Demetris's Photo Demetris 22 Apr 2010

Hello,

Would this work?

PUT:

PluginX.bin in /usr/bin/

and

PUT:

PluginX.sh in /bin/sh with name softcam.PluginX.sh

Thanks

Is it a plugin or a softcam?
CCcam is a softcam not a plugin

Hi,
Can anyone confirm this will work?

/etc/init.d/softcam.xxx.sh

/usr/bin/xxx.bin

Thanks

make that /etc/init.d/softcam.xxx - doesnt need (or work) with the .sh at the end

for /usr/bin/xxx doesnt realy need the .bin .. but if it is there .. make sure you reference it as such in the /etc/init.d script

good luck

ftp the file to the box and use the tar command to unpack it?

Wan wizard.

I want to install a skin called elgatoHD.tar.gz.

What would the command for that be in telnet.

Thanks

command to unpack .tar.gz archive is
tar zxvf archive_name.tar.gz
so in your case, ftp tarball for example to /tmp
then in telnet:
cd /tmp
tar zxvf elgatoHD.tar.gz

I had already been running the moded elgato HD on my VU for the last 3-4 weeks.

It worked perfectly except the help button would cause a crash but I didnt use this option anyway. (others had reported that they werent having this problem with it in PLi on VU+).

I hadnt updated the box with nightly backup since the issues of the 18th, when I did an update (51 packages) the timer and recording were not working so I wanted to rebuild my machine and install the skin correctly incase when I manually copied them some files were not installed or permissions were wrong.

Demitris,

I ftped the file to /tmp and ran with the above commands.

cd /tmp
tar zxvf elgatoHD.tar.gz

Demitris,

Compare the names in the psots.
I posted that. lol.

I did a manual copy and it worked but the help button caused a green screen.

Others had said that it installed ok so I thought I was missing files or had incorrect file permissions so I tried (for the first time) the tar.gz but it didnt work.

So thats why I posted here as BLZR helped me on thsi before so I wanted to see if he had success with it.

This time
