yWeb Remote & OSD

damned · 10-03-2009, 08:43 PM

Is it possible to add Remote & OSD functionality to yWeb for an image that doesn't have it built in?
I need the OSD, as I don't have a TV connected directly to the box; I stream to a HTPC in a different room (when it works!).
I've tried installing dboxshot using yInstaller, but that didn't work.
I also used ftp to transfer dboxshot files to the var and bin folders. Again, that didn't work.
Any ideas?

Cheers for any help.

try installing fbshot using yInstaller

cant remember if its dboxshot or fbshot so I install them both

Yes, Bob- my tests show that both those files are needed. And I'm fairly sure they need to be chmod 755 as well.

@damned: You don't say which image or which version of yWeb you're on about, but you can easily tell if it's just those two files missing from the /bin folder, as the two menu items in yWeb will be 'lined-through', ie: disabled.

Cheers for the help.
I've just checked, and I do have fbshot and dboxshot in the /bin folder. I've changed chmod 755 (they were chmod 777, which is just full permissions I believe, so I don't think there's much difference).
yWeb is V2.7.1, and the image is Lincsat 7.25 Fullish (if I remember correctly - I went through a period of trying loads of images, and I think I settled on this or Lakys Sylas at the time).
The OSD still doesn't display. The picture of the remote is there.
I used to have it working with a previous image (possibly one of the Blades).
I've tried in Firfox and IE, with similar results.

make sure all files in the /share/tuxbox/neutrino/httpd-y/scripts/ folder have attributes set to 755

cheers

I'm still not sure why this didn't work on the image that I was using, as everything was as it should be.
However, now I'm using a modified Enigtrino, everything is up and running fine.
