    Anything is possible with PLi

    but up to you on how you want to do it /var/etc/software.xml file is a good place to start looking. make sure you make a backup before you change it..

    It is all outlined in the open-pli opensource repo PLi release to the world ...

    so you are talking about the "software update" option within "System Settings" of the blue button
    not sure where you can change that one
    did you want to do one box .. or alter settings on a whole bunch to point at your custom image ?
    can you confirm it is a 500 you want to do this for

    yep its dm500.

    i want create a custom image that points to one my servers for image updates. this way i can just ask my clients to press update when new releases are available.

    Of course i am not talking about card sharing here. Lets say if a new image that can do iptv is available, then ill just customize--> upload to server--> ask my clients to update.. Also, when they update it will delete their card sharing settings,if they have it running.

    a quick search through /var/etc/software.xml reveiled........

    Code:
    <directory name="Software Management Jade (16 Nov)" xmlns="urn:http://downloads.pli-images.org/ppanel/schemas/ppanel_v1.0.xsd">
    <!-- DM500 Jade -->
    <update url="http://downloads.pli-images.org/#RELEASE#/xml/dm500/software.tar.gz" target="/"/>
    right at the top.

    Seems this could be the place to start to edit????

    I understand the functionality you need
    if you had a whole bunch of 500's and wanted to customise once and provide to all your boxes at button push it could save time

    in the image IP set-ups could cause network issues unless you left them at dhcp

    were you going to build the image with openpli yourself because you would have to make an .img file inside the /tar.gz file so you probably couldnt use flash wizard to make the backup image

    Have you thought about writing a ppanel and/or script which wget the image into /tmp then manual install two step process ... that part would be easy enough ..

    other than that its probably a question best asked in the pli forum
    although they mightnt like the idea of hijacking their normal image update functionality

    I think that is the location to update the software.xml - different to what is required here

    another thought what about write simple wget script to check for and download new image from your site into /tmp directory
    then include a cron job in the image to run it every night - then manual install would be ready to go any time one is there (as long as they dont turn off box which wipes out /tmp directory)
