You guys did it inside the bootloader.
Whenever I switch on my computer just for watching a movie or listen to music and nothing else... I feel it so unnecessary to boot up my fedora, load my cpu and ram with programs that has nothing to do with video player....
I was wondering if there is any stable minimal OS which is dedicated only for movies, songs, and nothing else....
I am aware of couple of media centers such as kodi, osmc and openelec.... But haven't found any minimalistic systems....
- TheTravCav 11y agogeexbox is the closest thing i can think of. You can even use http://www.geexbox.org/iso-generator/ http://www.geexbox.org/iso-generator/ to put the movie and the os on disc/usb and boot to the movie basically.
- fancy_pantser 11y agoFor existing audio hardware there are projects like http://www.rockbox.org http://www.rockbox.org that are minimalistic firmware replacements that you can hack on. On the video side I can't think of anything similar to DVD firmware that's open source but that sounds like what you're looking for. I've attempted a few slimmed down Linux distros for the Raspberry Pi and alternative OSes that can play back media. Things to check out would be: RISC OS, OpenElec, PiCore, PiPlay, Minibian...
- klibertp 11y agoTry KolibriOS[1]. It does have a media player AFAIK. Also, it comes on a single floppy. [1] http://wiki.kolibrios.org/wiki/Main_Page http://wiki.kolibrios.org/wiki/Main_Page
