Advanced configuration...

[mvallevand]

I got the & thanks.

Interesting to watch that run through. So where is that configuration writtin? or it it kept in memory?

It's "written" to /etc/browser.config but since the whole file system is RAM I guess it's also kept in memory which is why you lose it when the mvp loses electricity or a new dongle is loaded. Of course being a linux filesystem the file can aways be a symbolic link to a real file if you wanted it persistent.

Not sure if i fully get this.

On my gbpvr server, made the mvpmc share - given guest access.

I use a dongle called: dongle-mvpmc-20070830.bin and so have a config file called dongle-mvpmc-20070830.bin.config

The contents are as follows

mvpmc -a 16:9 --startup emulate --emulate 192.168.1.100 &

but from this point I'm not sure where to go. Also I tried the mount.cifs etc and it asks for a password on the guest account.

Any tips, or further docs to look at?

The config file must be named dongle.bin.config. The password for guess is normal, but out can just us
-o guest instead of -o username and you won't be prompted for the password.

The only instructions are on the wiki which I've asked others to update with their improvemnt, so far no luck.

Sorry to cut in here, but... say what?

Serves me right for trying to answer in the middle of the night

Getting the password prompt on mount.cifs is normal when you use the -o username syntax even for the guest user, but it shouldn't cause an error. You can avoid this by using -o guest syntax ie.

mount.cifs //192.168.1.100/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc -o guest,ro ;

For some reason I can't stop smiling when reading what you wrote.

I think the bit that confuses is when does the mount.cifs happen?? I know i can do it manually, but how does the mvp know to do this?

Still doesn't seem to like that mount command:

Code:

# mount.cifs //192.168.1.100/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc -o guest,ro ;
mount error 22 = Invalid argument
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

All you do is create the mpvmc share with a dongle.bin.config inside. The transfer of the dongle causes the mvp to load a linux kernel and the mount.cifs is simply part of the startup script. If you're keen here is what the script looks like

http://git.mvpmc.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?...ee/etc/rcS

The actual IP used in the script is extracted from flash memory.

Is 192.168.1.100 the location of your gbpvr server?

Also this command will tell you where mvpmc will actually look for the mvpmc share

cat /etc/tftp.config
