I wrote my own extension for Balsamic and several of my eink demos, plus my video player with a menu for various videos. Easy to grab an existing extension and tweak it.

I will post a shortened version of my gmdemo extension here. I only tested this on my PW3. The PW2 needs a usbotg kernel module support that amazon does not provide, though we should be able to add what is missing (with compatible kernel vermagic).

extensions/gmdemo/config.xml:

PHP Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<extension>
  <information>
    <name>Geekmaster Video</name>
    <version>1.5a</version>
    <author>geekmaster</author>
    <id>gmvid</id>
  </information>
  <menus>
    <menu type="json" dynamic="true">menu.json</menu>
  </menus>
</extension>

extensions/gmdemo/menu.json:

PHP Code:

{
  "items": [
    {
      "name": "Geekmaster Demos",
      "priority": 0,
      "items": [
        {"name": "Balsamic: twobob audio/video demo", "priority": 1, "action": "bin/gmdemo.sh", "params": "Balsamic noise.wav"},
        {"name": "titty: geekmaster tiny tty demo", "priority": 1, "action": "bin/gmdemo.sh", "params": "titty"}
      ]
    }
  ]
} 


extensions/gmdemo/bin/gmdemo.sh:

PHP Code:

#!/bin/sh
lipc-set-prop com.lab126.powerd preventScreenSaver 1
killall -stop Xorg cvm # pause framework
eips -c
pause 1

bin/$@

killall -cont cvm Xorg # resume framework
lipc-set-prop com.lab126.powerd preventScreenSaver 0

return 0

Beware that Balsamic blows up after playing the audio tune (with eink animation) for awhile. It works fine on earlier kindles with sound. Not sure how to fix that yet.
