File placement

This file is executed only when the WDTV starts/boots up, every boot, so operations placed here should not be adversely affected by multiple execution. If you want to apply changes, you have to issue a reboot -f from ssh/telnet or unplug and replug the power cord.

The file is called S00custom-options (no extension). Place it on the root directory of a USB drive attached at boot.

You can also name it S00user-script and place it to the /conf directory on the WDTV. If you choose to create a /conf/S00user-script you must make sure it contains no syntax errors as it will prevent your wdxtv from booting.

WDTV Live

How to use S00custom-options

To enable any setting you see in the file, remove the hash mark (#) from the start of the line. this:

#config_tool -c SOMESETTING=somesetting

becomes:

config_tool -c SOMESETTING=somesetting

config_tool settings 'stick' after being executed once, so you are only required to set them once.

Available settings

Here is a list of currently available config_tool commands for the WDTV Live (running WDLXTV-Live firmware). These settings are available in the version 0.4.2.2 or higher. For settings from a previous version see the comments in the corresponding S00custom file which is included in every release. The settings can also be set by manual execution via telnet/ssh.

Changing the background

Supplying a single image name only works if that image resides in /osd. You may instead use an absolute location to specify any background image you desire, just make sure it exists.

For the original background:

config_tool -c BACKGROUND_IMAGE=original_bg.jpg

For eM82's backdrop background:

config_tool -c BACKGROUND_IMAGE=eM82_bg.jpg

For the wood panel (default) background:

config_tool -c BACKGROUND_IMAGE=villa_bg.jpg

Simplest way to change the background image is adding your image renamed to villa_bg.jpg (maxsize=524288) to root folder of USB drive, and power cycle.

This will change the number of rows in list view.

config_tool -c LISTNUM=4

config_tool -c LISTNUM=12

Number of thumbnails in video thumb view

This will change the video thumb view to various amounts of thumbs. It changes the resolution of the displayed image.

config_tool -c THUMBRESO=150x200  #12 thumbs
config_tool -c THUMBRESO=163x245  #8 thumbs
config_tool -c THUMBRESO=180x240  #10 thumbs
config_tool -c THUMBRESO=225x300  #4 thumbs
config_tool -c THUMBRESO=240x360  #4 thumbs

Number of thumbnails in music/photo thumb view

This will change the music and photo thumb views to various amounts of thumbs.

config_tool -c GENTHUMBS=10  #10
config_tool -c GENTHUMBS=15  #15  (default)

This requires reboot after change. Used to be able to see subtitles during pause, timing, etc.

Upper ~60% of the screen:

config_tool -c VIDEO_INFO_BAR=2

Top (warning: options bar covers up info overlay with setting 3):

config_tool -c VIDEO_INFO_BAR=3

Enable NTP (Network Time Protocol)

The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a protocol for synchronizing the clocks of computer systems over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks. It is designed particularly to resist the effects of variable latency by using a jitter buffer. For more information visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Time_Protocol

ONLY with wireless: NTP adds ~20s to the initial boot of the device due to the bringing up and acquisition of wireless network address. If NTP fails because of slow address acquire you can increase delay to NTP_DELAY.

config_tool -c NTP=ON

Custom NTP server

config_tool -c NTPSERVER=pool.ntp.org

NTP delay

NTP delay in seconds (in case of slow wireless adapter)

config_tool -c NTP_DELAY=0

Use S00custom-options or S00user-script for actions that happen at boot.
DO NOT EXECUTE usb.power.on OR usb.power.off in power actions (see USB_POWER_OFF setting).

You may have number actions which are executed in order.
