A simple app.bin to Play As Soon As Possible
by Denis Roio aka Jaromil
Website: http://syncstarter.org/pasap
PASAP is an app.bin for the WDLXTV homebrew firmware that, once put
into an usb storage connected to the WDTV device, runs in background
trying out if a http URL exists and, if yes, plays its stream, be it
audio or video.
PASAP was originally written to interact with the MPD music daemon:
set an mpd output with the internal HTTP and then plase the WDTV
box somewhere else on the LAN, there you go with a remote sound output.
Anyway PASAP can be used for a number of other things, for instance to
ship a pre-configured WDTV box anywhere and make it play a stream from
the Internet by simply plugging it in connected.
** Usage and compatibility
PASAP only works on a specific hardware configuration: WD HD Live
players running B-Rad's WDLXTV firmware, something artists themselves
can afford for approx 100EUR on the consumer market.
