How i could be read a file in USB drive? For example, i are watching a movie from USB drive, in the same folder of the movie had a file named "synopsis.txt", that include the several informations about de movie.
My question is, how i could read this file and show yours content in a window, while i`m watching the movie?
Something like:

Code: Select all

cat /dtv/usb/sda/somefolder/synopsis.txt
This is possible?

thks

To display the information in the window, you can use the program myButtons
But how to find out what video is displayed?
Maybe someone will know.

I tried the myButtons but do not works in my TV (UN40B7000).
I ask in the myButtons Topic for help, but not yet get answers.
Maybe there is other way.

thx
