open-PLAYER Hack: WDTV Custom Theme and Auto Start Video
Recently open-PLAYER installations for single channel videos mostly run on Western Digital TV Media Player. Open Source community has developed a series of professional grade updates: from firmware all the way to customized menus and package management.
The major problem for stand-alone installation was that one needed to initialize the playback via remote control, and after that the player will smoothly loop video. This open-PLAYER hack solves that problem and enables automatic playback of video(s) on the enclosed USB drive.
Software needed is enhanced WDTV firmware WDLXTV, Optware for WDTV, eiri and custom theme skeleton.
Luisa Rabbia’s Travels with Isabella and Cliff Evans’ Bare Life run now using this WDTV hack, as well as all VOS videos.
