Thank you!

My scripting skills aren't quite that advanced yet. I'll do some testing tomorrow and update the first post.

Thanks a bunch guys it seems it was the spaces in the directory name (filename was OK). I 've tried the old script after renaming the dir and worked like a charm.

I will give the new script a go (Cheers ender :-) )

The new script works just fine.

With your permission guys I am attaching the convertlit.zip file where I have replaced the original script with the one provided by ender.

Adam, Ender thanks again.

Yes, it works now! It was in the directory clive cussler, so the space in the directory killed the script.
Now, I accidentally clicked on the .lit again, and it extracted again, doubled the dir size. Maybe a good idea to have the script check if the extracted files already exist? :-)
Thanks and great util!

I have installed the new script and my Iliad don`t start. What can I do?. I`m afraid my Iliad is k.o.
thanks

What happens when you try to start your iLiad?

mac · 10-29-2007, 06:24 PM

You can see the photos, It start like always, but then it stoped (all screen dark except the comand line) and the led is flashing . Only can reset it.

That's odd. I can't imagine why the contentlister isn't starting.

You have firmware 2.11 correct? You should be able to reflash it yourself with a compact flash card.

mac · 10-30-2007, 01:44 AM

Yes 2.11 and I have a compact flash I don´t know reflashing. Can you help me ? .Thanks

tribble · 10-30-2007, 02:34 AM

get the reflash image from here: https://myirex.irexnet.com/user.php/attachments
Then unpack the ZIP file to your flash card (it needs to be fat32 formatted)
Then hold down the connect button (round button) while you are switching on the iLiad and keep it pressed for quite some time.
The iLiad should then boot from the CF card and reflash the device.

Only half solution. I have reflashed my Iliad and then I recovery but is v2.10.Well when I try to update I have the problem again. I think that there is some program that run in the boot sequence and it look the version if this is 2.11 and then...
After reflash I don´t have shell access.
Any sugesstions?
Maybe I must wait v2.12

Many thanks

When you do the recovery, backup all of your document that are on the internal memory, and use the "format" option in the config.txt. It could be corruption on the internal file system. A format may solve it.

Thanks a lot Adam and Tribble, at last all it´s o.k.

With 2.12 I get mismatch of firmware message. Will there be an update of convertlit soon?
