This page lists any tools, skins or other utilities I've compiled or done for the Popcorn Hour NMT.
e2fsck
e2fsck is a ext2 filesystem check utility. It's missing from the normal PCH install, so I downloaded and cross-compiled a version.

ExtendedGaya Extended
- Thread is here
First off, let me say a huge thanks to the authors of ExtendedGaya (thread). I realise that I've extended thier work to produce this, and if they or anybody has any issues with that I will be happy to take this thread down.
With that all said, I'd like to introduce you to my version of ExtendedGaya - I call it ExtendedGaya extended.
It has the following improvements over the existing version:
- New horizontal theme with dual column layout
- Ability to name your hard drives (both internal and external) to whatever you like
- Full breadcrumbs drilldown from Start to current directory
- Ability to Filter the view by starting letter
- Ability to Sort the view by Ascending or Descending Date or None (filename)
- Ability to both Filter and Sort at the same time
- Ability to generate - on the fly - playlists of Videos, Music and Images from current folder.
Notes in current version:
- Setup screen is not fully functional yet
- Background alphas of the setup links at the bottom are not properly aligned
- The ExtendedGaya bookmarks aren't functioning in my version (I don't use them)
- HD screens only!
- Tested fully with PCH-110 with latest Jan firmware
- To change the names of the hard drives, edit lib/config.php (USB_DRIVE_A-1 is set to TV Shows and USB_DRIVE_B-1 is set to Movies in this version)
Thanks to:
- gshock and the Authors of GayaExtended
- excal for helping me with the vod playlists
As I mentioned, I realise that I'm extending somebody elses code, and I would be willing to take it down or to help fold any changes into the proper version if asked.
Apologies for the bad screenshots - my camera doesn't like taking pictures of my TV.

CheckTransmission - a Queue script for Transmission
- Thread is here
One of the things that I find lacking from the various PCH Torrent systems is a way to "Queue" torrents up so that you could add, say, 10 torrents but only 3 would download automatically. This is easily possible on PC clients like uTorrent but so far has been missing (as far as I know) on the PCH.
I found a nifty shell script for transmisstion proper that I heavily modified to work on the PCH.
his will check every minute to see if any torrents are Finished and Stop them, then start up X new torrents up to the number specified as the MAXACTIVE (default 3).
There are two additional config variables to be aware of:
- The FORCELIMIT parameter. If this is set to 1 then stop any torrents above the queue limit - ie ONLY download the MAXACTIVE at a time, no matter whether they are started manually. This means that even if you add a whole bunch manually, after 1 minute, the script will stop all but the MAXACTIVE count.
- The REMOVEFINISHED parameter. If this is set to 1 then automatically removed any Torrents that are 100% downloaded, done and finished.
I've test this out extensively on my PCH and haven't encountered any issues however I have seen some occasions where it takes a while to get torrent info back from transmission - and if you have a LOT of torrents this can obviously go above 1 minute execution time. This is no problem though since the script uses a temporary file to store whether it's currently running.
See thread for more details.
