Ok, I'm sort of partly back in business
I used a hacked version of the hospitality hack to get full root access back again. Once each image was made I duplicated one of the directories and called it T-GASMDEUC for my monitor.
So now I have ftp access and in /mtd_down/widgets/user/SamyGO/SamyGO/etc/init.d/service_name.init.dis the following: -
Code: Select all

These files look like a combination of my original SamyGO Extensions plus new ones from my attempt to reinstall. Do the dates look ok? Should there be a 03_03_sshd.init or is that only for C series?
One thing I find strange is "194 Jan 1 1980 01_04_pvr_drm_disable.init.dis"
My reason for installing in the first place was to enable this and I did as I explained here
viewtopic.php?f=39&t=5262#p38588 back in Jan 2013 but now I find it disabled

Could the installation of the new firmware have disabled this?
I re-enabled the 01_04_pvr_drm_disable.init.dis & 06_05_bb_httpd.init.dis but after doing so neither appear to work; you go through the motions and start a recording but after a few seconds there world be a popup telling you that recording had failed

and I when I point a browser at the monitor if just times out (IE says the connection is refused)
Now when I telnet to the monitor and do a "ls -l" I get :-
ls -l
's: invalid option -- '
VDLinux-BusyBox v1.14.3-VD Linux VDLinux.1.2.1.x (2011-01-18 10:51:51 KST) multi-call binary
Usage: ls [-1AacCdeFilnpLRrSsTtuvwxXhk] [filenames...]
List directory contents
Options:
-1 List in a single column
-A Don't list . and ..
-a Don't hide entries starting with .
-C List by columns
-c With -l: sort by ctime
--color[={always,never,auto}] Control coloring
-d List directory entries instead of contents
-e List full date and time
-F Append indicator (one of */=@|) to entries
-i List inode numbers
-l Long listing format
-n List numeric UIDs and GIDs instead of names
-p Append indicator (one of /=@|) to entries
-L List entries pointed to by symlinks
-R List subdirectories recursively
-r Sort in reverse order
-S Sort by file size
-s List the size of each file, in blocks
-T NUM Assume tabstop every NUM columns
-t With -l: sort by modification time
-u With -l: sort by access time
-v Sort by version
-w NUM Assume the terminal is NUM columns wide
-x List by lines
-X Sort by extension
-h List sizes in human readable format (1K 243M 2G)
Is this the busybox that I have enabled above?
What is the best way for me go forwards? By forwards I mean I would like the drm free recording to work.
Should I try to apply all of the latest SamyGo Extensions or investigate if there is a way to return to an older more friendly firmware?
Thanks
Richard
