[lacibogi]

hi,

pls, is it possible to change read only permissions on USB stck attached to TV. NTFS partition.
I want to copy those widgets into a NTFS USB stick, but it is read only.
ext3 USB stick works fine.

Has somebody tried to upgrade widget manager on B-series TVs?
Looks like widget manager is just set of javascript files. We can try:
1) take widget manager from C-series TVs - but they are encrypted on C-series, need to decrypt them.
2) take new widget manager from new B-series firmwares (if widget manager is new there)

NetPlayerB - NetPlayer for B series TV

Thanks to LAndrew - he ported NetPlayer from C series.
Widget has a limitations - if tv programm end time isn`t streamed (check on VLC), stream does not play on TV.

Download

Here are some channels already. I had success only with DanceTV, other channels won`t play at all.

Usage:
1. Pres play button first
2. get play on the menu bar - it`s buffering
3. after you get picture - switch to full screen

if you get stop after pressing play - channel isn`t supported and you can`t play it on this widget.
To add/modify channels - edit /XML/videoList.xml

Nice widget and7ey.
I was able to reduce widget size from 150kB to 90kB by optimizes PNG images.
Also add

Code: Select all

<autoUpdate>n</autoUpdate>

to config.xml file.
I'm create new archive and put widgetlist.xml file for easy install this from local server (only change IP address in this file).

Download



Now we need longer list in videoList.xml
It's easy to change after install using FTP/telnet - patch is /mtd_down/widgets/user/NetPlayerB/XML

Thanks

Hello, this does not seem to be valid xml:

<link>mms://81.89.49.210/MUSICBOX?.wma&MSWMExt=.asf</link>

the & causes problems, maybe links should be put like this <link><![CDATA[mms://81.89.49.210/MUSICBOX?.wma&MSWMExt=.asf]]></link> or just use a simple text file
