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 when the WDTV starts/boots up AND when /usr/sbin/resume is called, 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.

WDTV Live

Common settings

Here is a list of currently available config_tool commands for the WDTV Live (running Brad's WDLXTV-Live firmware).

Changing the background

  • 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.

Hostname

Change the hostname (what other devices over the network see your WDTV as).

config_tool -c DEVICE_NAME=SomeHostName

Custom USB slot icons

config_tool -c USBICONS='yes'

Disable telnet server

config_tool -c TELNETD=OFF

Disable pure-ftpd server

config_tool -c FTPD=OFF

Disable dropbear ssh server

config_tool -c SSHD=OFF

Disable keep alive of ethernet during WDTV Live standby

config_tool -c DISABLE_ETHERNET_ON_STANDBY=YES

Enable NTP (network time)

If the info bar disappears, either disable this or increase delay in NTP_DELAY.

config_tool -c NTP=ON

NTP delay

The value is in seconds.

config_tool -c NTP_DELAY=0

Disable mt-daapd digital audio server

Saves approximately 10MB of RAM.

config_tool -c MT-DAAPD=OFF

Disable lighttpd webserver

This is enabled by default.

config_tool -c LIGHTTPD=OFF

Enable Deluge bittorrent client

Use in case of stalled network detection, or as a troubleshooting step because nzbget / Deluge won't start

config_tool -c ONLINEDELAYER=OFF

Ethernet actions

Commands to be executed when the ethernet interface is brought up/down by the OSD. Only executed when your WDTV Live comes on and when it goes into standby via remote.

You may have number actions which are executed in order.

config_tool -c ETH_UP_ACTION='logger -t "eth_up_action" "I am doing something"
config_tool -c ETH_UP_ACTION20='sleep 5; ether-wake -b xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx; sleep 10; . /conf/net.mounts'
config_tool -c ETH_DOWN_ACTION='logger -t "eth_down_action" "the OSD has been suspended"'

The following ethernet action will stop all running services and then turn off power to the usb bus. Unless you know what you're doing, it MUST be the last action.

config_tool -c ETH_DOWN_ACTION9999='suspend && sleep 2 && usb.power.off'

The following ethernet action will tun on power to the usb bus then start all services. Unless you know what you're doing, it MUST be the first action.

config_tool -c ETH_UP_ACTION00='usb.power.on && sleep 5 && resume'

Change SMB resolve order to 'proper' order

This may or may not work for you. This MUST contain either valid settings or be blank.

  • Proper/corrected order:
config_tool -c SMB_RESOLVEORDER='lmhosts host wins bcast'

Change Samba share export to not allow guest (anonymous) mounting

If you do this you'll have to supply your own smb.conf with all the proper settings configured in order to mount exported shares remotely.

config_tool -c SMB_NOGUEST=ON

Default is ON.

config_tool -c SMB_STANDBY=OFF
