Popular Post JuanDG Posted April 6, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 6, 2018 Another satisfied customer of the Sony BDP-S590! Bought it used off of eBay for ~$40 with shipping. Arrived next day Infinite thanks to @Dick Darlington @ted_b @Phthalocyanine for their detailed posts. Word of caution on the Firmware version! My unit came with version M12.R.03xx (forgot to write down the exact number) and I saw @Phthalocyanine recommendation to not upgrade it, so I started following all the instructions with no success. I tinkered for several hours and was about to give up but decided to update the firmware to the latest (M12.R.0510) and that's when everything magically started to work. I'm using a Mac and a cheapo EMTEC 8GB flash drive. The trick for formatting the flash drive on MacOS is to use the Terminal to wipe it clean first. Plug-in the flash drive, open terminal and type `diskutil list` and write down the path of the usb drive, for instance /dev/disk3. Then wipe it by typing `diskutil eraseDisk FREE TEST /dev/<your disk path>` on the terminal. After that you can go back to Disk Utility and click on `Erase` and the option to set it as Master Boot will be present again. After that I simply copied the AutoScript folder linked by @Dick Darlington and modified AutoScript and Autoscript.TSS to use `telnetd` instead of `inetd` and dropped in sacd_extract_160 on the folder as well. Then I plugged the flash drive to the S590 before turning it on as suggested by @kennyb123 and after a few seconds of booting I finally got the 0000 flashing on the LCD screen (success!). Then I opened the tray manually inserted my first SACD, navigated to `Music Settings` on the S590 and toggled the SACD playback channel option as indicated by @Phthalocyanine and I was ready to go. Went back to the Terminal, installed telnet using Homebrew (brew install telnet) and followed @ted_b original instructions for telnet: $ telnet 10.0.1.40 Trying 10.0.1.40... Connected to 10.0.1.40. Escape character is '^]'. sony-player login: root ~ # uname -a Linux sony-player 2.6.35 #1 PREEMPT Fri Nov 7 15:30:16 JST 2014 armv6l GNU/Linux ~ # cd /mnt/sda1/AutoScript /mnt/sda1/AutoScript # ls AutoScript AutoScript.TSS sacd_extract_160 /mnt/sda1/AutoScript # ./sacd_extract_160 -S & SACD Daemon 0.37 active. Client none. SACD disc inserted. Finally I fired up ISO2DSD on the Mac, typed the player's IP address and hit Execute. That's it! My biggest struggle as I mentioned was being on older firmware, as soon as I updated, everything went really smooth. Hope this helps other people on this journey. Feel free to ask any questions and thanks again to this amazing community. Les Habitants and kennyb123 1 1 Link to comment
