M43A menu's WAAAAYYYY too big

[NI2O]

That's a step forward, you have a share but you actually edited the Share Name to mvpmc (you were supposed to accept all defaults)

I would have done if the device would have seen my machine on the network but it doesn't. I had to populate it manually this time. No idea why. I Was seeing it last night. I bet the wife messed with it? Yeah, thassit!

If you still have a menu that is WAYYYYY too big, send your MVP logs too.

Nope, still not working. MVP-PVRX2.log attached (only MVP log I have).

Latest NMTchecker output for good measure.

I really appreciate you taking this time Martin!

It's hard to catch a falling knife. You have now modified the name on the NMT from mvpmc to GB-PVR so you have to modify GB-PVR.html to

<a href="http://localhost.drives:8883/NETWORK_SHARE/GB-PVR/gbpvr.cgi">GB-PVR</a>

Unfortunately you didn't send all the logs but that one is for the MVP. I am guessing you are AutoStarting more than one MVP. Once you have the share working turn off the MVP's reduce the number of AutoStart to 1 and try again from the NMT. Disabling the Weather2 plugin would help me too.

Aha!

It's all becoming a little clearer now. So the "Sharename" in the NMT is important. Your Dummies Guide states to accept the defaults but one would need to be able to see the share in order to do that. As I cannot see mine I had to populate it by hand with much guess work.

OK, so now I have it finding the share in that with my manual settings I can see gbpvr.html and in turn that shows me a menu.

Now something different is happening. When I select "GBPVR" from the menu it goes away for about a minute or so and then throws me back to the error page. I get the same thing with the "GB-PVR via Network Browser" only that is instant.

Back to the logs having done all your previous suggestions (MVP=1 etc) and nothing shows up.

"Lemme look into the config files" methinks. Look what I found in gbpvr.cgi!

killall gaya
sh -c /etc/mvpmc/startmeup 2>/dev/null >/dev/null &
exit 0;

Where the heck did that come from? I can only assume that the address came from the "network card" part of my FTA adapter. Turned off the FTA network card and corrected the file.

Lovely!!! Works like a champ. Now if only it would boot straight into the GUI ...

Thanks again for all your help Martin. Would you believe I'm in IT for a living? I insult myself sometimes

BTW; is there a beer token fund? I do try to bung Sub a few quid every year.

Great. Yes it is the Sharename that is the key. I will update the Dummies Guide since I just say "name", plus I reference gbpvr.cgi and not GB-PVR.html as the file that needs to be changed.

The 169.254.0.0 IP was configured by NMTInstall, it just grabs the first NIC IP and writes it gbpvr.cgi I will make a note that this might need to change too. This is all much more complicated the necessary if we could simply run applications properly rather than exploiting a hole in the NMT's browser code it isn't intuitive at all until the lightbulb moment.

If you need any help with the screen size let me know.

Finally, you might what to check out Jaggy's posts on the wiki about getting the auto load file running.

Just to close this out .....

I found Jaggy's Tips & Tricks stuff and now have it booting straight into the GBPVR GUI and also working with the Hauppage remote.

I am well pleased and so will the boss be when she gets home to find she's back in the land of Oprah etc.

Again, thanks very much for your efforts.

Now I had better get on with some work
