Thanks guys, very informative.

If kodi gets updated to 18.x and the hardware is up to streaming and decoding Netflix, I might not have a need for my Android box.

That's pretty good. Are there options in the menu to spin the attached USB HDD down after x minutes of inactivity?

I currently use hdparm on my server which works well.

Cheers. I suppose that also means it won't wake up if trying to watch live tv or play recordings on another client.

What are the power usage stats?

That's awesome. If the v2 is turned off, does it wake up if another kodi client tries to record a show? I'm looking for a more power efficient device to replace my tvheadend server which is always on drawing 50 watts on standby. I have 3 kodi frontend devices connected to it and its been running gre...

Are you able connect other kodi clients (eg. Running on an android box or raspberry pi) to the v2 and use the PVR functions including scheduling recordings from there?

I have a couple of batch files that run ffmpeg commands which usually fix problematic video files. Convert.bat extracts the video file from it's container if it's one (takes a handful of seconds to run). Convert - Audio Fix.bat does the same but also converts the audio to aac which I only use when I...

All is good. Discharged the capacitor as detailed in howto and checked with multimeter. Operated drill from a drill press outside therefore was a very steady process. I drilled only enough to get rid of solder pad. Would have gone to Jaycar and got a better tip, a hotter soldering iron and/or grabbe...

Brilliant, thanks for the guide. Fixed my DP-P2 a few days ago, boy did I miss it. First time I had error 0000, it was out of warranty for 3 months and a couple of days. Beyonwiz fixed it for $95 dollars including postage both directions. This time it cost me $42 and I almost have enough spare compo...

Can someone point me in the right directions for remote control? I have WAMPSERVER up and running on my pc but nothing loads when I navigate to: 'http://localhost' or 'http://localhost/index.php' and when I navigate to 'http://localhost/wizremote.php' I get a page with the following: \n"; echo ...

My logon finally works, thanks prl. P2 still working with modified firmware. Just have to figure out how to setup and configure a web server and then give 'Wizremote' a go. Am giving 'Abyss Web Server' a whirl, will see how I go.

Thanks prl, your suggestions worked a treat. Have replied to your email with results.

Original Firmware is fine - no errors.

Can you give me a megaupload link and I'll see if it works on my P2? That's the same firmware version I patched and it's also the same version I've currently got on my P2. The 30Nov2010_ver_0107350 firmware might thoroughly inspect the firmware file and is rejecting it because it has been modified? ...

Thanks prl.

I'm out of the country for a bit. I'll try your suggestions when I get back. Will post results.

Cheers. Maybe I'll have to go down this road as well. Could be a compatibility issue with the Windows gzip?

BWFWTools-0.2.4

I'm using Windows 7 Pro x64.

I downloaded Gzip and placed the gzip.exe and gunzip file in the same directory as BWFWTools which made the perl scripts function without errors.

Yes, perl script I meant
bw_patcher.pl unpatched_firmware.wrp patched_firmware.wrp Beyonwiz::Hack::Telnet

Which says "Firmware version is not recognizable".

Can you send me a patched .wrp file?

I've tried the BWFWTools Pearl script to patch the firmware - DPP2_Firmware_30Nov2010_ver_0107350.wrp Also tried the WizToolsGUI but it didn't have the DP-P2 to repack so I repacked via command line with WizFwTools using this command: wiz_pack -T 090800000A229E3C -V wiz_pack -i newimage.img -o P2Tel...

My DP-P2 was repaired and I just remembered that I hadn't patched the firmware for Telnet access.

After successfully patching the firmware I tried to apply it to the DP-P2 but it says "Firmware version is not recognizable".

How do I get around this?

Cheers.
Telnet required for WizRemote.

Unfortunately my DP-P2 has error 0000 at the moment and it is getting repaired. Fingers crossed I have it back shortly.

I'm trying to apply the Telnet patch in Win XP but don't understand how to add gunzip.pl in active perl. I have manually copied all the files from gzip's bin directory to the BWFWTools directory which allows me to use the scripts but would rather have the gunzip package installed. I successfully use...

My DP-P2 recently displayed error 0000 as well. Unfortunately this forum was down so I could only guess that something was wrong with the power supply. My P2 was about 3 months out of warranty but before pulling the lid off the P2 I figured I'd get in touch with Beyonwiz. They advised me that it's o...
