What does adding openWRT onto this add? I'm trying to find information on what kind of features this adds to the player.

It's an open source OS for the router aspect of the Zidoo hardware. So pretty much any compatible OpenWRT package can be installed onto it:

• Aria2 File Downloader – utilizes a web interface to allow downloading files by URL and store them on USB/storage attached to the router.
  
• BitTorrent Client – the Transmission bittorrent client with a web interface to download bittorrents to USB storage attached to the router.
  
• Dynamic DDNS – use DNS services to assign a URL to your router rather than an IP Address.
  
• Interface Traffic Statistics – shows the traffic on all router interfaces graphically using vnstat.
  
• MJPG-Streamer – support for web cams with preview.
  
• OpenVPN - implements virtual private network (VPN) techniques for creating secure point-to-point or site-to-site connections in routed or bridged configurations and remote access facilities.
  
• Print Server – attach a printer to the router and have access to it via the network.
  
• Quality of Service - is equivalent to traffic shaping but with packet prioritization, application classification and queuing at congestion points.
  
• Relayd Protocol – used to implement wifi linking.
  
• ROOter Modem Support – basic ROOter support for modems.
  
• ROOter SMS Support – adds SMS to the basic ROOter.
  
• Samba File Sharing – share USB storage over the network.
  
• Universal Plug’n’Play - permits networked devices to seamlessly discover each other's presence on the network.
  
• VSFTPD FTP Server – an FTP server.
  
• Wonder Traffic Shaper – traffic shaper used to improve response times.
  
• and many, many more!
  

Some packages can even be themed together to form a specific router mod:

• ROOTer - allows USB modem (and tethered Android connections) connectivity, Guest WiFi, SMS, loadbalancing/failover, UPNP, DLNA, SAMBA, etc.
  
• Piratebox - allows for offline wireless file-sharing / local IRC/ radio broadcasting
  
• B.A.T.M.A.N. - Mesh-networking / Node file-sharing
  
• and many, many more!
