SSH on the Prime 4

[lerk]

Okay, logical points are empty, now we get to analyzing bios and ranting about that? Is there a low you won’t go to mr “just sell it if you dont like it”/ home dj only?

So you’re comparing changing a desktop wallpaper to being given SSH tunnel access to alter firmware on a piece of hardware?

Yes. Because to me SSH acceess is way more essential than having a background image. Most computers I use only have SSH and no desktop at all

@STU-C

What exactly are you wanting to ‘fix’?

For example (not that it’s any of your business) I want to fix the connection issues between the x1850 and sc6000 because I’ve written support multiple times and it seems like some sort of handshake issue to me. Plus I want to collect performance metrics from the sc6000s which isn’t possible currently but would be relatively easy with shell access.

And the LEDs/Buttons, maybe you have already seen my Thread here:

Customize layer colors to whatever you want!

Hi, I just found out that the EngineLibrary/user.profile file contains the player and layer colors as hex values. It’s a bit like reversed Android Hex color codes, where the first two chars are for transparency (and are ff/255 by default) and the other six for colors, in the same rrggbb format that is also used in CSS. This allows for editing the file by hand and changing the hex values to whatever you like. For example, here is proper purple and teal: [SC6000 Purple/Teal] But …

Imagine having shell access and being able to turn off the blinkenlights completely? Maybe even change some colors (where multicolor LEDs are placed)?

@STU-C

what makes you think you can do a better job than the in house engineers employed by the company?

It’s not about a better job, it’s about doing anything at all. All the issues that I care about and voted for are wontfixes.
