Disable firmware check of Lovefilm app

[ocean]

I only changed needUpgrade in else if to "false" in index.html of app, so there is no more update advice and you can use app without upgrade
Maybe you need to check if movies are running with this...

Code: Select all

var version,
				needUpgrade = false;
				if(firmwareVersion.indexOf("T-INFOLINK2012") != -1){
					version = firmwareVersion.substring(15,firmwareVersion.length);
					if(parseInt(version,10) < 1019)
						//needUpgrade = true;
						needUpgrade = false;
				}
				else if(firmwareVersion.indexOf("T-INFOLINK2013") != -1){
					version = firmwareVersion.substring(15,firmwareVersion.length);
					if(parseInt(version,10) < 1006)
						//needUpgrade = true;
						needUpgrade = false;
				}

That was the reason why I thought about an FW Upgrage from 2003.4....

How simple on logical this is
BIG Thx for sharing - Will report...

EDIT

Works - Movies are not testet up to now because I have no login yet...

Strange thing is that the upgrade variable shown < 1019 ! And I have 2003...
I think their way to test the FW is not very good

EDIT 2

Movie - TV Series - Everything I tested is working flawlessly...

Thx again for this hint!

EDIT 3

Works also after LOVEFILM update from today - Its needed to do the change again (of course)

if an update will change back the "needupgrade = false" to "true" we could try an automatation with:

Code: Select all

#exchange "true" with "false" in needUpgrade variable        Path of your lovefilm app index.html file

sed -i -e "s,needUpgrade = true,needUpgrade = false," /mtd_rwcommon/widgets/normal/111399000990/index.html

in one of our init-scripts. So any change will be undone after reboot

Nice Idea...

Added your script to one of my custom init.d script - Works like charm! Thx.

WTF I think there was a update on amazon's side. The disabling no longer working *damn*
@zoelechat: is it safe to do the update to T-MST10PDEUC-2004.1 without loosing root?

[fluffi444]

The disabling no longer working *damn*

Same here... Without any app-update! So it looks like that they check the firmware on another way - maybe not accessible for us?!

Do you found something in the meantime?

I did a little trace yesterday, it seems there is some traffic with an irish amazon server (at least for my german Tv)... That's all I found out right now. Maybe someone could find out what the server asks on tv that we could fake the answer...

...an irish amazon server...

Yeah, Ireland is tax haven
