You need to update your MPC/Force with a modded image that will launch the bootstrap from the internal filesystem, before the MPC application starts.
Check also the "libs" Wiki : https://github.com/TheKikGen/MPCLiveXplore-libs/wiki
Update as usual (usb procedure) with the last MPC / Force modded image to enable the bootstrap script :
Copy to the "tkglbootstrap[ProjectData]" directory to the root of an sdcard/usb stick, preferably formatted with ext4 filesystem
You can download the last version in a zip file here : https://github.com/TheKikGen/MPC-LiveXplore-bootstrap/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
(remove the sufix "main" after unzip)
The directory MUST be named "tkglbootstrap[ProjectData]" to be recognized by the bootstrap script within the image. This suffix allows to hide the directory when you are using the MPC app.
You can also burn a sdcard by downloading one of the ready made bootstrap image here. I recommend to run an update after installation.
You need to edit the file tkglbootstrap[ProjectData]/doer_list to add a modules list you want to launch at boot time.
Follow instructions within the file itself.
Run the script "tkgl_update" in the tkglbootstrap[ProjectData]/scripts directory. You can also open a terminal or a command line and enter :
ssh root@(your mpc ip) "/media/TKGL_BOOTSTRAP/tkgl_bootstrap_[ProjectData]/scripts/tkgl_update"Copy paste an existing module (for example the arp_overlay) to create your own.
The module name must have a directory at tkglbootstrap[ProjectData]/modules/mod_your-module-name.
Within the module directory, the start script must be named tkgl_mod_your-module-name.sh.
Your module must be then added to the tkglbootstrap[ProjectData]/doer_list file.
If your MPC is stuck, remove the sdcard and reboot. You will find a log in the tkglbootstrap[ProjectData]/logs.
# DOER_LIST : Bootstrap modules launcher
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Module name : Description
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# install : setup some directories and permissions on the filesystem
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# etcovr_clean : clean passwords files and ssh config on the /etc overlay (/media/internal-sd).
# : Even if ssh is enabled on the modified image, the overlay of the /etc directory
# : on internal-sd may restrict its use. This module deletes any etc configuration files
# : on that overlay. Run once.
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# telnetd : launch a telnetd server (root access). Experimental.
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# nomoressh : stop the ssh temporarily for security reasons (e.g. during live performance).
# You'll need to remove the usb key to reactivate ssh.
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# arp_overlay : add your own arp patterns on the sdcard.
# : Arp patterns are read only when the MPC app starts. This module creates an
# : overlay of the "/usr/share/Akai/SME0/Arp Patterns" directory on the bootstrap sdcard at
# : "/media/TKGL_BOOTSTRAP/tkgl_bootstrap_[ProjectData]/modules/mod_arp_overlay/Arp Patterns"
# : You must copy your own arp patterns within the "overlay" subdirectory.
# : More than 3000 arp patterns are provided by default.
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# rtpmidid : Launch rtpmidi and avahi daemon in the background to enable midi over ethernet. You can
# : use application like TouchDaw or any rtpmidi/Apple midi compatible device to control your
# : MPC/Force. In the midi input/output, you will see a "rtpmidi tkgl Network" midi port.
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# nomoreazmidi : az01-midi is the proprietary Akai ethernet midi service, used notably to enable Ableton Live
# : remote session. This module will stop the service (so will disable also Live remote control).
# : If you use rtpmidid module, this is a recommended setting to avoid conflicts.
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# iamforce2 : Force software launcher V2 on a MPC using midimapper.so ld_preload library
# : @Parameter : driver id to use. e.g. : iamforce2@LPMK3
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# playlogo : Play an intro video at boot with ffmpeg
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# ffstream : Stream the screen to a client via udp. You need to specify the IP address and port adress
# : of the client (e.g. "ffstream@192.168.2.1:23000". On the client side, you can use ffplay
# : to start the stream, e.g. : ffplay -f mpegts udp://(your MPC id addr):23000
# : Streaming starts 30 seconds after the boot.
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# kms2fb : Kms graphical driver (mali) to frame buffer /dev/fb0 real time redirection with ffmpeg.
# : Start 30 seconds after the boot.
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# vnc4mpc : Start a VNC server based on the framebuffer. You need to plug a keyboard if you want to
# : control keystrokes remotely. Start 30 seconds after the boot.
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# smbnetfs : Connect to your Windows share from your Force or MPC
# : @Parameters : '(user name)','(password)','(workgroup'),'(smb server ip)','(share name)'
# : e.g. : smbnetfs@'anonymous','','WORKGROUP','192.168.2.128','MUSIC_SHARE'
