i was using SMBup on Lion as a work around, I can confirm it still works on Mavericks.

... You can also use the Mac program to copy files from the DP-P2 to your Mac with Eric Fry's "WizMac" app. I thinks it's on the OpenWiz wiki somewhere . Added a link to "somewhere" :) Thanks, the openwiz wiki wasn't working at the time and I couldn't get an address for it. :D

Hi slugdog, You might be in luck, I think I've got a solution for connecting to the time capsule shared folders with the Wiz after setting up my old man's DP-P2 with a wireless repeater to his Time Capsule. Make sure your P2 can get a network address from you router by going in to SETUP > Network > ...

Ah thanks for the info prl. Shame we can't just copy and paste a codec into the P1/P2 firmware :lol: Vasme you could use Popcorn DTS Audio Converter to convert the DTS track to AC3 6 track with no loss of quality Ah bummer that is window only but looks like a great program. I'm on Mac and have to go...

hawk_eyes

Is there anyway we can hack the firmware the P2 to decode DTS audio or is it a hardware thing?

hawk_eyes

I've had a few lockups in the fileplayer so far (01_05_334). I'm not sure what's causing them and I can't reproduce it. Just happens randomly when watching movies I have ripped from dvd.

Right click on the link (or control-click) and select 'Download linked file'.

Ha that fixed it! Must have cleared the service information by accident when clearing the EPG cache. Thanks.

hawk_eyes

May have found a HUGE bug after upgrading my DP-P2 to .334. The update completed fine and I got a message to clear the epg caches etc. Went into setup, cleared everything, and tried to exit setup with the EXIT button. It wouldn't exit to live tv and kept looping back to the Setup page. I could acces...

hawk_eyes

Hmm yeah. So the best solution would be to get an optical toslink cable then? The TV has optical so I wonder if it will output whatever HDMI audio it receives out from that, but he also plugs his laptop and dvd player to the amp with the same HDMI cable (swaps between dvd, ps3 and laptop with one ca...

Hi, Hopefully the gurus here can help me out with a tech problem. I'm t trying to help my mate setting up his PS3 to output audio to his new Yamaha amp with HDMI connections.

I picked up a Netgear WNDR3700 dual band router with Readyshare. My Wiz picks up any shared usb drives without any problems.

The Wiki is up to date. Beyonwiz has been doing some more investigations on the problems that the beta is intended to fix, in particular the FTA EPG problems. One user has reported receiving a repaired BW from BW Australia with firmware 1.07.040, which is more recent than the last version distribut...

hawk_eyes

Just as good a place as any to post a question here I suppose. How are the betas coming along? The openwiz firmware page says there haven't been any betas for a month or so, and I was wondering about any progress. I realise the wiki may not have been updated recently.

Cheers.

I've got a Macbook Pro (early 2008) and DP-P2 also. What model/year Macbook pro is yours? I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and can play all files off my mac shared folders fine.

I'm also using IceTV. Most of my lockups occur in the fileplayer watching internal recordings, USB files or steaming networked files. Keh? So that is lockups under any (fileplayer based) situation then? Thats whats it appears to be in my case, but I can't tell when it's going to happen or when. Som...

I've been wondering whether the instability problems are associated with/caused by the problems in the FTA EPG. Are any of the people seening increased problems in .320 using IceTV EPG? I'm also using IceTV. Most of my lockups occur in the fileplayer watching internal recordings, USB files or steam...

hawk_eyes

There is definitely something fishing going on with my P2 since I've installed .320. It seems to lock up when a program is recording, then accessing the fileplayer; or by pressing the stop button to cancel a video after watching part of it. Lockups also tend to happen randomly while watching network...

hawk_eyes

Just popping in with my experiences. Over the past two weeks I have had quite a lot of lock-ups in the fileplayer, which required me to power off the unit. It seems to lock up after pressing the Stop button after watching a recorded file or networked file. It sort of comes and goes when it does it. ...

Just replaced my batteries in the remote today, and discovered that you need to redo any macros. Just thought I'd post and give a heads up. It took me a while to figure out why my Wiz and TV weren't turning on at the same time.

hawk_eyes

I've had a bit of a play around with the tools, and just to clarify I have no experience with the cmd line, so I have no idea what i'm doing.

