Easy way to enable Samba server, Mldonkey, Gmedia Server and SSH at bootup.
Samba Server : Provides file services to all manner of SMB/CIFS clients, including the numerous versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems.
Mldonkey : The p2p client for Linux/Unix/Windows
Gmedia server : GMediaServer serves audio and video files to certain network connected media players.
SSH : Secure Shell or SSH is a network protocol that allows data to be exchanged using a secure channel between two computers.
Samba image
Steps :
1. Unzip downloaded files to ME1's FAT32 partition through USB connection. [Make sure there are 4GB space available]
2. Disconnect USB connection and boot up ME1, make sure time is set at present and LAN is connected.
3. In Windows, go to the Start menu, select Run,at the command line type "telnet 192.168.0.101" [Assume ME1's IP address is 192.168.0.101]
4. Venus login : root [Type "root" for login]5. /# /usr/local/etc/hdd/volumes/HDD1/first [ME1 will reboot and all applications will be enabled at bootup}
Note :
Default login ID and PW
SSH : root & 1234
Mldonkey : admin and 1234
1. After Samba server is active, type "file://x.x.x.x/" to access ME1' FAT32 partition.
2. BT download is disabled in Mldonkey by default, you would need to enable it first, type "http://x.x.x.x:4080/ to access Mldonkey
3. If you need Samba server only while boot up ME1, rename or delete .SH in service foler for each service.
4. The image is tested with F/W version 1.08

Setup ME1 as a BT downloader
Note : There is an upate post which let you set ME1 as BT downloader, Samba Server, GMedia Server and SSH with couple steps only.
http://emprex-me1.blogspot.com/2008/06/easy-way-to-enable-samba-server.html
There are people out there are trying to build more APs for ME1, I think BT downloader and Samba Server are the most useful. This post is base on their contributions to help more users easier to build APs.
It's quiet easy to setup ME1 as BT downloader, the performacnec is considering good and power saving. After BT download you could just play it back directly by ME1, no need to transfer file. And even better part is that you can copy files over LAN, not just steaming. Have ever, there are risks, for example ME1 might won't boot up again and you would need to remove all partitions and re-initial hard disk again, all data will be lost.
You could download Debian 1.0 from bellow link, it would require to unzip .gz under Linux :
Part1: http://www.uploading.com/files/9VWJTFII/bcm47xx_debian_v1.0.part1.exe.html
Part2: http://www.uploading.com/files/DZX1G806/bcm47xx_debian_v1.0.part2.rar.html

Or you could download Ext2 from

{There are 11 rar files}{The provided image will create 4G space, you could create your own if needed and know how to.}
I find the easiest way is to download Ext2 and follow the bellow processes. Here are the steps :

Disconnect USB connection and boot up ME1, make sure time is set at present and LAN is connected.
In Windows, go to the Start menu, select Run,at the command line, type "telnet 192.168.1.3" {Assume ME1's IP address is 192.168.1.3}

sh-3.1# /etc/init.d/mldonkey-server start
{If MLdonkey doesn't work, you can check /var/lib/mldonkey/mlnet.log for detail message}
Now you could use IE and type "http://x.x.x.x:4080/ (x.x.x.x is ME1's IP address)click Servers -> Import Server.met ( use google find sever.met and copy and paste link adress )

Initializing the HDD
HDD must set as MASTER mode to avoid unpredictable problem.
Timeshift Buffer takes 4GB per hour and max. 4Hrs, recording quality is fixed at HQ mode.
There are 5 recording quality modes for vidoe in, here is approximate space takes :
HQ mode = 71MB/min
SP = 36MB/min
LP = 25MB/min
EP = 18MB/min
SLP = 13MB/min
The min. space is 10% of rest capacity.
Besides Timeshift buffer and recording space, others will be formatted as FAT32 format for media storag which can be accessed by PC througth USB connection.

Which video converter are you using ? Why ?
I downloaded some videos from internet, but it's RMVB format which can't playback by ME1. So I used WinAVI to trasncode it to AVI for playback. I'm wondering what is the most popular, best quality and free transcoder are available.
Please give your opinion which is the best video converter for you, and why you think it is the best.
