iLO macrovision and 3-hour hacks

Now if only someone would supply the 1097 firmware to be hacked.
If you upgraded to the 1095, you can NOT flash the hacked 1095 firmware.

" I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BREAK YOUR UNIT!!!"

Why not ?

I just flashed mine with the hacked 1095 and can confirm I now have a 3 hr mode!! Have not tried the macrovision test yet.

There's a 1097 hacked 3hr and macrovision at the site now.

1097 Hacked
Filename: WMEA1097.E20

Use at your own risk.
Hacked to include 3-hour mode and disable Macrovision

Which version should I try? I have already done the 1095 (non hacked) firmware.

Has anyone tried this an it works?

@telemike: you'll need the 1097 hacked firmware, then. I updated mine earlier, and it seems to work flawlessly.

What exactly is jitter?

Usually up-and-down jitter on some LiteOn units once hacked. Does this do it too?

I don't have the Ilo recorder so I can't answer your question.

I know the dictionary definition of jitter. I just wanted to know exactly what it means in terms of video, and what causes it. Field order wrong? 1 pixel vertical shaking on sharp horizontal edges because of interlace? From your description it doesn't sound like either of those.

Easy to check. Record one of the news channels with text scrolling horz. Its a binary item. Will or wont. Also good to check lipsync.

If this messes up can you reload a "non-fixed copy"?

Anyone have this working on the hard disk version yet?

So this hack willwork for the ilo DVDR04

Just did the 97+extra patch. Not bad. 3 hour is 1/2 screen like EP but more bits.

Thanks for the sample Smurf. It looks like, every now and then, a field was dropped and the previous field was duplicated to fill in. When a bottom field is dropped the picture jumps down a line, when a top field is dropped it jumps up a line. So basically, it's dropping fields (about 1 in 7?) rather than frames. Interesting.

I upgraded my LiteOn 5001 with new 1176 firmware(LNEA1176.DSU.upd.once). Then I tried to load the hacked 1176 and it would not load.

Now I found the solution:

1. Download the 1176 system file from http://www.liteonit.com/DC/english/images/zip/FW_5001_5006/LNEA1176.DSU.0101.014x.rar

2. Apply the above hacks. (Notice:the values will be different, but rules are the same.) This hacked file will load and add macrovision and LP.

Not real helpful. Any way to provide a final file? Or a list of the values?
And how does it handle the infamous 5001 jitter?

Just noticed the file from the link I gave had been changed. The newer version does not work. The older version I downloaded last month did work. I can e-mail you the final files, if you want. Just let me know.

edit: The current version does work. You just have to load the unhacked firmware first before loading the hacked version.
