Create theme path using Command prompt & telnet?

Hey guys

I want my SMP to display linksheets.

I have the latest firmware installed.

I have been successfully running GBBM off of a usb (using the latest wdlxtv firmware) & my linksheets display fine.

However, some films stutter & pause when using wdlxtv (they play fine when I unplug the usb stick & run the official firmware).

So my aim is to change the theme path so that GBBM is booted from my usb stick & I can display linksheets but I will be using the official firmware.

I have been following this guide found on the forum:

http://community.wd.com/t5/WD-TV-Live-Streaming/Getting-around-the-30MB-theme-limit-and-repointing-the-SMP-to/td-p/631463

After attempting to set the theme path I reboot my SMP but it is still at the default theme.

When I look under ‘appearance’, it states my theme path that I entered in Command Prompt.

I think that I may be entering the theme path slightly wrong.

My USb is identified as: /tmp/media/usb/USB210/4489-F8EA

The folder that I created on my USB was: wdtv_​themes

So I assumed my theme path would be: config_tool -c THEME_PATH=/tmp/media/usb/USB210/4489-F8EA.wdtv_​themes

However, this doesn’t seem to work.

Any help?

this is all over my head, but KAD79 is about the only person that could help you with this

but i did notice one thing, the path is missing a missing forward slash ?  :neutral_face:

Thanks Joey, I tried that but no luck.

According to the instructions I don’t have the GBBM theme in a folder named .theme (the way I used to do it when using WDLXTV firmware).

Instead, I just paste the theme into the folder named wdtv_themes

Do you know whether this is correct?

Thanks

i have no idea sorry :cry:… i have a WDTV Live Hub which supports Linksheets ‘out of the box’  (well … inside the box on the 1TB HDD)

keep asking KAD in the WDLXTV forums (as you have) that’s the best place to ask for “Unofficial Support”

Here is a screen shot of my usb name.

In CMD I am typing:

config_tool -c THEME_PATH=/tmp/media/usb/USB210/4489-F8EA/.wdtv_​themes

Anything wrong?

Thanks

After checking the path I got:

dunno, have you tried the previous version of wdlxtv ?
