Starting with mvpmcx2 which install???

[bgowland]

The dummies guide has a link on how to set it on XP.

Ah sorry, I thought it was an NMT term - I understand what you mean now.

I'm looking through my local account policies and security settings now. Pretty much everything is locked down so I'll setup something specific.

OK so I've made my share accessible and I get a 'home' page with the film/music/photo icons plus one with a document on. Selecting that shows me the option for n-pvr.html which gives me the 3 options (npvr, npvr w/browser, npvr w/usb). Trying either the first or second simply tells me the request could not be processed.

A new copy of your syntax check now would probably be the next step I would think.

LOL... one of those 'logs attached' moments (I even had it copied ready to paste).

Unfortunately you have a case mismatch, so you need to use a linux editor to change MEDIASERVER:mvpmc to mediaserver:mvpmc in your npvr.cgi file

It looks like you have another problem once this works. Your NMT is set up for PAL yet you have the config.xml set for 1280x720 if you want to run at PAL change the 1280x720. Jaggy and I give some possible settings at the start of this thread

We decided to go 800x600 because of odd behaviour at 640x576 with NPVR and it seems to work universally with NTSC and PAL

I assume you meant the N-PVR.html file which was where I found the upper-case MEDIASERVER:mvpmc.

Having edited that, now when I select it I just get a white background with 'mount \\192.168.1.1\mvpmc is' in the top left hand corner. I left it for a while (several minutes) as I wasn't sure what to expect but nothing else happened. If I hit Home or Return on the remote and then go back and try again, subsequent attempts show a white background with 'mkdir: cannot create director' [sic]

EDIT:

OK, after reading this response to soccerdad in this post http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post402255

I edited npvr.cgi to use 'ro' instead of 'rw' and I get one stage further in that instead of it sticking at 'mount \\192.168.1.1\mvpmc is' it now sticks showing 'mount mounting \\192.168.1.1'

Stepping back and trying again still shows 'mkdir: cannot create director' however.

What to try next?

Sorry about that, I was mixing up two things you might need to do. As you found you need to edit the html file to change the server name. Now you are at the point where you are running the cgi script so the problem is in the script. I don't know how you added security but if you are now using a username and password you need to add that to the mount command in the cgi script too. Where it said username=root change that to add them eg. username=bgowland,password=secret

If that still fails and you did add security you can try copying all the files out and in (not moving) so Windows gives them the proper access control

Hi Martin,

The username,password combination did the trick. I was wondering if that was the case but didn't want to go hacking the files randomly. I also tweaked some things to get HDMI output working correctly at 1280x720 which makes N-PVR look very sharp.

The last step is to get it working with GB-PVR (which I'd like to keep running for a little while longer).

Going back to your comment in #2 of this thread...

...then run NMTInstall but only tick "Configure GB-PVR NMT Settings".

...I've tried this a couple of times and it just seems to pause without enabling the 'Close' button. When I click on 'Show details' it says 'Please update to NMTInstall v1.3' (sorry, not sure if that's the exact wording). Any clues?

Cheers,
Brian

Yes, I forgot I was working on a new version to take out the option of installing GBPVR and updates since they are no longer available, but I never finished it. If you copy in the config.xml setting from the MVP section of your NPVR config.xml that will be the main thing, but you also have to autostart and MVP server and tick NMT client streaming extensions in Config.exe

Finally I noticed in the syntax check that you run the web server on a non-standard port, you will need to change back to the default 7647. There is a command line override but it applies to both GBPVR and NPVR

Thanks again. Hopefully that's enough to get me going. I'll try later.

Do I need a GB-PVR.html though? (equivalent to the N-PVR.html that I see on the PCH startup menu).

Or is it enough to just make sure there's a pvrx2 MVP/NMT server running? (obviously without a NextPVR MVP/NMT server)
