What Directory is the "MVPMC Share"

[mvallevand]

Hi, how do I connect to that share ?

When I from PCH via Setup/Network share try to browse to my PC (PVR150) I get "NO CONTENS FOUND ON SERVER"", Am I missing something ?

You would see something similar to this if the guest share is not set up correctly on the Windows side.

Hi again, Tried with an usb-keyboard and typed smb://pvr150/mvpmc tried with user Guest and no password, even tried with other users that is currently on that PC with no luck.

If I understand the concept you should
1. get a PC working with GBPVR working and enable NMT Streaming and Webserver
2. Share a directory on that PC sharing it as mvpmc with guest account
3. Unzipp the sample-files into that share
4. Do the editing of cgi, telnet and so on
5. From PCH browse to that share and mount it, then select it from PCH Media Source

Am I to tired tonight or what am I doing wrong. Trying to get things to work but my knowlegde isn´t so good.

Thank´s and hoping for a solution.

Yes, thats pretty much right.

Have you got another PC there that you can use to try to connect to the mvpmc share? This should let you know whether its a problem at the PC sharing end, or at the PCH end.

I'm guessing its firewall related.

Hi-Jack wrote a guide on setting up a share here

Note I disagree with Hi-Jack, I think Simple File Sharing should be enabled with the Guest account.

Hi again and thank's for the Guide. Didn't get it to work with guest account. Maybe it's because of different languages "Guest" or "Gäst" in Swedish (Firewall is off)

I have now created a user called pch with password pch on the PC and then I can from PCH add "SMB://PVR/MVPMC" with user PCH and same password.

But then the settings have to changed I think for script.cgi and telnet.html though my Media Source Name Is "PCH@PVR:MVPMC"

Tried to changed the following;

mount -t cifs //192.168.0.198/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc/ -o username=pch,password=pch,ro;
where the ip is my PC

Also changed telnet.html with;

<a href="http://localhost.drives:8883/[SMB]pch@pvr:mvpmc/script.cgi">Telnetd</a>
<BR>
<a href="http://localhost.drives:8883/[SMB]pch@pvr:mvpmc/gbpvr.cgi">GB-PVR</a>

Tried with %20 and without it.

Does not work.

Any ideas ?

<a href="http://localhost.drives:8883/[SMB]pch@pvr:mvpmc/script.cgi">Telnetd</a>
<BR>
<a href="http://localhost.drives:8883/[SMB]pch@pvr:mvpmc/gbpvr.cgi">GB-PVR</a>

Tried with %20 and without it.

I think this bit would still be:

<a href="http://localhost.drives:8883/[SMB]%20PVR:mvpmc/script.cgi">Telnetd</a>
<BR>
<a href="http://localhost.drives:8883/[SMB]%20PVR:mvpmc/gbpvr.cgi">GB-PVR</a>


ie, username/password isnt part of this path.

Actually also check the case. ie "MVPMC" and "mvpmc" are different.

How do you specifically set up a share with the Guest account? I just enabled simple file sharing (that's all XP Home allows anyway) & I don't have any problems.

I did check the box to "allow network users to modify files" (or whatever it says). Is that how you enable the Guest account?

This is more of a general Windows XP question since I haven't had any issues getting the PCH to play GB-PVR content.

A couple of things:

- The name of the share should be entered exactly as it shows on the Media Source screen.

- The guest account will not be language related, it is a special Windows account.

Hi, I followed the guide from MPCCLUB (thank´s to Martin) but could not get it to work. Don´t really know why. Running Windows XP Pro SP2 Swedish, no firewall

Enabled Guest account, changed from simple file sharing, created a directory and shared it as mvpmc with everyone read (standard) and added guest read as described in the guide.

Then tried to connect to that share from PCH without success.

Selected Network share from PCH and tried to browse, tried to mount with SMB://PVR:MVPMC without username and password, tried with only guest as username. The only way I could connect was by making a user with password.
