v1.9.0.x-581e1da6-boxeebox

This the initial release release of OpenPHT for the BoxeeBox!

It's based on the openpht-1.9 branch of https://github.com/RasPlex/OpenPHT

Brief install instructions:

1. Install BoxeeHack

2. Create this script: /data/hack/init.d/91checkplexhometheater.sh

    #!/bin/sh
    # Check if we have plexht installed on an external drive
    for m in /tmp/mnt/*; do
    	if [ -f ${m}/start_plexht.sh ]; then
    		cd ${m}
    		./start_plexht.sh &
    		exit
    	fi
    done
   

3. Make it executable

    chmod +x /data/hack/init.d/91checkplexhometheater.sh
   

4. Unpack the release tar-ball on a removable device and reboot the box

5. OpenPHT should boot automatically now =)

Known issues:

• Video playback is sometimes choppy - it should be possible to tune this for future releases
• Timezone cannot be set in settings - should be simple to fix
• The "System Settings" menu doesn't work (looks like it's an external application that I haven't looked into yet)
• This release has many duplicate libraries that could be removed to save space
• ASS subtitles doesn't work since I forgot libass.so.5.3.2 (attached, just drop it together with the rest of the files)

EDIT: I fucked up the zip file. Re-uploaded now
EDIT2: Attached libass.so.5.3.2
