DVD serial interface emulator for various DVD players. This started as an
|
|
|
|
|
emulator for a Victor XV-D701 to restore background video functionality
|
|
|
|
|
to Beatmania IIDX cabinets running Twinkle mixes. I've generalized it a
|
|
|
|
|
bit and am extending it to cover basic functionality of a Toshiba SD-B100
|
|
|
|
|
in order to restore DVD functionality to ParaParaParadise 2nd Mix. This
|
|
|
|
|
is a work in progress meant to help people who need to replace obsolete
|
|
|
|
|
players in various formats. Note that this hasn't been tested with sound,

|
|
|
but in theory this should work fine.

## Operating Environment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This player uses omxplayer as the actual video player. It should be able
|
|
|
|
|
to play any file that omxplayer can, though I've hardcoded it for m4v files.
|
|
|
|
|
I haven't tested sound as the uses for this only require video, but there's
|
|
|
|
|
no reason why it wouldn't work. This is meant to be run on a Raspberry Pi 2
|
|
|
|
|
but should also be portable to any other Linux system.

|
It assumes it will be run by the startup script for whatever user this is
|
|
|
|
|
run under. It assumes that this user has sudo access without a password.
|
|
|
|
|
It assumes that it can write to the homedir of the user running it. It
|
|
|
|
|
assumes that the scripts and the compiled binary will all exist in the
|
|
|
|
|
homedir of the user running them. It assumes omxplayer has been installed.

## Current State
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Victor XV-D701
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I've emulated the base JLIP protocol. Proper responses are returned for
|
|
|
|
|
recognized and unrecognized commands as well as commands with bad CRC.
|
|
|
|
|
Basic functions like play/pause/stop and seeking such as chapter commands
|
|
|
|
|
are fully supported. Basic query parameters and changing JLIP ID through
|
|
|
|
|
commands is fully supported. The rest of the spec is unimplemented as the
|
|
|
|
|
emulator is accurate enough to work with Beatmania IIDX.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Toshiba SD-B100
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I've emulated only the bare essentials here. I don't know much about the
|
|
|
|
|
protocol as I've reverse engineered everything I know out of the PPP 2nd
|
|
|
|
|
game binary and don't own a DVD player itself to experiment with. I'm not
|
|
|
|
|
sure what other appliations this will be useful for.
