user_config.json Quick Guide

user_config.json is an override file, you do not need to redefine everything that is in config.json, just override the values you wish to. You must use the same structure as config.json, but can override any value.

---

config section

Some values are available that are not defined in config.json by default. I will attempt to cover them here.

		"service_name": "CoolTV",
		"service_owner": "CoolDude",
		"service_logo": "WebTVLogoJewel.gif",
		"service_splash_logo": "file://ROM/images/SplashLogo1.gif"

You can set the service name and service owner, which will be used across the service when referencing itself. You can set the image to be loaded in the top left in place of the WebTV or HackTV logo, as well as the main Splash image shown on login. If an absolute path (wtv-url:/, file:// url, or http(s):// url) is not passed, the server will search for the specified filename in wtv-star/images of any Service Vault. You'll want to keep the filesizes low.

		"post_debug": true

If you would like to see debug information about realtime bytes received from a client POST request, set post_debug to true.

		"allow_guests":  false

If you would like to require registration, disabling guest mode, you can set allow_guests to false. Default is true;

		"post_percentages": [ 0, 25, 50, 100]

If you would like to see progress updates on client POST requests, you can define which percentages to show here. Other examples would be [ 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 ] for every 10%, or you could set it to false, or null, to disable progress updates. Note that percentages are not shown when post_debug is enabled.

		"ssid_block_list": [
			"8100000000000000",
			"8100000000000010"
		]

This would ban the SSIDs 8100000000000000 and 8100000000000010 from the service, but allow all other SSIDs to connect.

		"ssid_ip_allow_list": {
			"8100000000000000": [
				"192.168.1.0/24",
				"127.0.0.1"
			]
		}

This would allow 8100000000000000 to connect, despite being on the block list, if it was connecting from the 192.168.1.0/24 Subnet, or from 127.0.0.1.

		"ssid_allow_list": [
			"8100000000000020",
			"8100000000000030"
		]

This would allow only the SSIDs 8100000000000020 and 8100000000000030 to use the service, and block all other SSIDs. Note that if you add an SSID/IP combo to the ssid_ip_allow_list, it will allow the SSID even if it is not in the whitelist. This is useful to allow a leaked SSID but only from trusted hosts.

service section

		"wtv-1800" {
			"send_tellyscripts": true,
			"send_tellyscript_ssid_whitelist": [
				"8100000000000000"
			]
		}

This override would enable sending of tellyscripts, but only to the box with SSID 8100000000000000. The send_tellyscript_ssid_whitelist parameter is optional, and if not defined while send_tellyscripts is true, the server will simply send tellyscripts to all clients.

		"wtv-log": {
			"write_logs_to_disk": true
		}

By default the wtv-log:/log service discards any submitted data from the WebTV units. You can override this by setting write_logs_to_disk to true, then it will save to the directory named ServiceLogPost in the same directory as app.js.

		"wtv-some-custom-service": {
			"port": 1609,
			"connections": 1
		}

You can easily define a custom service in your user_config.json

		"wtv-tricks": {
			"service_ip": "192.168.1.8",
			"port": 1702,
			"nobind": true
		}

The wtv-tricks example above shows how you could point a service to another minisrv.

		"wtv-1800": {
			"port": 1715
		}

The wtv-1800 example above shows how you could override the default port for a service.

		"wtv-music": {
			"disabled": true
		}

The wtv-music example above shows how you could disable a default service without modifying config.json

		"http": {
			"wtv-explanation": {
				"401": "wtv-guide:/errors/invalidauth",
				"403": "wtv-guide:/errors/unauthorized",
				"404": "wtv-guide:/errors/notfound"
			}
		}

The http example above shows how you could add a custom "Explain" button to the error message shown for a specific HTTP error. This only applies to "http" and "https" sources (you do not need to define it in both, it will apply to both). Does not apply to wtv-services. You can add an explain button to any HTTP code, not just the examples above.
