Wellcome back :-)

I think we took it as far as we can. Unless we chroot it to the USB drive, I can't see what other interesting stuff can be installed? no Internet browser available in optware, so not much more we can do that will be interesting.

what does this do for the average user?

hello bodhi,

I was using this add-on on xbmc which is similar to airplay. I can send url from my pc(chrome) to xbmc. I was wondering we can have similar feature on FAT+.

Here is the link,

newuser,

Most of the XBMC add-ons are written in python. And it is a little more complicated to install anything that is not in optware. So I'm not sure it will worth the effort.  Also, because of the space limitation, if you are going to install anything more than what's currently in the mod 2.23 binpack, then you will need to switch to install optware on USB drive first.

Just a reminder.

If anyone was playing with their own custom RSS menu, remember , that I made a simple password protect for it.

see

for the example under 

"password protect rss menu goflex"

<item>
<title>[JUMPSTART]</title>
<onClick>
        nexturl=null;
        showIdle();
        input = doModalRss("rss_file://./scripts/IMS_getPassword.rss");
        if( input == "123" ) {
            nexturl = "rss_file://./scripts/stock.rss");
        } else {
            nexturl = "rss_file://./scripts/picasa_lge.rss");
        redrawDisplay();
        }
</onClick>
<link>
<script>
    link = nexturl;
</script>
</link>

   <script>
   state = getDrawingItemState();
      if (state == "focus"){
          "/tmp/usbmounts/sda1/opt/rsspack/image/fav_focus.jpg";
   }
   else {
          "/tmp/usbmounts/sda1/opt/rsspack/image/fav_unfocus.jpg";

My experience is also the same. Spent hours trying to do this wirelessly without success.

Please add this info to the sticky to save others' from wasting time.

Worked well WIRED!

My experience with installing the Mod 2.23 is the same as jimfree. Wirelessly, I could not complete the install - perhaps related to the wireless driver, but that is speculation. Once I removed the wireless adapter and switched the FAT+ to a wired connection, the install proceded without any issues.

This would be good information to include in the 1st post for others encountering problems with the install.

All is working well!

I don't know if there are still some activities here. I know that it has already been asked before, but I'd really like to know what has to be done to bring back the correct support for any USB keyboard on the Theater+. For someone like me who is frequently using the youtube function, this is a must have.

In the official Version V2.20 it was still working perfectly, but since V2.23 the Enter key is just producing "a" characters inside the search menu when pressed. Unfortunately the same behavior can be observed in this modded V2.23.

Sorry for my English and my naive question (I'm a Linux newbie), but can the existing working module somehow be extracted/copied out of V2.20 and re-implemented into this version?

Thanks for your help and ideas.

First, please post in this sticky thread for questions about installation activities/feedbacks:

Currently, there are official Android and iPhone apps available to control the FAT+/GoFlexTV. They should be more than adequate for any keyboard-related usage. If you have a smart phone then try them. If you need to use a regular keyboard, I could give it a try if I can find there is indeed a separate module. However, if the keyboard handler code is embedded in the propriertary DvdPlayer then there is nothing we can do!
