Voxel Custom firmware build for R9000/R8900 v. 1.0.4.74HF

[mdhains]

I am having a similar OpenVPN issue as peteyg82, but with RBK50. With the latest firmware update, while I can still connect to my router, I don't seem to be able to do anything else, as if there is no internet connection. I've been using the same configuration file that I downloaded based on the OpenVPN client setup instructions in the router firmware. I downloaded a new configuration file when I ran into the issue above using the old file, but it didn't help. I've never made an edit to the configuration file (because I don't know anything about editing them). The only variable that has changed has been the firmware update. I can go back to the previous firmware, but would still like to understand what is going on with the current firmware.

Thanks.

I'm sorry, but I need extra time to test OpenVPN for ORBI. No significant differences there from the R9000 though.

But mounting the CD/DVD-ROM is so far only from the command line (ssh/telnet), something like:

mkdir /mnt/cdrom
mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom -o utf8

The rest is for your purposes: it's homework for you.

Hello again Voxel!
I've updated to your latest 1.0.4.75HF today and I'm happy to report this worked, although not every disc I threw at it mounted at first (a few old cd's didn't work but actual blurays did). I should clarify, I can't play legit blurays from an AppleTV, as the files are copy protected. This is just my media player, I assumed as much. Though for my original goal of running home movies I'm confident it should work fine.

I did one last piece of homework to get SMB configured. From this thread:

Edit smb.conf in Voxel Firmware

Hi everybody, I’m sorry for the dumb question, newbie here. I installed the latest (awesome) Voxel firmware on my R7800 and got a SSH connection. I'd like to edit and add some lines to the smb.conf, but if I edit /etc/samba/smb.conf with nano, at the reboot it gets overwritten. How can I do...

I made a copy of /etc/config/samba/smb.conf and called it user.conf
Then added the following after leaving a space at the bottom

[DVD-ROM Drive]
  path=/tmp/mnt/cdrom
  read only=yes
  browsable=yes
  guest ok=yes

Followed by a quick smb restart

/etc/init.d/samba restart

Overall pretty happy with how this turned out! Thanks for the support and taking interest in this with me
