Wifi, audio and power issues with AMPr12 in Argosy HV335T
Posted: 29 May 2015, 03:47
Hi! I'm having some issues with AMPr12 in my Argosy HV335T, hope someone could help. I'm using the recommended theme (vrtn).
1) Wifi doesn't work (my wifi usb dongle is Zonet ZEW2546 802.11N). Access points are shown, so I suppose the wifi usb dongle is recognized, but after putting password it says "Testing ...", and after a while it doesn't connect.
lsmod show this for my player
I think Farvoice recommend me by private message to add the driver to my /usr/local/etc/rcS so i put the following line in that file but it doesn't connect either (maybe i didn't understand him right).
/sbin/modprobe /lib/modules/2.6.12.6-VENUS/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/amp/rtl8712/8712u.ko
Here is the full /usr/local/etc/rcS just in case
I'm missing some configuration maybe?
I must say that before using vrtn theme, i tried HD2, and with that theme the wifi usb works ok.
2) Second issue, is with power/shutdown states. After shutting down the gui, I can't power on the player again. The only way is to disconnect it from ac power, and then power on again.
I already check the "Actions on Power" module as the FAQ suggest, trying to use both Mele and Xtreamer settings (Farvoice told me that those players have a similar behaviour) but it doesn't seems to go to shutdown state properly, cause after shutting down the GUI, the disk continue spinning and the front led light blinking.
Just in case it helps, I ask Argosy support and they told me this about the power states of the HV335T player.
Anyone has found a fix for this or has a player with similar behaviour?
3) Last issue, I can't get analog audio output (sound through HDMI works ok when testing in other TVs). The FAQ suggest that could be related to power settings, but as I say I already tried using Mele and Xtreamer in "Actions on Power" module and doesn't seem to work.
Thanks in advance to all of you! Hope I'm clear with the issues

Argosy HV335T power cycle has 3 states. Power Off-Standby-Power On. The HV335T Realtek player has an MCU (SONIX 8 bit) that handle IR, LED and Power. The HV335T UI code communicate with MCU. They use password by I2C. The power procedure is this one
step 1. MCU get IR trigger and power on everything.
step 2. MCU let LED be blinking and get the command from UI when UI finish booting. MCU let LED continus lighting. MCU will check if is Argosy's UI.
step 2.1. UI pick a random number and convert to a hex code and send to MCU.
step 2.2. MCU check the hex code from its embedded table and send a response hex code to UI.
step 2.3. UI check if both code could be match or do MD5 comparsion.
step 3. MCU let the LED be dark and light once when user press remote controller.
step 4. UI get the POWER OFF and finish spindown HDD and let MCU go to sleeping mode.
step 5. User press the POWER key of remote controller and MCU will wake up and go to step 1.
As your unit continue blinking after power on the gui, i think is not entering in the power on mode correctly, it remains in step 2, and because of that you can't shutdown the unit properly, and then power on again.
Anyone has found a fix for this or has a player with similar behaviour?
3) Last issue, I can't get analog audio output (sound through HDMI works ok when testing in other TVs). The FAQ suggest that could be related to power settings, but as I say I already tried using Mele and Xtreamer in "Actions on Power" module and doesn't seem to work.
Thanks in advance to all of you! Hope I'm clear with the issues
