This project shows a way to host Media Station X JSON files via GitHub Pages.
For more information about the Media Station X project, please visit: https://msx.benzac.de/info/.
- Create a repository named msx under your account (in this case: https://github.com/benzac-de/msx)
- Create a start.json file in this repository (for the data structure, please see: https://msx.benzac.de/wiki/index.php?title=Start_Object)
- Create a data folder (or choose another name) in this repository
- Create a menu.json file (or choose another name) in the data folder (for the data structure, please see: https://msx.benzac.de/wiki/index.php?title=Menu_Root_Object)
- Create additional content files in the data folder (for the data structure, please see: https://msx.benzac.de/wiki/index.php?title=Content_Root_Object)
- Reference the menu.json in the start.json file (in this case:
menu:https://benzac-de.github.io/msx/data/menu.json) - Reference the additional content files in the menu.json file
- Setup GitHub Pages by following this guide: https://docs.github.com/en/pages/getting-started-with-github-pages/configuring-a-publishing-source-for-your-github-pages-site
- Check if the start.json file is correctly hosted:
- https://{ACCOUNT}.github.io/msx/start.json (in this case: https://benzac-de.github.io/msx/start.json)
- Go to your corresponding application store (please see: https://msx.benzac.de/info/?tab=PlatformSupport)
- Install and launch the Media Station X application
- Navigate to Settings → Start Parameter → Setup
- Set the security lock (for HTTPS mode) and enter:
{ACCOUNT}.github.io(in this case:benzac-de.github.io) - Once you have completed the start parameter setup, your content is loaded every time you start the application
- Use a standard web browser and open the following URL:
- https://msx.benzac.de?start=menu:https://{ACCOUNT}.github.io/path/to/menu (in this case: https://msx.benzac.de?start=menu:https://benzac-de.github.io/msx/data/menu.json)
