So this is the place to discuss, info about the new device, which does not have netflix
this device has model numbers WDBYMN0000NBK, WDBPUF0000NBK
Please note, I do NOT own the device and must rely on feedback from beta testers, of which there is only 1 currently
So a Big Thanks to JoeySmyth for testing this
Also note that packages are not cross compatible, SMP firmware package will not run on WDTV Media Player or vice versa
Besides no Netflix support from WD, the firmware is essentially the same
Below you'll find a copy of the SMP posting, as the info is nearly the same
Download Link
1.01.30-EXT3_Liverpool_Plus-0.1.4 (450MB)
Boot Tips
* Thumbdrive Format
--- Fat32 is best booting off thumbdrive
--- EXT3 works providing that a+x permissions are set on boot files
--- NTFS will probably never work for booting, permisssions issue, default fmask prevents scripts from being executable
Install Instructions
1. Download package above
2. Unzip
3. Edit device-ip.txt (included in download)
4. run win-homebrew-upload.bat
5. run win-homebrew-brewme.bat
6. run win-homebrew-status.bat
7. place wdlxtv-liverpool.bin on thumbdrive
8. place homebrew files on same thumbdrive (wdlxtv-liverpool.bin, runsit.sh, wdtvmediaplayer.bin.mpm, wdtvmediaplayer.bin.mpm.sha1sum)
9. plug thumbdrive into WD Media Player
10. Reboot Player
11. Confirm settings - system - about shows the firmware version as "01.01.30-EXT3_Liverpool_Plus-0.1.4"
12. Thumbdrive must stay plugged in, as firmware is running live on the thumbdrive
*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
version 0.1.4
has some significant changes
1. runsit.sh has been updated - Please don't use old homebrew files, use the new ones. this permanently fixes version string issues
2. there is now limited support for the new WDTV Media Player. I do not own this device and must rely on feedback from beta testers - discussion can be found at
3. the most significant changes you'll find have to do with how themes are handled
User Themes
You now have several choices, and they all can be located on any attached drive
.theme is used to force the osd to load .theme at boot time, you will also find it is now a selectable option under settings - appearance - themes, it will be titled "forced"
note only first instance of .theme will be loaded
.<myosd name here>.theme is a new option
you can have as many of these as you want and all of them will be selectable from the settings menu
so if the theme is titled ".PM4.theme" it will show up in settings as "PM4" and be selectable
.<myosd name here.theme.linksheets is a new option
you can have as many of these as you want and all of them will be selectable from the settings menu
note that all themes ending with .linksheets will share the same moviesheets
the difference here is that linksheets.pl will be used to automagically link all your moviesheets
so for those of you that have been manually renaming and moving moviesheets, etc ...
with this option that is no longer necessary
this option will also require several settings to be enabled via WEC
LINKSHEETS=ON
MSHEETMODE=sheet (actually mode does not matter, just required to select one of them)
1 of the following must also be selected, doesn't matter which one or all of them
VIDMSHEET=ON
LISTMSHEET=ON
GENMSHEET=ON
app.bin's can be downloaded from WAM
and function per normal except there's no support for loading kernel modules via app.bins
I don't plan to add support for kernel modules, although I have verified it's possible to load modules
since any app.bins requiring kernel modules will need to be recompiled for the new kernel, I recommend to load your modules via insmod
WAM will only display and download app.bin listed on svn
containg <model>SMP</model>
min & max firmware checking has been temporarily disabled
for starters known working app.bin's on SMP
vim
mc
FileLoop
rrdtool
umspReorder
NOTE: for problems with individual app.bins, please post to the authors thread, likely found here http://forum.wdlxtv.com/viewforum.php?f=20
Nzbgetweb has been added
-- untested, I have no account to test with, so I'll have to rely on your reports
-- the daemon however does start correctly
MiniDLNA has been added
-- version is from svn which RMerlin had put together, and is now included here
Videoscreensaver overhaul, takes advantange of new upnp-cmd option which allows the added features without requiring WDTVext
-- does not run while netflix is active
-- add support for files with spaces in name
-- add multivideo support
-- add random screensaver option
Regarding Transsmissionbt,
--- just a note, tranmission does have a management page on the webend, however I recommend accessing management via <yourWDsIPaddress>:9091 as it's much more responsive that way
Regarding UMSP Media Server
is alive and functional, download and manage plugins via WAM & WEC
NOTE: for problems with individual UMSP plugins please post to the plugin authors thread, likely found here http://forum.wdlxtv.com/viewforum.php?f=53
Regarding xmount
is now very stable, and fully function with the exception of the 2 files systems listed below, those require kernel modules
xfs, reiserfs, unionfs should be working - starting with v 0.1.2
known non-working filesystems: aufs
regarding busybox
updated to version 1.22.1
this should allow you a stable predictable option if you need to do any scripting
you can still access the old version if needed
example: busybox.old [applet] [args] [options]
- Code: Select all
busybox.old ls -al
would use the old busybox version of ls
this contains a modified version of b-rad's WDLXTV-Palace-homebrew-kit
& an ext3 version of official firmware 2.02.32 Plus some changes I made
of coarse much thanks to b-rad for the kit, it's his work that made this possible
Features:
Telnet : Default root : <blank>
FTP : same as telnet
SSH : Must set passwd via telnet
dmaosd.log : Must set DMAOSD_DEBUG to 1 or 2
User scripts : /etc/ini.d/SxxScript (note: Capital S followed by 2 numbers)
User Theme: The folder ".theme" or .myosd.theme or .myosd.theme.linksheets can be placed on usb drive
Reset: Both files must be located on same drive as wdlxtv-palace.bin
**Create file reset-pwd to reset telnet/ftp passwords
**Create file reset-all to completely remove all stored settings
Updated Version of Busybox
Added bandwidth_test script
EXT3=Writable filesystem (change whatever you want)
UMSP Media Server
Videoscreensaver
TransmissionBt (torrent client)
MiniDLNA
app.bin support
Bugs:
Mode mismatch (if running official firmware in homebrew mode, some keys on remote don't function correctly, but only on some screens) - to fix 1. run wdlxtv firmware or 2. use stockify cmd to put device is normal operating mode
Recommendations:
Change your passwd immediately
Visit the webend to set an IP address for the wd-webend
Don't Change system files, unless you know what you're doing - I'm not responsible for what you do to your device
