(imperfect) Fix for Kaid Control Pad download option - Big_Whoopin - 2006-11-29 05:40

Just today (well behind the times) I discovered the Kaid Control Pad script. When installed on my Xbox it would fail to download good versions of kaid.conf and kaid.gz as the urls in CfgFile.xml are no longer valid. I had a good copy of kaid 7007 from another WRT router I was working on so I went about figuring out how I could make a standalone solution that could get someone without a web server up and running with KCP. My trick was to make an additional kaid subdirectory of the XBMC web folder (I used \web\kaid1) and then point CfgFile.xml to that location. I updated the xml as follows:

Code:

<setting type='string' id='http_kaid_cnf'>

    <value>http://localhost/kaid1/kaid.conf</value>

  </setting>

  <setting type='string' id='http_kaid_bin'>

    <value>http://localhost/kaid1/kaid.gz</value>

  </setting>

This has worked out well. Instruct KCP to download kaid, it finds the version placed on the Xbox, copies it to \web\kaid\ and patches the kaid.conf file with the required information. The contents of \web\kaid\ can then be put on the WRT device via the install option. I've tested this with a WRT54GL v1.1 running DD-WRT v23 and it works great. Note that DD-WRT v23 SP1 and above are currently broken for the KCP script. I've brought an older thread back to life a few minutes ago with information that could lead to a solution.
