Lib displays user-defined text popups or message box on TV. Also has a feature to make screen blink on injection.
TEXT:TEXT.jpg
MSGBOX:MSGBOX.jpg
SYSTEM: (experimental, might crash some TVs, especially H, ugly anyway)SYSTEM.jpg
CENTER:CENTER.jpg
Usage:
*For D series (arm), replace every instance of /mnt below by /mtd_rwcommon/widgets/user/SamyGO/SamyGO
*For C series (arm), replace every instance of /mnt below by /SamyGO on your rooting USB device
*For B series, latest samyGOso is there.
- Get latest samyGOso from there and copy/overwrite samyGOso file (not folder) to /mnt/opt/privateer/usr/bin
- Set permissions if needed (usually not if overwritten)
Code: Select all
chmod +x /mnt/opt/privateer/usr/bin/samyGOso
- Extract attached archive and copy libAlert.so to /mnt/opt/privateer/usr/libso (create folder if needed).
- Execute
Code: Select all
samyGOso -d -A -B -l /mnt/opt/privateer/usr/libso/libAlert.so [arg1...arg3]
- TEXT:"Your text" - Display popup with your text.
- MSGBOX:"Your text" - Display message box with your text.
- SYSTEM:"Your text" - Display 'system-like' popup with your text.
- CENTER:"Your text" - Display small center popup with your text.
Only one of the 4 options above can be used at once.
- BLINKS:n - Make screen blink n times.
- DELAY:ms - Specify duration of/between blinks in milliseconds. If unspecified, default is 50ms.
Logfile is written to /dtv/Alert.log
Sample usages:
Code: Select all
samyGOso -d -A -B -l /mnt/opt/privateer/usr/libso/libAlert.so TEXT:"Welcome to SamyGO!"
Code: Select all
samyGOso -d -A -B -l /mnt/opt/privateer/usr/libso/libAlert.so BLINKS:3 DELAY:200 MSGBOX:"Blah!"
Fully support international chars. However, TV Telnet doesn't support their input, that's why an intermediate script is mandatory if you want ??x?t?c? chars to be displayed correctly. Such script is provided as sample in archive (
test.sh).
A startup script is there too (
99_99_zzzAlert.init), also sample since it's not possible to define a default setup. Don't forget to set execute permissions if you use them (
chmod +x).
*Changelog:
Code: Select all
17/5/2015
v0.2.1 - Added SYSTEM/CENTER options

Hey, thanks for this one!
I added
Code: Select all
/mnt/opt/privateer/usr/bin/samyGOso -d -A -B -l /mnt/opt/privateer/usr/libso/libAlert.so TEXT:"SamyGO started."
at the end of run1.sh and now I know when samygo has started and telnet is available

Pay attention. You have put this line at the very beginning of your boot sequence.
Normally it is safe but in case of problems during the samyGOso injection you might end with a boot loop.
It is suggested to execute a script with usb protection patch as the one included in the init script.
By the way, I also suggest you to put one at the end of init sequence so that you know when the boot is completed.

Doesn't really matter on F/H (run1.sh) or USB root. Either SAMYGO_STOP is already there or it's just needed to unplug root USB to prevent bootloop. The advice is true and strongly recommended for E/Skype root though.

Great work, zoelechat.
This is something I have been looking for for a while now.
Does anyone know how this could be integrated with a computer notification service such as Growl or PushBullet?
Thanks again.

Done!
1) Install and configure my REST/HTTP server in your TV:
viewtopic.php?f=49&t=9360
2) From your "client" (remote machine) use simple HTTP calls like:
[url]http://my_tv:5500/service/message/text/Hello%20from%20remote%20machine/blink//delay/2[/url]
3) If you like to "connect" Growl or PushBullet, use an intermediate "broker" or custom "server" (I recommend one instance of NodeRED, with support for PushBullet and several other services!)
"Add this script for external call"
libAlert.sh:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
#Never go back to ANSI: ???? :D
SODIR=/mnt/opt/privateer/usr/so
$SODIR/samyGOso -A -B -l $SODIR/libAlert.so "$@"
I suggest to the main developer of libAlert to include this "libAlert.sh" script for "remote" call.

When ever I run following command in E series TVs, A blue messagebox with my desired text will be show correctly.
But when I want to test it in my H series, I got a red messagebox instead of blue one with text trimmed to "yGO!".
Code: Select all
samyGOso -d -A -B -l /mnt/opt/privateer/usr/libso/libAlert.so SYSTEM:"Welcome to SamyGO!"
And when I want to close it with return/exit TV will be restarted!!
What is my problem?!

Probably some "bug", most likely unexpected and different offset to that specific kind of message box depending on firmware I can't guess... Solution would be not to use that ugly SYSTEM feature
