If the directories are empty the configuration can't work either. So probably they are not empty, but you have no rights to see them.
Can you FTP to /osd/ and see if there is a home.xml-backup file? If not, can you try renaming any of the files in /osd/ ? Try for instance 'wizard_wireless_manual.xml' because that file is not used. Afterward you can just rename it back to it's original name.
I'm getting exactly the same issue and have tried renaming a file in /osd/ and as suspected they are 'read only'. Is there a way around this ? [/quote] Same issue here, no RSS and weather. Files in /osd are read-only... |

Hi Redindian,
I've done a little more research on my RSS problem. It looks like tmp/rss.cache has the contents of my feed. Any idea why that's not making it to my WDTV screen?
Thanks!

it works but doesn't update weather and rss feed. @redindian -> do you know how to solve the problem? I installed cron via optware # ipkg install cron
Package cron (4.1-7) installed in root is up to date.
Nothing to be done
Successfully terminated.

Quite busy at the moment, but I'll put some time in it this weekend. I'll do some tests with WDTV-X release also and maybe make a custom OSD bin if I can't find a way to make the osd files writable.
Also I'll test cron some more, because on my clean install this isn't working properly either.
I remember I downloaded youtube downloader before too. So that should include cron too I think. For the people who can't wait. ;-)

Hi Redindian, Were you able to do any work on the RSS feed over the weekend? I'd sure like to get this going on my WDTV but I can't seem to get the contents of tmp/rss.cache to the screen.  Thanks! |

I did plan it for the weekend, but got caught up in other stuff, including a new GUI. See other thread. I'll have to look in to it again.
The /rss.cache is just the RSS feed cache so XML. All config files are written inside /apps/webserver-addons/osd/rss/ and same with /weather/. The rss.xml and weather.xml are writting inside /osd/ and home.xml is modified to include them.
There are two problems.
- First is that cron does not run. Seems to be with others too according to this thread.
- Second is that with the WDLXTV release the /osd/ directory is not writable.
I'll have to look at WDLXTV in detail to see how to modify the /osd/. I know b-rad wrote an osd mod guide on how to do this.
Would be great if someone could help me with cron. I've installed it through optware and it seems to work, but doesn't run. Mart seems to have the same problem.
A quick & dirty fix would be to install the youtube downloader since I think this includes a working cron also. Not sure.
I'll have to get back on these issues. Maybe I'll find some time tomorrow...

You have to create cron directory first for example, add this line in S96LinkWDTV, just before adding your cron : mkdir -p /var/spool/cron/crontabs Or, you can try something like : [ -d /var/spool/cron/crontabs ] && mkdir -p /var/spool/cron/crontabs |

same issue too under WDLXTV 0.5.3.2, I have access to rss and weather configuration through webserver but nothing appear on the wdtv screen. By ftp I saw some files in /apps/webserver-addons/www/osd/rss (rss.ini, rss.php, rss. png and index.php), same in /apps/webserver-addons/www/osd/weather (weather.ini, weather.php, index.php, config.css and a directory img with info.png) but I don't see any xml files wherever in the /apps/webserver-addons/www/osd, is that normal ??
anyway, great job!
Hi, I don't know how but now it's working and I didn't change anything. So when I put the app on my usb stick and boot the wdtv, I saw nothing ! reboot again, nothing, try to reinstall webserver, nothing....so after a few days of using wdtv for film, without any change, I saw the rss feed and the weather addon on the main screen YAhooo ! so it's working too with wdlxtv ! but I don't know why it was not working at the beginning and after yes ?? strange but now I'm happy; great job, rss and weather configuration work fine for me |

You have to create cron directory first
Thanks for the tip! I know I made this dir before. But probably then I had not installed cron yet. The directory did not exist yet so now I've created it and it's working! I'll modify my app.bin and update it later today hopefully. |
