wtv minisrv node.js

The wtv minisrv, or "hacktv_updsrv" project is a node.js project that provides a mini WebTV Server, with wtv-encryption support for advanced level box access.

This open source server is in alpha status. Use at your own risk.

Current status:

• Can encrypt and decrypt SECURE ON and arbitrary encrypted data
• Can handle psuedo encryption (box sends SECURE ON but does not encrypt)
• Can handle client "relogin" and "reconnect" events

Current issues:

• Probably can't handle more than one box at a time
• Power cycling box and re-connecting via ConnectSetup may invalidate encryption until server is restarted
• wtv-update:/update does not yet function as intended

Feature Todo:

• Test and enable flashrom flashing functionality (at least for LC2 and higher)
• (maybe) Proper wtv-star (generic service outage page) support (maybe useful for allowing a unit to multiple sub-minisrvs).
• (maybe) implement HTTP proxy (needs to be able to defluff most of the web, think retro WAP converter)
• (maybe) enable "internet mode" (let user outside of minisrv)
• (maybe) wtvchat stuff
• (probably not) url tokenizer

How To Use:

• Install node.js
• Download a snapshot (either of master, or of any commit/branch/relase/tag etc)
• Extract zip somewhere and enter that directory with a command prompt
• Run npm install
• Check any configuration (services.json)
• Run node app.js
• Test with a WebTV Viewer or connect with a real box
• To connect with a real box, you will need to open ports in your firewall and have a way to connect your WebTV (and preferably reroute 10.0.0.1 to the server)
