Jetway-mediaplayer
Jetways - nettop - media player
MMCD has a few Jetways nettop computers, which we use as media players for shows. Although they can be set to do other "jobs"
Configuration
- operating system: Debian (Jessie)
- window manager: evilwm: For launching a terminal do Ctl+Alt+Return
configuration
- hostname: mmdc-tiny
- root passw: PietZwart
- user: student
- user passw: pzi
auto login
Is set to user student.
As SystemV is no longer in use in recent versions of Debian, and instead Systedmd is used /etc/inittab settings are no longer performed.
Instead this post indicated /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@tty1.service and /etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service.d/autologin.conf needed to be edited
auto startx
in ~/bash_profile
if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ] && [ $(tty) = /dev/tty1 ]; then while true do startx -- sleep 10 done fi
Applications
run on startx
use .xinitrc file to decide what applications/scripts will run when your window manager (x server) starts.

audio output
As media player software the Jetways use mpv
Its audio output can be changed from analog audio out to HDMI audio out, by editing the mpv line in /home/student/bin/video-loop.sh:
mpv --fs --loop=inf --audio-device=jack --volume=25 $DIR # --audio-device=jack -- audio to analog audio output # --audio-device=alsa -- audio to HDMI audio output

HOW IS AUTO MOUNT DONE IN JETWAYS?

Line: FS_MOUNTOPTIONS="-fstype=vfat,flush,gid=plugdev,dmask=0007,fmask=0117" allows users in the plugdev group to write to mounted devices
