Advanced configuration...

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

Yeah it is..

I've seen in the script where it tries to load the config off the share. But everytime I try the mount command i get that same "mount error 22 - invalid argument"

You have now entered mvpmc share hell. "All your base are belong to us" (for stefan)

Seriously, this is the hardest problem with the share and why it is hardest to write up. The guest account is trivial to setup up on Windows by default, but you have done something to prevent access (remember guest is not everyone access) to your machine and you now have to go through the steps of repairing it. I can point you to some of the links on this forum if you'd like but it might be a bit frustrating. Why do we like computers so much anyway?

ahh, ok, send the links would be interesting.

I re-enabled the guest account as it was disabled, and explicitly added it to the share permissions and to the directory permissions for read/execute.

You don't need to enable the guest account it is the guest share that we are dealing with.

1. I would suggest that you ensure you have netbios over tcpip configured

2. The most important step is to make sure simple file sharing is enable. Here's a link to info on this.

3. You might also have disabled the guest via a registry change

After doing this I would reboot your XP machine and try again.

ahh, well that might be the kicker then, not sure if I'd want simple sharing on, affects to many other things.

[mvallevand]

It is unfortunate that Microsoft don't allow guest access in their domain strategy. However SFS is really not that bad in a home environment and it is certainly secure enough, the challenge is for people who must connect to other networks away from home.

I've updated the wiki with the information on Simple File Sharing.

You are welcome to leave mvpmc share hell now.

Is your mvpmc share on your windows server under "Program Files". If so, that could be your problem. Move it out from under program files and I believe the share will work.

Here is my setup:

Code:

dongle       = 11-04 version, located in c:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\Dongle
mvpmc share = g:\pvr\mpvmc   (put the dongle.bin.config here)

lines in config:
mkdir /bubba_video;
mount.cifs //192.168.1.3/pvr /bubba_video/ -o password=guest,rsize=34000;
mount.cifs //192.168.1.3/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc/ -o password=guest,rsize=34000;

mvpmc -a 16:9 --startup emulate --emulate 192.168.1.3 &

The wMVP boots up, loads the dongle, reads the config and boots right into PVRX2

by pressing GO-Back, I can fall back to the MVPMC menu.

I did not have to set any permissions on the windows box, simply make sure the mvpmc share is NOT under "Program Files".

[psycik]

Sorry didn't seem to help. I'll just continue with the web config

You have now entered mvpmc share hell. Martin

LOL .

Tell me about it .... (Mine's still working though :-) ) !!

Well just in case this helps,

I've a tftp server setup - more reliable than GBPVR was. In the DHCP server I use, I specify where the tftp server is and what to download. e.g. mvpmc.bin.3.3.b

Then in the tftp directory I have a mvpmc.bin.3.3.b.config file, with the following contents

mkdir /mnt
mkdir /mnt/u
mkdir /mnt/l
mount.cifs //10.3.160.41/media_u /mnt/u -o user=mvp,pass=mvp
mount.cifs //10.3.160.41/mediacenter /mnt/l -o user=mvp,pass=mvp


On the GBPVR box, I have created a user called mvp and with mvp. I have right clicked on the folders I wanted to share, shared them, and gave mvp read access to them. And thats it.
