NeTV tricks

=Open a secure shell (SSH) console on NeTV= See also USB Ethernet support ssh root@192.168.1.100
 * Go to Control Panel of NeTV with infrared remote control
 * Under Settings menu, select Enable SSH
 * Find out NeTV's IP address under System Info menu
 * Using an SSH client (Windows users can use PuTTY, Mac/Linux users can use  from a terminal window), log in as the user root with no password. e.g.
 * You should see a message showing your last login time.

= Scheduled tasks, auto-execution of tasks =

Launching sshd at startup
WARNING - doing this will reduce the level of security on your chumby, and may allow unauthorized access
 * Open up a console on the chumby
 * At the console, type:
 * Now  will be started when NeTV boots
 * To stop this behavior in the future, type:

Run processes on start-up
= Boot up, default screen, control panel customizations =

Bootloader Screen
Prepare a PNG image with 1280x720 resolution. killall NeTVBrowser SCREEN_X_RES=1280 SCREEN_Y_RES=720 imgtool --bitfmt=rgb565 /tmp/bootlogo.png dd if=/dev/fb0 bs=$((1280*720*2)) count=1 | gzip -c | config_util --cmd=putblock --block=logo Note:  is a distraction. It doesn't do any good :)
 * Copy it to the device, (eg. /tmp/bootlogo.png)
 * Stop the NeTVBrowser from drawing to the screen
 * Splash the logo image on to framebuffer
 * Capture the framebuffer to config block
 * Reboot and check that it's changed

Using an external URL as Control Panel
To to have NeTV goes to a particular Url on boot
 * Open up a console on the chumby
 * At the console, type:
 * Enter a full HTTP URL (eg. http://www.your_fancy_ui.com)
 * Now NeTV's browser will be redirected to your page when NeTV boots
 * To stop this behavior in the future, type:

Using a local custom Control Panel (firmware 23)
To to have NeTV use a certain local folder as docroot on boot The path must be an valid absolute path & must exists for this to take effect. It will fallback to default  otherwise. NeTVServer will first look for files in this custom folder, and fallback to default folder in  if the file doesn't exists. This behavior was design for life support stuff such as Update UI, WiFi config UI, supporting shell scripts; so you don't have to copy those to your new folder. This behavior is also useful if you need to overwrite only certain files in the default docroot tree (eg. an single image or single css stylesheet) For whatever reason, if you want it to happen manually on-demand (switching it manually on every boot), please see SetDocroot API.
 * Open up a console on the chumby
 * At the console, type:
 * Enter a valid folder path (eg. /media/storage/myfancyui)
 * Now NeTV's browser will be redirected to your page on next boot
 * To stop this behavior in the future, type:
