Pluto.php. Modified and updated for new DATV channels and other features (IS0GRB)

Hi Robert yes possible.

In fact i do not have the USB / Ethernet adapter so the insertion of that default gateway is important and is associated with the default USB network 192.168.2.0, while with the adapter the ethernet network configuration present in the config.txt file is different, so the first line of my file commands file in this case must be removed.

I hope now is ok

Hi Robert, i probably found the problem debugging the Pluto, i'm working to solve it

Hi Robert the problem should be solved.

Reboot the Pluto and reload the package with the usual txt file commands and it should work fine.

In your configuration you must remove the first line of the commands list, using the USB-Ethenet adapter you don't need to configure other gateways.

Thanks for your patience

Hello Evariste, i confirm that the firmware 0.32 is much more efficient and integrates a series of new commands that solve many problems. Also having the possibility to write on the 1M mtd2 jffs2 partition is very convenient.

Thank you for the great job and happy to participate in the project.

Hello Evariste, i've seen the changes and thank you.

I would like to ask you if it is possible to insert the static route already in the firmware to make sure that the Pluto, through the internet sharing configured on the computer, can be connected to the internet without the aid of a USB-Ethernet converter.

The static route, being on a different ip class, does not collide with that possibly configured on the Ethernet part as it is considered a secondary gateway not being on the same / 24 network.

See my procedure: ( How to connect Adalm Pluto to the Internet without using the USB / Ethernet adapter )

Roberto IS0GRB

OK Evariste i'm testing the insertion of the static route in the S40network file, via patch.zip, inserted via GUI (pluto.php) and / or with direct modification inside the Pluto to see if work correctly with a boot and after a reboot, the case $1 is different

Roberto IS0GRB

Hello Evariste, i'm looking for the best and least invasive method to make him load the static route.

Even putting it in the S40 script .. doesn't load it.

The best syntax would be:
route add default gw 192.168.2.10 usb0

so that the interface is specified without colliding with others.
I'll update you as soon as i've finished the tests.

My Pluto is asking pity for all these reboots
Have you done any tests with the static route?

Roberto IS0GRB

Hello Evariste, it seems that the Pluto on boot does not start the rcS .. scripts in the /etc/init.d directory.

Yet in /etc/inittab it is specified that it must execute /etc/init.d/rcS, in fact by manually executing rcS script it starts all the rcS scripts .. and also activates the static route.

The problem is this.

Runnng manually the rcS script:

# ./rcS

I'm trying to figure out what happens on boot

Hello Evariste, i'm working on some implementations on the pluto.php page that have been requested to make DATV operation easier by calling another php page that displays the WB spectrum on the iframe, and other useful things during operation and the possibility of clipping the spectrum to easily insert a camera with the Chromacam program.
I will update you on this.
I would like to ask if in the meantime you have done something about yesterday's errors on the firmware.
If you need to debug let me know or write me an email so that you can contact us by other faster ways

Hello Evariste, great job i did some tests and I saw that it works well.

I saw the change in /etc/init.d/S40network:

case "$ 1" in

start)

create_system_files

printf "Starting network:"

/ sbin / route add default gw 192.168.2.10 usb0

/ bin / hostname -F / etc / hostname

/ sbin / ifup -a 2> & 1 | logger

[$? = 0] && echo "OK" echo "FAIL"

;;

stop)

printf "Stopping network:"

/ sbin / ifdown -a

[$? = 0] && echo "OK" echo "FAIL"

;;

restart | reload)

"$ 0" stop

"$ 0" start

;;

*)

echo "Usage: $ 0 {start | stop | restart}"

exit 1

I would like to ask if we can implement h265 encoding with ffmpeg.
I saw that it is supported by a special library and it would be convenient to use it without the aid of an external box, what do you think?
See this site: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/H.265

Furthermore, an interesting thing that can be done is to insert in the pluto.php form the selection of the TCP and/or UDP port on which ffmpeg must listen.

At the moment, as you know, it leaves 3 ports listening rtmp 7272, 7373 and udp 8282, even if they are not used because maybe you are using UDP mode (Recording mode on OBS) or for direct and vice versa, in this way, however, the ffmpeg daemons occupy memory resources unnecessarily also decreasing the value of free CPU, in fact, from the tests made, even using the udp 8282 port the cpu drops to 40/50% and it is not possible to use the Pluto for example in reception at the same time because is intermittent due to the few resources of the cpu, which would help to spend less and use the same hardware also to receive, perhaps even with the excellent DVBS-GUI or with sdrconsole

For the other updates we feel and we can integrate other functions in the web part as previously mentioned.
