I saw several posts on this, but couldn't find a solution. I have SonicBlue badged receiver with the 1.4 firmware and can't get it to boot the original software using the mock scripts. Booting from Windows works fine. Booting RRR with the mock scripts works fine also. After finding the server, the screen turns black and the unit reboots, finds the server again, and on and on...

Any hints? Would downgrading for 1.3 help (if that's possible at all)?

I think the major problem is that the ssdp.pl script expects a string from the player that looks to be a serial number, and the player's is too new for it. Look in the script and find the variables $player_request and $linux_request and delete the last two hex digits from them. That may be all you need to do.

Thanks for the tip, just tried it, it didn't help. I also tweaked ssdp.pl a little bit to give me some debug output. It seems it is getting the first ("Linux") request and responding to it properly, but it never sees any other requests after that.

Any ideas?

Seems I just found the problem myself. The permissions of the files in the original receiver.arf don't seem to be set right. A quick chmod 755 * -R made it work. *doh*
