Jack-FrostodonInteresting. It looks like the #VictorReaderStream3 has individual applets now for each bookshelf category, with each one being called upon on demand rather than loaded immediately. I wouldn't be surprised if that's a setup for expansion modules in the future. Good design decision if so.
@jackf723 how'd you figure that out?
@munchkinbear Two things. Firstly the long load time when loading an online bookshelf for the first time. Second, in rare occasions when switching the playlist region, the thing falls over and dies with the following mesage: Internet radio, stopped, restarting application, internet radio. The first thing tipped me off to the possibility, the second is a dead giveaway.
@jackf723 Most of my stuffs in offline mode, lol. So I haven't seen that. yet. but I'm' gonna play with things like podcasts, etc. soon, the upgrade in april should be interesting to see.
@munchkinbear I'm pretty sure those system-level messages will probably reverb to the bog standard system error codes come April as well, not to mention a speed increase. Fat32 sd cards are subject to refreshing bookshelf content, but that's what happens when the Transcend 1tb card you ordered takes ages to arrive.
@jackf723 I have a 512GB xfat formatted sandisk card, and it still does refreshing bookshelf with me and my over 1800 NLS books, lol.
@jackf723 I have the Transcend 1tb on my saved for later list, but that's because I had to dump $390 into a flight in April. So priorities, work before play, and all that.
@munchkinbear It might go back on discount for World Backup Day anyway. That is as long as Sandisk doesn't steal all the advertising bandwidth lol!
@jackf723 rofl, true, It's on my saved for later so it shold squalk at me if it goes down
@munchkinbear Looks like downloaded podcast episodes aren't stored in the $vrpodcasts internal folder, so they must be on a different partition or hidden from view.
@jackf723 they might be in $vrpodcasts on the SD card?
@munchkinbear Nope, because this is without an sd card in the player. Internal memory/$vrpodcasts is empty.
@jackf723 strange!
@munchkinbear Wonder where else it would have the presence of mind to save to. I know on the stream2 card, the internal memory partition was the only fat partition on the card, and everything was saved there.
@doodit They're using the SBABIC SWUpdate framework in this iteration. Try unzipping the latest file. The files are encrypted (frootfs.ext2.gz in particular) but SWDescription - the only unencrypted file in the folder - has the sha256 checksums as well as the IVT's for each file, which must all lead to the master key.
@doodit If the new Stream's design is indeed as moudlar as it lets on, whether it's Android or not, that could open up a range of interesting possibilities, NAS support being one of them.
Then again I always thought the Daisy consortium ought to release a self-hosted Daisy online server implementation that can run on a NAS. The stream could then access and download an institution's accessible material on demand rather than waiting on someone to find it.
