Add custom options in Video Settings OSD?

[ledge74]

Hello all :)

 

I'm using RasPlex with Hyperion (a boblight clone) in order to have an ambilight like feature and it works just fine. But I would like to be able to switch it on/off without having to use ssh commands.

 

Is it possible to easily add custom settings in the "Video Settings" OSD? (see attached screenshot below)

 


 

My idea was to add two features:

• Turn Hyperion off, which has to send the bash command : 

killall hyperiond

• Turn Hyperion on, which has to send the bash command : 

/storage/hyperion/bin/hyperiond.sh /storage/.config/hyperion.config.json /dev/null 2>&1 &

Do you guys think it is feasible? Or do you have any other ideas to exec these commands without having to SSH into the pi??

 

Thanks :)

Not feasible really, I seem to remember that there used to be a way to map command line commands to remote keys in XBMC, suggest that you try searching the good ol' interweb to see what you can find.

I ended up installing a big ol' inline switch and sticking it on the back of the TV, this turns the whole power adapter to the lights off.

Damn, it would have been really handy. I will take a deeper look at remote mapping. Thanks :)

Damn, this thought didn't even cross my mind, haha. Maybe I'll end up doing that as well ..
