RandomWallpaper v1.1 app.bin

[RMerlin]

RandomWallpaper 1.1 by RMerlin

Download link

Requires WDLXTV firmware version 0.4.3.1 or higher (either
Live or Live Plus versions).

This application will let you specify a folder containing multiple wallpapers.
Each time the WDTV goes into standby mode (when you use the Power button
on the remote), a different wallpaper will be applied to your WDTV OSD.

Optionally, you can even make the WDTV automatically resize it so
it will fit your screen.

Note that the WDTV doesn't support background images that are
larger than 512 KB. Fortunately, Randomwallpaper will
take care of that for you, by attempting to recompress
the image using a decreased quality until it can produce
a file that is below the 512 KB limit.

To install, simply copy the randomwallpaper.app.bin file
into a USB disk, then reboot your WDTV.

Configuration is entirely done through the webend configuration
page, under the "Apps" tab.

You can contact me on http://forums.wdlxtv.com/ for any question,
or visit my website at http://www.lostrealm.ca/ for the latest
version.

Changes in 1.1:
o Added XML manifest.

Just a FYI: the --resize option of my Random Wallpaper script is supported by WDLXTV 0.4.2.6 that was just released.

Edit the POWER_DOWN event as explained in the documentation to include the --resize option, drop whatever JPEG you want in the backgrounds folder, and enjoy

Just what I needed, thanks for this

Has anyone gotten issues with this script?

I'm using B-Rad's "1.02.21_WDLXTV.COM_WDLXTV_LIVE-0.4.2.6" and "PsychoTHC OSD-MOD v6.2.8 (USB version)" and I can't get Rmerlin's Random Wallpaper script to work. I did the following steps:

1. Created 'backgrounds' folder in root of usb flash drive
2. Copied .jpg files and random.pl to that folder
3. Created the 'S00Custom-config' file on root drive and set the following option (by editing the file):

config_tool -c POWER_DOWN_ACTION="/tmp/wdtvext-plugins/../backgrounds/random.pl" --resize

4. Unplugged power cord to WDTV Live
5. Inserted USB flash drive into side of WDTV Live
6. Plugged power cord back into WDTV Live
7. Wait until the screen reaches the main menu.
8. Pressed "Power" button on remote control to turn off WDTV Live.
9.Wait 5 seconds.
10. Pressed "Power" button on remote control to turn on WDTV live.

And....

Same background as before.

Alternatively, I repeated the above procedure except for step 3, I edited the 'S00custom-options' file and set the same option as above.

Still no go.

What happens if you log through SSH, and run this?

Code: Select all

ls -l /tmp/wdtvext-plugins/../backgrounds/random.pl --resize


Also, what happens if you run it manually through ssh?

Code: Select all

/tmp/wdtvext-plugins/../backgrounds/random.pl --resize

There you go then. Either your paths aren't correct, or the script isn't there.

Use PsychoTHC OSD-MOD v6.2.6 with B-Rad's "1.02.21_WDLXTV.COM_WDLXTV_LIVE-0.4.2.6
PsychoTHC OSD-MOD v6.2.8 is for B-Rad's "1.02.21_WDLXTV.COM_WDLXTV_LIVE-0.4.2.8 or B-Rad's "1.02.21_WDLXTV.COM_WDLXTV_LIVE-0.4.2.9

I wish your script had support for the backgrounds folder used by the Tools WDTVEXT plugin.

It'd be much easier.
