructions
Copy to usb key formated to FAT/FAT32 (use standard windows format) or under linux mkfs.vfat
Don't use NFTS its better to use better supported well known FS like FAT
Vista is using exFAT also PE2USB is able format USBkey to FAT16/FAT32
if new firmware is not recognized change wdtv/wdtvhd/wdtvlive/wdtvlive2 bin to higher release in the wdtv/wdtvhd/wdtvlive/wdtvlive2 .ver file
VERSION='1.02.21.WDLXTV_LIVE-0.4.2.0' LOCATION='wdtvlive.bin'
probably you should change to
VERSION='2.20.04.WDLXTV_LIVE-0.4.2.0' LOCATION='wdtvlive.bin'
