NOTE: Nearly all of these options can now be edited much more easily through the web-based WEC interface.


Contents

The S00custom-options is a file that contains settings that you can configure that aren't accessible by the regular Settings option on the WDTV. WARNING: Any syntax errors in this file will cause the OSD to not boot at all.

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 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

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
