Disable firmware check of Lovefilm app

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 :mrgreen:
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 :mrgreen:

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?

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...
