hooks do not persist on "true" reboot (eg Quick Start+ is off or power is lost)

[machineonamission]

when the TV truly reboots (either through losing power, crashing, or Quick Start+ being disabled), the keybinds are lost until the app is opened again.
the homebrew channel has a way to run scripts on boot
webosbrew/webos-homebrew-channel#2

So, how should we make it auto start?

[Pottu221]

Heres what i did...

1. Download and install filezilla
2. Open it and click the "File" at the left top corner
3. Then click "site manager"
4. Click "Protocol" and change it to "SFTP"
5. Then add your TV´s ip address and port 22 and login info
6. After that click "connect" and ok
7. Then move to the "/media/developer/apps/usr/palm/services/org.webosbrew.hbchannel.service" directory and find "startup.sh" file
8. After move it to your desktop or whatever you prefer to do.
9. Open the file with notepad++

10.After that i modified the last lines to look like this

    # Automatically elevate Homebrew Channel service
    if [[ -x /media/developer/apps/usr/palm/services/org.webosbrew.hbchannel.service/elevate-service ]]; then
        /media/developer/apps/usr/palm/services/org.webosbrew.hbchannel.service/elevate-service
    fi

    # Run user startup hooks
    if [[ -d /var/lib/webosbrew/init.d ]]; then
        run-parts /var/lib/webosbrew/init.d
    fi
    # Reset failsafe flag after a while
    sleep 10
    rm /var/luna/preferences/webosbrew_failsafe
fi

11. After that i replaced the file in filezilla and its done.

Or, if you're confortable with the CLI:

1. ssh into your TV
2. vi /media/developer/apps/usr/palm/services/org.webosbrew.hbchannel.service/startup.sh

I'll try that now.

Tell me if it worked!

Without modification, mine looks like this:

So I don't see anything to change there. But it may be working already? It seems sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, after a reboot.

[Pottu221]

Yea it surely is very unstable

[lsahnicne]

Adding webos service activity using this command worked for me - a few seconds after TV is turned on the keybinds are enabled.

@isahnicne Do you need to modify the command in any way?

No, I did not modify it.
