Dunno what happened to his ACC, so here it is again, just in case...
A "slightly" improved "Readme"... by yours truly... :D
ACC - AZBox Control Center
v.1.0
As the name says, all or almost all of the tools needed for AzBox HD are now unified in one application.
The application [App in further text] is divided into few logical units/"tabs", so let's explain them a
little, one by one...
*Connection
This is the last Tab in my App, but the first one to pop-up, when one starts the ACC App.
Here you can create various "Profiles" (just in case you own more than one AZbox HD receiver). Each can have
a different name, IP address or a different DynDNS, its own password etc. You can also edit the Telnet and
FTP connection ports, as well as the method of connection (active or passive). Also, a method of File transfer:
Binary or ASCII. One also has "Command prompt" function.
On the right hand-side one can choose one's language, which is associated with a country flag. Currently
the App supports English, Serbo-Croat, Portuguese and Spanish language.
(If You want to translate the Language file to another language, please contact me.)
*Telnet
I implemented it fully. Moreover, below it you will find a set of pre-defined, most commonly used commands.
*FTP
File Transfer Protocol Client, more or less the same as any other FTP client. From a drop-down menu one can
enable or disable a toolbar and the settings will be saved, next time you want to use it.
Additional commands, like Chanel Attributes for CHMOD permissions etc. are available when one uses the mouse
"right click" function. One also has the file editor included.
*Mini RC
A small remote control unit [RCU] for AZbox HD, with all the most basic commands present.
Each command takes a second or two, in order to get the AZbox HD OSD on your PC screen.
Available commands: "Get OSD", "Get Scr", under which there are also SD and HD versions [they are the same but
it takes longer to save the HD photo, which one can save to one's PC by right clicking on them].
Depending on the channel provider, one can save the image in a format one sees on the screen or in its original
format.
"Get Scr" button functions only if one has a USB HDD or USB memory stick plugged into AZbox HD, because these
images are saved to the external device, so if one is not present - AZbox HD cannot save them.
*Photo tool
AZBox HD supports images up to 1080, i.e. ~2MPixels. If one tries to read a bigger image it won't work.
"Photo Tool" will make those images visible more or less automatically.
"Drag'n'Drop Here!" Simply D'n'D the images you want adjusted. Typically, open them via the Add File(s) function.
To delete an image double click on it and it will be erased. To erase the whole list use the CLEAR function.
"Convert": before you start converting, from the left side choose whether you want...
-the ratio 4:3 respected or
-if you want to add dark space around, if it is converted to the 16:9 size/format [the sizes available are:
1080, 720 ili 576]
-if you want to name an image, check the "Watermark" function and below the image write whatever you want
-choose a location where to save the edited images [click on Refresh List of Devices and below it you will
see possible locations to save them to, like a list of USB devices, where an ACC_PhotoResized folder will
be created].
As you convert them, they will be added automatically to the right side list, below "Converted Pictures".

*Tools-1
Having clicked on Get AZBox Status one gets the information about the AZbox HD model, which tuner[s] are
installed in it and how much free space is left in your partitions.
If you click on "Update list" you will get the latest official and unofficial FW. I am planning to
flash/programme AZbox HD automatically, by a single click.
In "Download & Install: PLUGINS & CAMD" one needs to click on a support server, on your left. You get
the information as to what this server holds for you. Choose whatever you want to install to your AZBox HD
by a single click on it, confirm it, if you are sure, then [provided you are connected to your AZbox HD]
simply wait a few moments for the installation to finish. :)
*Tools-2
"Backup/Restore": a single click backup of your AZBox HD is performed. One can return them to AZbox HD,
individually, of course, whatever one needs, i.e. Plugins, a Ch. List, RSS feeds and a Browser file.
"Front Panel" - switching LED on/off and sending text messages to the display is performed.
"Startup Scripts": pre-defined 5 scripts are available, in case you have an HDD or USB memory stick connected
to your AZbox HD, so one would easily find them, as they [movies, music, pictures] will now be tied to
the folders with those names.
"Samba - Auto start": activates "samba", a few seconds after the AZbox HD reboots. Before that, one needs
to add username and password in the AZBox HD Menu, of course.
Fifth Script is predefined for linking ACC_PhotoResized folder from USB to "local".
There are 4 boxes to insert your own scripts, as you need them. Once you write and select them, click on
"Generate Script" and a startup script will be generated and installed into your AZbox HD. After a reboot
they will be automatically executed.
"Change Link for Update": having chosen "Official FW" or "Daily FW", after clicking on "Update" one can
edit the link from which to update them.
"MMP - MMP rw": this will make the MMP partition writeable.
"MMP ro": returns it to "read only mode".
"Boot Logo": one can edit the Boot Logo to whatever you find interesting...
*Plugins
At the moment one can manage the "iRadio" and "Mailee" plugins.
For "iRadio" one can edit the icon [the programme auto-resizes it to the necessary format], as well as
the radio station data.
"Mailee": it says it all - it's a mail client, so one can manage the data necessary for it to function.
*CAM
Currently supporting only MultiCas/CCCam: ecm info, a server list, with a number of cards and a card list.
================================= ================
How to translate this programme to other languages:
Having installed the ACC, find its main folder and search for the following file: DefaultLng.ini
Open it up and on the left side one can see the English original text and then 3 signs "///".
Your translation should go behind those 3 signs.
Once done, save it and rename it to the following format: Lng_YourLang.
An example: for French = Lng_France, then ad the French flag and rename it to 'France'.
Supported image formats are: jpg, bmp, gif, png.
Copy both files [Lng_France.ini and France.gif (if that is the format of your flag image)] to the main folder.
Once you start the App, the new language ought to appear there, as well!
