I have a PCH A110 working nicely, running NPVR, on my network (thanks to martin)
Now I have put an A100 on the network (for another TV), which won't run NPVR
The PCH finds the network share, but when I select NPVR in the HTML screen I get the 'request cannot be processed error'. Unlike the A110 the A100 has a hard disk installed. I have told NPVR to start two servers

Syntax checker output follows. Could someone look at it and see what might be wrong

Your config.xml settings for the NMT that doesn't works has a 1280x720 resolution but the machine itself is set up as PAL.

Martin

Been away. Only just tried changing config.xml. Changed to 720x576, cold started everything, but still got the same "request cannot be processed error". Syntax checker follows

Unfortunately your NMT's picked up the hostname of your PC with different cases. I suggest that you edit/change the Share name of the second NMT from media:mvpmc to MEDIA:mvpmc

Amazing - what a subtle error - linux I suppose - thanks martin, works fine now
BTW how do you get the progress bar with MVPMCX2. Your wiki page says the blue button, but this doesn't seem to work

It is blue button, but I'd suspect you config.xml settings are wrong, try this and then adjust from there

MVPOffsetY 32

Martin,
Tried these settings and a lot of others but the blue button still doesn't work; and this is true for all three NMTs that I run (one PAL, two HDMI). All these settings seem to do for me is change the screen size on the TV for the NPVR menus, without any obvious effect on the picture when the NPVR is playing a recording - which is when you need to see the progress bar. Its very frustrating. The skipping and so on is very good now under the new version of NPVR - much better than PCH's Myi Home, but I still find myself using MyiHome a lot because if you stop and start and skip you do need to know where you are in the recording
I guess I must be missing something obvious again

Please compress and upload your MVP logs and I can check further. Also check your startmeup file and make sure you have no command line parameters.

Martin

Martin,

thanks

Logs attached.
Usually there doesn't seem to be more in the logs than what is in MVP.log attached
Aftyer the start I accessed a programme on the TV (successfully) skipped forward a couple of times and skipped back a bit (worked nicely), tried the blue button (didn't work), and exited to the recording menu, then left it until the screen saver came on - all of which you don't see in the log

For some reason though I left one of the NMTs switched on accidentally last night , and got the .1, .2 and .3 logs also attached. As you can see it is looping in some way as the logs overflow every couple of hours or so. the screen was showing the screensaver. Oddly it doesn't seem to be looping like this after I restarted as above

The only line not commented out in the startmeup file is "/etc/mvpmc/mvpmcx2 &" - ie no command line parameters

Those logs are normal. I forgot to ask you reset your system to only AutoStart one MVP server before doing this test. Could you retry.

Perfect. I look forward to seeing the logs.
