Opening a terminal shell that displays in the main output (HDMI)

  • Anyone know a way to run a shell script or open a terminal window from -lets say a Kodi addon- and display the results on the main screen, in my case HDMI? I am running on an Amlogic s905 and I want to run a SH script that shows some information about the system, if I select it, it runs (it generates a small log file) but I don't see the results on screen :(

    any ideas?

    Thanks!

  • It's possible to pop a simple toaster with simple one-line messages but anything more requires skin support for the Window format, which won't exist unless you tweak/hack the skin. However, the goal of a working systems is a) it just works, b) you watch movies not console output. If you fail on those criteria the configuration or something more serious requires code debugging and fixing, which requires proper tools, which means using SSH to see things, which means this is not required.