I've decided to play it safe, leave it for now and try again later.

hawk_eyes

With the WizFwTools on windows (win 7) I can't seem to get it to work. IS it just as simple as running the appropriate .exe because it pops up a command window then closes. Am I doing something wrong or is it just not compatible with Win7?

hawk_eyes

Oh wow... you are going to have a steep learning curve then. Yeah, a bit late in this product's life cycle to go bothering with it now?? I have a lot of free time at the moment. :P Many of the graphics are just plain files in a set of directories under "wizdvp/guidata". All you need to do...

hawk_eyes

Sounds promising. I was thinking to myself that i would have to keep any edited images the same size as the originals due to space requirements in the firmware. I'm not to fussed with changing the background images, it seems fine to me. Are all the visual elements grayscale, which the Wiz then appli...

hawk_eyes

Would it be possible to modify the elements of the Wiz GUI, i.e status bars, and overlays? If the GUI is based off simple .png images or whatnot then I was interested in making it look a bit more modern with some gloss and colour changes. I've tried unpacking the firmware to have a look but since I'...

I made an .iso of my Austin Powers: Goldmember DVD to test the new Firmware. It froze before it got to the main menu.

I like the new options for the EPG and Fileplayer help menus.

Is the largest you can make the Windows partition 32GB because of Linux FAT on the Mac system or am I on the wrong track? Why do you think you made the partition too small?

So do the Mac OSX come in 32bit and 64bit versions or is it as simple as a setting the user can change? There is only one version that you get, but depending on your hardware it will either run in 32 or 64 bit mode (the new iMacs will probably be 64bit). It gets kinda tricky because the kernel can ...

Can I ask why you chose VMware Fusion over parallels?

At the time I thought it was a better choice than Parallels in terms of performance. Fusion runs in 64bit mode too, so it can use more ram.

hawk_eyes

Bootcamp runs really well, just as good as any PC (if not better!

). I personally use VMware Fusion, as an alternative to Parallels, it runs fantastic as well.

P.S. If you want to be sneaky and get a discount you could use the online Education store.

I just wanted to let you guys know I had this problem not too long ago, with pretty much the same symptoms as the original poster. Got home one day, turned the P2 on and was not able to do any timeshifting, which I thought was strange. After opening the fileplayer and trying to play some recordings ...

Timers shouldn't be a problem as I am using IceTV for the guide and timers. DCM is now off. Earlier in the day there were two NBN HD channels for some reason. I was getting Ice guide data for one of them only. After another partial scan there is now only one NBN HD channel as expected, but no Ice da...

hawk_eyes

With DCM turned on the Wiz keeps deleting my NBN HD channel. I've cleared any duplicate channels after a re-scan. Oh well I will just have to turn off DCM and wait until they finish the upgrades I suppose.

Well that explains all the shenanigans I was having last night!

Oh bugger.

totally forgot about this. Since I'm on holidays and don't have access to the Wiz for a week, If i have left the Wiz on AUTO time, can I just resend Ice timers and everything will still record at the right time once daylight savings has started.

I just set my iPod as a shared folder when you have it set in "hard disk mode". You can see all the files on the iPod like movies but music is in the "iPod control" folder but with a mess of weird folder names so it's hard to tell which song you want. I can't seem to get it going...

Just did a quick test to verify the ISO and VOB issues.

It would not even load on .104. I only had this test ISO to t...

No offence to hawk eyes but running a HDMI cable to TV is not the same as digital coax or optical to an amp. Have either of you guys tried the new version 1.07.014 DP-P2 firmware yet? http://www.beyonwiz.com/support/download.php I must be getting digital signals, HDMI and optical cables mixed up. :...

Has anyone replicated this fault?

My TV does it every time (video or mp3).

And you were right that it does it when playing a file directly off the hdd, not when only using the network.

hawk_eyes

That's good news that they are aware of the issue and that the beta guys are discussing it. Maybe a solution can be found. Would it have anything to do with the interaction between network access and the digital audio components in the Wiz, seeing as it only happens when playing files from the netwo...
