Cgi scrpt for mounting another popcorn

[dave.t]

Hi Folks
I was wondering if someone could help me.
I am after the script to mount one popcorn to another using the mount command.
My popcorns names are PCH-Bedroom and PCH-Lounge. Both have Hard Drives
ip address 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3
I want to be able to mount the video folder of either drive.
I am not having much luck.
Thanks for any help
Dave

You would follow the same concepts as mounting a DVD, and you should configure GBPVR to use the mount command would be

mkdir /mnt/\\\\192.168.1.2\\share
mount -t cifs //192.168.1.2/share /mnt/\\\\192.168.1.2\\share -o username=nmt,password=1234

Video from the local drive should be automatically done so don't so anything for them.

I know you use jukeboxes too and their scripts could mess up a permanent mounts.

Hi Martin
Happy New Year
This is what I have in the cgi script

#!/bin/sh
echo "Content-type: text/html";
echo "";
mkdir /mnt/\\\\192.168.1.2\\share
mount -t cifs //192.168.1.2/share /mnt/\\\\192.168.1.2\\share -o username=nmt,password=1234;
exit 0;
#!/bin/sh

When I run it I get the error
mkdir cannot make directory '/nmt/\\192.168.1.2\share':File exists

Any ideas?
Thanks for your help once again

Hi Dave, Happy New Year to you too.

I think that error message is pretty clear. I suggest playing with the syntax by telnet until you get it right. Things look close.

Note that the PCH was not designed to be a NAS, so you probably won't be able to stream and play HD video or DVD's at the same time.

Hi Martin
Using the mount.cgi file on the popcorn I get to see the folders on the screen

#!/bin/sh
echo "Content-type: text/html";
echo "";
cd ~
mkdir /mnt/share >/dev/NULL
echo "";
# mount PCH-BEDROOM /mnt/share -o username=nmt,password=1234;
mount -t cifs //192.168.1.2/share /mnt/share -o username=nmt,password=1234;

echo "Hit Return"
cd /mnt/share
ls -d */
exit 0;
#!/bin/sh

So the mount does work I think
When I go back to play the movie it still does not work. This is the command from the html page
<a class="playlabel" href="file:///opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/NETWORK_SHARE/PCH-BEDROOM-hare/Video/Comedy/13 Going on 30.mkv"
I dont know if anyone can help.
Maybe the share is wrong for the movie html code above?
I don't know linux but with a lot of reading I'm learning a little (more confusion than anything else)
Thanks for anyones help

This isn't related to GBPVR or mvpmcx2 so don't expect any more help on scripts from me (I said I was slowing down), but I would use something close to

<a href="file:///mnt/share/Video/Comedy/13 Going on 30.mkv" vod> Dave</a>

I think I have it
I forgot I changed the share name on my popcorn so thats why the movie file would not play.
href="file:///opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/NETWORK_SHARE/PCH-BEDROOM/Video/Comedy/13 Going on 30.mkv"
I will have to load all the html pages again but It should work.
Will let you know!

Sorry Martin for being in the wrong area
I really do appreciate your help.
I think I finally have got it.
All I have to do is add the same note in every movie which starts the mount.htm file which then starts the mount.cgi file.
I have tried it and it works
The Mount.cgi file is this

#!/bin/sh
echo "Content-type: text/html";
echo "";
cd ~
mkdir /mnt/share >/dev/NULL
mount -t cifs //192.168.1.2/share /mnt/share -o username=nmt,password=1234
/bin/mount /mnt/share /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/NETWORK_SHARE/PCH-BEDROOM/;
echo " Hit Return to continue "
exit 0;
#!/bin/sh


I will change a few more things later but for some reason it wanted the mount command and the bin/mount command.
I will try my third popcorn tonight.
I hope this code may help you or other people.
Thanks once again so much
Dave
