That's not my menu...!

Tonight, I found that in the Ellion Open source, UnitTest/Grandma_DG_StateMachine was the source code for the DvdPlayer. It was everything necessary, but referenced a few things that weren't quite right. For one, it tried to get to the Utility and Platform_Lib as if they were right there. So I put in a symbolic link to put them there. Second was that it was trying to reference the mp3info.h in the mp3info directory when it was really in the mp3info/Include directory. So I copied to to the mp3info directory (yeah, I should have used a hard link instead, doh!)
Last piece was that it was trying to get to a Tools/MConfig, which wasn't there. So I found a Tools/MConfig in the conceptronic sources and put it there. It all compiled (and I mean compiled, not linked a bunch of already compiled .o files :D )

I copied it and the resource directory out on the ScreenPlay. Like in previous attempts, it came up in Pal mode. Unlike in previous attempts, it was now reading the keyboard. So I exited the program and this time brought it up by typing ./DvdPlayer -f NTSC which forced it to NTSC mode.

It worked.

The remote control didn't work, but I could control everything from the keyboard through telnet. I was able to complete the configuration screen, then browse to both the USB and Main hard drives. Naturally, the menu is based on the same principles that the Iomega SPP is, where it just lists filenames and shows a preview. But I was able to browse to specific movies and launch them.

Since there is a file called ir_control.cpp in the directory, I'm positive I'll be able to get the remote control working...

But not tonight. It'll have to wait a couple of nights before I can get back to it.

Update: Too excited to sleep tonight. RemoteControl.cpp and RemoteControl.h in the Platform_Lib were the ones responsible. In RemoteControl.h, it defines the manufacturer's code for the Ellion, which they had two. So I stuck in a printf in the ir_control.cpp to find out what remote code was for the Iomega, and found out mine was 0x3f40. Stuck that in, now it should process the codes...except that the codes are all different. Luckily, prior work has paid off now: http://screenplayprohd.wikia.com/wiki/Remote the bottom half JP1 OBC codes are listed. So it is just a matter of changing the RemoteControl.cpp switch statement to use the Iomega codes intead of the Ellion ones. :)
