[App] libAlert B/C/D/E/F/H

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

Ok! But I want a messagebox like 'CENTER' with my desired time! It will be close very early!! (5 seconds)
How can I increase its time?

You can't Use MSGBOX.

You can't Use MSGBOX.

Surprisingly

Code: Select all

samyGOso -d -A -B -l /mnt/opt/privateer/usr/libso/libAlert.so BLINKS:3 DELAY:200 MSGBOX:"Blah!"

not works!!
It only blink my TV and nothing happened after that!

Funny, lib has been keenly tested on H, something must have changed. What about 2 other features?
Maybe libText would be more suitable to what you want to achieve, everything can be customized (timeout, size, color and so on...)

CENTER and TEXT mode works great, But their timeout are very short.
libtext does not support UTF. I need to use it on my own character map.

Read more carefully and use FONT:0, it fully supports UTF, and that's the more customizable

Btw, about timeout, you can repeat injection (every 3 or 5 seconds)...

Yes your are right. UTF works great in font0. I used Font3 and it did not support UTF.

Thank you all for your answers, fantastic stuff. I always envisaged to be able to do this with ease on my TV and have been waiting a long time for a solution. THANK YOU!!!!

hi,
since having some smaller issues with libtext (it is not readable good enough depending on the screen content) i tried this one. here i have the same problem, that the tv gets stuck (no remote access anymore, not via remote control nor ssh). this can be reproduced on my h6270:
just call libalert with tyoe "SYSTEM", and while the system message is on the screen call it again - my tv gets totally stuck (even not pingable).

regards,
