1.64 had a torrent client which was removed in 1.65 (I don’t know why ). The (hidden) CGI file was ‘torrent.cgi’.

since FW 1.64, CIFS is included

I don’t have any experiences about putting mpd to a samba share, but afaik, the performance impact shouldn’t be too large. This is because mpd stores any information in memory. A second read/write should only occur on database updates.

The thing that’s not so good about mpd is the ram problem. mpd is nice with a lot of swap, but not so good as standalone app.

It certainly seems ok with my setup, but maybe I don’t have as many songs as you. I suppose using smbfs as swap has too large a performance impact?

The mainapp would be the most work. I also dunno if we need a vtuner account. Without would be much easier.

The thing that’s not so good about mpd is the ram problem. mpd is nice with a lot of swap, but not so good as standalone app.

My experiences for now:
- Busybox v1.13.4 is a little bit smaller (about 100KB) and works when you use a cgi_wrapper
- Removing some timezones in /usr/share/zoneinfo can free about ~200KB compressed flash memory
- Removing the jpg files in /var/www/images, converting the html files from mac to unix and removing some languages (/var/www/text_*) can also free about ~200KB

After all, there are 900 KB free compressed rootfs on the MusicPal. That should be enough for some apps.

But to change kernel and toolchain, we really need to replace the third-party components.

that’s right. I forgot to turn off bass boost. Thanks for the patch.

I played a little bit with mpd and when you’ve got a huge mp3 list, swap space is required! My mpd runs with nearly 24 mb of ram

Unfortunately, swap is not activated in the musicpal firmware by default. I’ve got an FW-Replacement kit that unpacks the fw-image, replaces the kernel, compiles packages and compresses the fw-image again. Just like OpenWRT. When I finished it, I release it under GPL.

So I added flat equalizer settings at the end of oss_open() and rebuilt mpd. Now it sounds fine:

ioctl(od->fd, AUDIO_ALL_ON, NULL);

eq.bass = 0;
eq.treble = 0;
eq.dac = 255;
eq.flags = 0;
if (ioctl (od->fd, AUDIO_SET_EQUALIZER, &eq) == -1)
{
perror (“AUDIO_SET_EQUALIZER”);
exit (-1);
}
else
fprintf(stderr,”AUDIO_SET_EQUALIZER called successfully\n”);

audioOutput->open = 1;

return 0;

But it is possible that the patch that Maz wrote for mpd would override this setting.
