Q. Do Amino STBs support IGMPv3?
The x4x STBs can support either IGMPv2 or IGMPv3 (limited).
ALL v3 devices will drop back to v2 if they see a v2 message (the entire network will fall back to the lowest
common level) and we have seen compatibility issues when sending v3 messages on a v2 network.
By default the STBs are configured to use v2 to get over the issues seen above. You can override the default
and raise the version to v3 using the command
libconfig-set IGMP_MAX_VER 3
Q. How do you set the current date and time in the system?
The time can be set in several ways depending on your requirements:
By default the STB will get the time information from the DHCP server it connects to. You can point the STB to
a time server using the STB management pages. See Network on page 88.
If you have telnet or console access to the STB you can set it manually at the command line (not normally
required). See TIME_SERVER.
Q. Is there a way to modify the graphics that appear when upgrading?
You can replace these graphics with your own but you must follow certain guidelines. See Replacing the
default graphics with your own on page 68.
Q. The STB now shows a graphic while the kernel is loading. Is this graphic configurable?
No, this graphic is the bootloader graphic and cannot be configured because it is in a proprietary format.
However, we can create a bootloader graphic based on a graphic that you provide, but it must meet the
following conditions:
• a gif at the lowest resolution that will provide an acceptable graphic
• a minimum amount of colours
• no animations
• a black background rather than transparency.
When you design or provide the graphic, note that it will be displayed centred against a black background.
Q. Can I rotate the video plane as well as the graphics plane?
No, only the graphics plane can be rotated.
Q. How do I enable or disable cookies?
Cookies can be enabled or disabled by using the BROWSER_ENABLECOOKIES setting.
Q. How do I enable subtitles?
Subtitles or closed captions can be enabled by using the ENABLE_SUBS_OR_CC setting. Alternatively, if you
are using the 'Willow' remote control unit, you can go into the management pages and enable SUBS/CC by
pressing the menu key, clicking on "Subtitles/CC" and then clicking enable.
