    Hehe, manufacturers should be very well aware of the requirements at the very moment they decide to sell E2-compatible boxes.
    And apart from knowing; it's easy enough for themselves to test. Which is what they (should) do before any driver release.

    But how, if it isn't documented anywhere? Guess work?

    In order to test something you need to have requirements. Someone should know what these are.

    You really should ask manufactures about that. They are the ones who find a good (selling) cause for making boxes E2-compatible.
    If they can't, for whatever what reason, they should refrain from doing that.

    But I can't, as I have no idea who the manufacturer is. All I know is that the vendor is WoS (and in Europe, I only need to deal with the vendor). So I'm asking them via the only means available. and getting nowhere.
    And even if I did know who the vendor is, I wouldn't know what to ask them, as there appears o be no information as to what the FP should be doing anyway.

    So simply believe us, when we say things need to be fixed in drivers. And the only one who can do that, is the manufacturer.
    And as he's the one who gains money out of selling E2-compatible boxes, don't let his worries become yours

    But I agree with you that technical and user information about boxes is rather scarce.

    ...who can't/won't do it unless the problem is reported to them!!!

    But that's no guarantee for success

    So I could possibly help here, by finding out what the problem is (as I actually have the box to test on). Except that I can't find out what the FP should be doing, as no-one seems to able to say what that is - they only say that it behaves differently to what the code seems to expect.
    Also, since the kernel is GPL'ed, and the module is distributed with the kernel, shouldn't the source code be available from the manufacturer somewhere?

    So if I get you right here. You want the record icon to display while in standby mode to show it is recording without pressing the power on button on the remote. so the record icon displays with the date and time.

    When the Miracleboxes or shipped from the manufacturers they are shipped with the OpenMB image which the frontpanel works correctly. Changing the image to other image sources will always create problems,

    Vix do a really good job here, but as you know the image is changed very offer because all the box manufacturers don't sing of the same hymn sheet.

    There will always be some bug somewhere what don't run on some boxes thats the point of the updates to try and keep everyone happy, but not that easy when your trying to update 6 to 7 different manufacturers.

    The very same problem with computer motherboard manufacturers and windows and linux software never can win unless they all work together which won't happen cause its all competition.

    That's what I'd *like*, yes.
    However - I can't find the code that sets the clock display on, and have this sneeking suspicion that it's in a totally different mode by then (as the network icon is switched off too - and that is being updated every 30s otherwise).

    I hit another issue today - the record icon was on when manually starting up from Deep Standby. That was easy to fix - it can't be recoding anything at his point, so I just put a script at the end of rcS.d to echo 0 into symbol_circle.

    Yes it will be in another pyo file as its a call from the remote to put the box into standby.

    Time for me to start a thorough () browsing of the source code, then.
    But your changes (whatever they were - I now have to find a Python decompiler...) have improved things - for me, at least.

    It was one of the little things from the Toppy I missed A quick look at the front panel now tells me the box is on because it is recording.
