Movian

I'm going to take a guess and say that if you have it hooked to your router, you could allow it to control the MTU for the Pi.

I have options to control my Jumbo Frame settings and streaming from NAS to Pi worked very well.

I'm using open source firmware so it may vary for you from router to router but check the attached images.

My professional router AT-AR440S does manage MTU via DHCP on LAN.(option 26)

The problem is that ConnMan does not take this option from my DHCP server neither makes MTU discovery.

Would be nice to fix ConnMan in the manner all standard Linux systems work or make autostart.sh somewhere in persistent system or even on the FAT partition which executes before showtime.

I believe the best place for the script would be /tmp/stos/persistent/showtime/autostart.sh which is run after system startup but before showtime itself.

ConnMan's guys on IRC channel promised to fix MTU from DHCP issue today.

Anyway the autostart.sh is still desired.

Cool, i read the scrollback (i'm also in #connman but not saying much)

Yeah, I agree, I'll try to add something

Good news for you my friend!

In latest stos (2.3.7) (You will get it if you upgrade Movian to 4.99.808) it will run a script during boot (Just before Movian starts)

Example:

# cat /stos/persistent/scripts/boot.sh 
#!/bin/sh
sleep 3
ifconfig eth0 mtu 1460

Will result in:

# ifconfig eth0|grep MTU
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1460  Metric:1

Remember that the script must be executable: chmod 755 boot.sh

Also I added a sleep in the script when testing it because the splash screen will show "Running boot script" while executing the script, and if the script is too quick the text will just flicker by. Maybe the sleep is needed also depending on how fast connman sets up the interface. I'm not sure TBH, but this should get you started.

Thanks a lot!
It is working without any delay/sleep.

To run something on boot is really useful thing not only to setup networking interfaces but usually for the most workarounds.
For example on KODI I setup timeservers when there was a bug in it.
Timerserver is also a very big issue because RPI does not have RTC.

Now I quit from KODI after found Movian for RPI but there is still some cool things to get from KODI to implement on Movian.
For Example setting up Display during Playback via XML templates:
Each template consists of what to show and where in different modes like in Movian: Standard, Enter, F2, F4, F6
I configured there in "Standard mode" to show clock() in the upper right corner always because my wife required it.
Hope one day it will arrive to Movian...

auto startup script can some one make on for rpi static ip please

should be something like this:
connmanctl services
(write down your interface's name) = "IF" (something like ethernet_b827eb3110d9_cable)

vi /tmp/stos/persistent/scripts/boot.sh
Press "i" and type
#!/bin/sh
connmanctl service config "IF" --ipv4 manual <address> <netmask> <gateway> --nameservers <dns1> [<dns2>] [<dns3>]
Press "Esc":wq
chmod a+x /tmp/stos/persistent/scripts/boot.sh

I did not test this

thanks for the replay...

but i cant login via ftp to rpi anymore i use a my pass and username with filezila on mac os x

the only path i can access is a folder with this file README.txt

This is Movian's exported file system

Items on home screen and in 'Local network' that contain files and
folders will appear here

by ssh with root - showtime
i have no script folder on persistent folder do i have to create one?

yes, create scripts folder in persistent

Seems the MTU from DHCP has been added to connman.

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/network/connman/connman.git/commit/?id=30396c035dc82ca3160e0f8e4d5feafef2d17bfc

This commit made it into connman 1.32

I will upgrade STOS and make some tests

Here is a new rootfs with connman 1.32: https://movian.tv/static/rootfs-with-connman-1.32.sqfs

Dmitry, please download this and replace rootfs.sqfs on the FAT partition (/boot) on your rpi and test, see if it fixes your MTU problems without you needing your script.

Thanks,
Andreas

I confirm it is working on Eth as well as on Wi-Fi.

Thanks. God bless us.

I forgot to tell.
Please do not remove boot.sh capability!
It is very useful for other things.

Thanks!

Yes, I agree. It will stay.
