Will 25Xtreme get updated?

[Astrogoth]

Howdy,

With all the new stuff that's come out since the release of 25Xtreme I wonder if there'll be an update?

The log file fix, the CCC improvements, network driver support, the newer TivoMad and with luck a way to disable remote BIOS updates. Maybe a few more.


This would be good. Anyone know of an update coming?

[BubbaJ]

let us know when you finish it.

I'm sure it will. 25xtreme has been a lifesaver!! At least I HOPE it will!!

When is the 3.0 release of the Tivo OS?

I put together an add-on package that includes a lot of the goodies, but I wasn't planning on a complete replacement. I haven't decided whether to even release it since it makes the hacks easier not even requiring bash to enable/disable and customize. My original thought was to put together something that would help those who were struggling with mvchannels, fixsub, log control, showcase/mags activation, etc. But my other side is cautioning restraint since the easier we make hacking the more likely TiVo is to start an anti-hacking crusade. Then again, from what I gather about v3.0, hacks might be locked down anyway so maybe they won't care much about v2.5.

Also I wonder why others who were working on an enhanced xtreme have apparently given up. Other priorites would be my guess.

Superzap, I'm semi new to this board so please let me think you for all your efforts. Really.

After thinking about your XYL's point I must say this: She may be right, but how can we know? If you want to play it safe all the group *really* needs is a mod' to disable updates. Everything else we can figure out in time. With help!


Thanks again.

ps. In a perfect world I'd *love* an updated Xtreme, say 2.5A.

I personally would be perfectly happy with another iso image (also a bootable linux) to add updates since 25Xtreme. It's be easier for Surgeon or whomever to put together, I'd think, and then applying upgrades to our tivos would be a 2 step process: 1) Apply 25Xtreme, 2) apply the latest followon disc. Think maybe?
