Media Folder Plugin

Where I can find the Media Folder Plugin? Any help to configure it?

Do you mean MediaMark plugin?

If not that one, I don't know which you mean.

You can find it in SVN: https://svn.wdlxtv.com/listing.php?repname=wdtvext-plugins&path=%2FMediaFolder%2F&#a855ecdf20e0ddbaa13f6c3b1e1deef84

It can be installed through plugins menu in OSD.

Thanks recliq, this is what I was looking for. Could you please provide me some guidance on how to install and configure it?

I am looking for a little direction on this plug in as well. I would like to have the movies icon take me to the folder icon (as it already does) but then I want to be placed directly into the USB1 drive movies folder instead of having to select which external I want to use, then selecting a folder from the external. Is there a way to manipulate the java script in order to do this? I have tried every combination of naming convention i can figure on the java script file with no luck. Is it a limitation of the file and or the WDTV that it cannot place me into a folder on the external drive?
Thank you for your assistance.

Thanks for the response.
I have a follow on question; is it possible through java scripting to send a command to select, as if the user had selected "OK" while on a menu item? My thought is, if I can set up my folders and drives in such a way that they are the first options that come up when I select my movies option (formerly folders), then if I have a simple script that is executed when I select the movies icon which sends an "OK" command or select command to the first menu option that comes up it will effectively put me into the drive I want for movies without having to actually perform the navigation myself.

I read through your DevelopWDTVExtPlugin page, but didnt see anything about how to send a select or "OK" command as if the user had pressed "OK" on the remote.

I'm not sure if java works like terminal or batch commands, but I have created several similar commands for my most common and time intensive workflows on my computer. It seems to me that if we can create reboot scripts, we should be able to create a simple select or send "OK" script.

Thanks for your assistance.

I have a question.

I am attempting to modify this plugin so that the Music and Photos menus go straight to Local Drives when selected, rather than Folders. This is because for these areas, I want to have access to the media library options.

However when I modify this:

Code: Select all

Menu.Top.$$Music.handler = function(){
                    Menu.Top["$$Music"]["$$Local Drives"]["$$Folders"].handler()
            };

to this:

Code: Select all

Menu.Top.$$Music.handler = function(){
                    Menu.Top["$$Music"]["$$Local Drives"].handler()
            };

I end up unable to open either the Music or Photos items at all, and the webend and telnet servers also fail.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

We are tracking on the same issue. The commands you are using cannot access local drives, so regardless of the nomenclature you use, you will not get it to open the drive. The closest we can get right now is to have the movies icon be the first icon that shows up after you select video. If we can develop a script that will pause a half second then send an "OK" command just as if the user had pressed ok that should do it, but I dont enough about java scripting to figure that one out.

On the tools option there is a re-boot icon which sends a reboot command to the box, why is it so difficult to send a "OK" command to the box? I have been loosing my hair trying to figure out the scripting for this one.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Didn't get any feedback on PsychoTHC forum on this board, therefore trying here again:

I've got issues with (modified) Media_Folder plugin and OSD-MOD v6.5.3. When plugin is enabled I don't see any icon on any level, just titles - however: menu item "re-placements" and link to NAS folder functionality still worx. If plugin is disabled, every icon appears as it should.

Running 1.02.21_EXT3 BOOT_Live-0.4.5.3 and OSD-MOD v6.5.3 (USB version)

Understand that because of my modifications, specific advice will be unlikely, but wondering if anybody out there has a similar issue or if not. (Happy to share my js, of course, if anybody likes to have look) Thanx
