[Release] Philips 5982 Modded Firmware v0.4

[phoang]

I know many of you have waited for a modded firmware for the Philips 5982, so here it is. Its from a Brazillian guy by the name Ryan Jefferson. Portuguese is not my native language, so sorry for the rough translation.

Main features of this firmware is 40 character filename and great subtitle support.

Same as above but with USB Long Filename and NO HDMI

Looking for this firmware for USB long filenames, the links don't work.

Thanks

Those links did work only 2-3 weeks ago...

In any case try:

USB Long Name, NO HDMI

Simply Modded, HDMI intact:

Yes, its possible with MtkReplacer. Though the backgrounds have to converted to .mpg format using tmpgenc or something similar.

This mod is great! Thank you. Would it be possible to provide a more detailed explanation of how to replace the On-Screen Display images using these tools?

Thanks

Ryan's firmware is great! It was a sorely lacking feature to be unable to access a DIVX by time.

I did encounter one bug: As I was navigating the setup menus, in the subtitle font selection, the DVD player suffered a hard crash: multicolor random pixels on the screen and the LED panel was showing star-like (all segments on). I disconnected the power cord to reset it (came back normally).

Note: I did not 'reset to factory settings' after flashing the firmware. This may be why it crashed.

I just ran across this thread. The GOTO function was SO badly needed, especially given the extremely slow FF from USB.

* WordWrap + Reformat for subtitles

I couldn't find a setting for the word wrap. Its seems that they do NOT wrap. Someone mentioned the 'flashing' subtitles, but if you play with the font color/size this works itself out, or at least it did for me.

* The arrows on the browser were replaced by a scroll bar

The arrows were better.

* New menu called: "DVD Quick Play" in Setup

Didn't see it. It would be nice to have, especially on Disney movies [I have kids].
