Topic: Use case, need advice

Hi guys,

I'm a new NeTV user. I intend to use the device for simple HTML overlay over HDMI video. I would like to be able to shut down the default menus, crawler, etc, and load a remote HTML page.

Please, I'd like to get some advice to get started with how to customize the services running on the NeTV, in order to disable the bottom-left bug, crawler, customize the menu...

One more question: is it possible by any means to use HTML items with transparency, instead of chroma key?


Thank you and happy holidays for everybody.

Alberto.

Hi Alberto,

NeTV user sredmyer was kind enough to document his (successful) efforts to have his NeTV use a remote HTML page. There are two consecutive posts that should get you started, and the first one is here.

One more question: is it possible by any means to use HTML items with transparency, instead of chroma key?

As far as I know, chroma key is the only method supported.

I accomplished the same thing by modifying the index.html. It contains the menu and loads everything else. I removed everything but left an iframe with a height and width of 100% and pointed it to my external page. Now it is the only thing that loads by default. Pretty happy with the behaviour.
