1. Introduction

Congratulations that you already have or that you are thinking about giving your Internet

Radio and TV player a second life. With the ListenLive firmware you have access to TV

channels, Radio stations, Podcasts and Vodcasts from all over the world via an internet

connection.

This firmware is a replacement of the firmware that is originally installed on your device.

The original firmware lacks many features and has various bugs. It also connects to a

server in China that is not always up-to-date and there is no way to influence the

contents of this server. Most importantly you should also know about the killer bug aka

time bomb. This time bomb appears to randomly create bad blocks in the flash memory.

Bad blocks on free space are not causing problems, but since these blocks are randomly

created it is possible that a critical block is damaged and that the device does not start

up anymore. Besides this troubling fact, this firmware was created because the

manufacturer did not want to fix the bugs and improve the firmware on our devices.

They rather sell new devices than keep people who already bought the hardware happy.

This firmware makes use of the ListenLive database that is available at

http://www.listenlive.nl To get the most out of your device and this firmware you should

register an account on the ListenLive server.

The ListenLive server, database, firmware development project and anything related to it

is not linked to any commercial party! This means that it is a private project. There is no

large company behind it. Everything is paid by the people involved.

To maximize your enjoyment of the ListenLive firmware, please read this manual

carefully – it contains important information on how to use your device effectively.

Please keep this manual for future reference.

3.2 Understanding the Controls on the Remote Control

There are a number of different remote control models. After a fresh installation, the

ListenLive firmware will start in compatibility mode. This means that only the most

important buttons are functional. Section 4.3 explains how to let the firmware detect

your remote control model.

As you can see, the standard remote control has less buttons than the extended model.

Therefore some functions are not available on the standard remote.

Standard Remote Control Extended Remote Control POWER Turn device on/off

(long press = forced power down) MUTE Turn volume on/off HOME Return to the main menu UP/DOWN Navigation & Vol+ and - LEFT/RIGHT Navigation & Track+ and - OK Confirm selection & Play all files in directory RETURN/EXIT Leave screen / stop playing STOP Stop playing PGUP Screen brightness + PGDN Screen brightness - PAUSE/PLAY Pause from playing &

It is possible to use other remote controls like a Logitech Harmony.

In this case the Logitech Harmony has to be programmed as a Centrios KW 1315117.

Once done, navigate with the device buttons to the settings screen, [remote control

settings] and select [Remote Control model] the screen then waits for you to press the

[Mute] button. Once you press mute it should detect the Penbex or Harmony remote and

map the buttons correctly. (See 4.2.2)



First time use 4

4.1 Start Menu

After plugging in your device, press the POWER button on the unit to turn it on. After

the logo page which is shown when the operating system loads, you will be brought to

the main menu as seen below. Use the directional buttons to select the various

applications. Press OK/ENTER to go to the application you want.

4.2 Setting up the device the first time

In order to make optimal use of the ListenLive firmware, you should follow the following

steps.

4.2.1 Connect to the Internet through Wi-Fi

Note: You will need access to a functioning wireless network in order to use this feature.

First make sure that the WIFI device is

enabled on the device. Select Settings >

Network Settings and check if active

network is set to WIFI.

(Throughout this document the ‘>’ indicates

options leading to further menus.)

If not select the line with Active network

device and press OK/ENTER. to activate

the WIFI adapter.

I n case you want to use the device on

battery power and you do not need WIFI

access, you can disable the WIFI adapter to

save battery power.



When you are sure that the WIFI adapter is activated, Select Settings > Network

Settings > Wi-Fi Setup > Auto Search.

The Auto Search system will automatically search all available Wi-Fi networks within

range. Once the available networks are found, these will be listed.

Two types of network: Encrypted network: Show a “lock” icon and a password is required for access to the

network. Unencrypted network: There’s no “lock” icon and a password is not required for

access to the network.

Use the directional buttons on your remote control or unit to select a network and press

OK/ENTER to connect. The device will automatically connect if an unencrypted network

is selected. If an encrypted network is selected, you will be prompted to enter the

password (assigned by the administrator of the network). Use the directional buttons,

and OK/ENTER on the remote control or the unit to enter the password and select OK

on the on screen keyboard to connect.

If the system is successfully connected to the selected network, a notification will show

“Wi-Fi Connected Successfully”; otherwise “Wi-Fi Password Invalid” will appear. Please

ensure you selected the correct network, and have the correct password, and try again.

If a “Wi-Fi Not Connected” notification appears, please try to connect again.

If you are sure everything was entered correctly but you still get the “not connected”

notification, power down the device and restart. Sometimes this helps to clear all settings

and make a proper connection.

Note: This firmware supports 2 protocols: Static IP, DHCP. DHCP is the default protocol

to be used by the system automatically. Please verify your network settings and confirm

which protocol is being used – you will need to manually connect your unit to the

network if Static IP is in use.



4.2.2 Remote control selection

Under settings, select “Remote control settings” to select the correct remote control

model. Follow the steps as shown below.

When you get at screen number 3 you have to press the [MUTE] button on your remote

control. This will tell the firmware what remote control model you are using.

4.2.3 Setting up a ListenLive MyFavorites account

Before you can use the favorites function, you need to register an account on

www.listenlive.nl also you will need to assign a pincode to this account. (check

usersetting on the website) Once you have this you are ready to setup your firmware for

MyFavorites.

Under settings go to “MyFavorites user

account” and press OK/ENTER.

You will now see a list of usernames.

Navigate to your username and press

OK/ENTER to select it.

Next navigate to “Set Listenlive Pincode“

and enter the same pincode as you entered

on the www.listenlive.nl server.

You are now ready to make optimal use of

the MyFavorites application and storing

favorites from the device as well as from the

website.





4.2.4 Selecting a language

Press UP/DOWN on the main unit or remote control to choose a language, and press

OK/ENTER to confirm the language selection. The change will take effect immediately.

When you change, the Listenlive server is also checked to see if an updated language file

is available. If there is, then the file will be downloaded and used immediately. This

ensures you that you always have the latest language changes and fixes.

Note: you are welcome to report mistakes in the language files on the Listenlive forum.

Contact the administrator when you want to add a language that is not supported yet.

4.2.5 Taskbar

status icons.

From left to right the icons have the following meaning:
