THERE IS NO BRANDING/BOOT LOGO ON MY CUSTOM FIRMWARES.

For Samba support only CIFS manager or mount manager is necessary.
Download from market: and install.
Open Cifs manager and click menu then set your configuration:

Share path: IP adress of your network share
Mount Point : Where you want to mount this share.
Login Credientals : Type Username and password if necessary.
Save Share, your Network share will be available in list, select and mount.

Thats it.

UPDATING THIS ROM IS OWN RISK.

Hello. I have a question for people with the Rockchip RK2918 based TV box.

I have a different Rockchip RK2918 device and I'm having trouble with hardware accelerated video decoding for network streams. Primarily RTMP streams are very choppy because its using software decode. Can someone please test some RTMP streams and let me know if they are using hardware decode with this latest firmware? Here are some you can try:

rtmp://russiatoday.fms.visionip.tv/rt/Russia_al_yaum_1000k_1/1000k_1.flv
rtmp://stream2.france24.yacast.net:80/france24_live/frda/f24_livefrda

Just use those links as "network streams" in MX Player or BS Player and see if they play smoothly using hardware acceleration.

Thanks for your help.

Hello,
I'm not sure but I suppose Flashplayer 11 is necessary for hardware acceleration for flash videos which is not supported by RK2918.
These devices supports up to FlashPlayer 10.3, you can install Flash Player 11 but you can't use, it is interesting but a fact.

This is a modificated firmware for NAS and Samba support, and a few little changes but there is no FP11 support. ( Because of firmware self )

I hope this will help.
Regards.
