LG WebOStv - Play games on RetroArch from USB drive

add_usb_drive_to_retroarch_media_folder_install.sh

#!/bin/bash
# === For rooted LG TVs with WebOsBrew installed only ===
#
# On LG WebOStv, RetroArch only have access to a few jailed folders so to run games on a usb drive,
# we need to 'merge' the USB mounting point with one of those jailed folders using OverlayFS.
# The scripts on folder '/var/lib/webosbrew/init.d/' will run after every tv boot.
# Remove the $STARTUP_FOLDER/$SCRIPT_TO_RUN_AFTER_BOOT and reboot to revert the change.
#
# Tested on 7.3.0-03.30.72
# 
# Steps:
# - Copy this script to a pen drive and insert it to the TV
# - Check if the folder '/tmp/usb/sda/sda1/' exists and have the content of your pen drive.
# - Run the script
# 
# The folder structure might be different depending of your TV version

A sua tv esta assim?

@maatthc I found two issues running the script on an updated environment:

• The first, the USB was mounted in /tmp/usb/sda/sda1 and the he script it created (add_usb_drive_to_retroarch_media_folder) inside /var/lib/webosbrew/init.d was mounting sdc instead sda. I had to fix it manually through SSH;
• The current RetroArch package available in the Homebre Channel is named com.retroarch.webos and not com.retroarch, which changed the jailed folder name inside /var/palm/jail/

Thanks for the report.. I will try again tmrw? Btw, what is your tv os version?
