Mounting dvds fails

[mvallevand]

You are going to have to power off the pch too so the logs close.

In those logs it looks like you went into the video library, but didnt play a DVD. You'd get this same look in the logs if you hadnt applied the patch that enables DVD playback support: http://forums.gbpvr.com/showpost.php?p=2...ostcount=2

I know I had previously applied that patch, but I did it again anyways to be sure. I then rebooted both the computer and the pch. I then brought up gbpvr on my pch and tried to click on the movie button. Still nothing happened. Here are the logs again.

Could you double check my lines in the script.cgi file

mkdir /mnt/\\\\192.168.0.9\\Movies
mount -t cifs //192.168.0.9/Movies /mnt/\\\\192.168.0.9\\movies/ -o username=guest,ro

my iso's are on the 192.168.0.9 in C:\movies
my pch is on 192.168.0.10
my gbpvr computer is on 192.168.0.4

Forget the above post, I changed my lines in the script.cgi file to:

mkdir /mnt/C:\\movies
mount -t cifs //192.168.0.9/movies /mnt/C:\\movies -o username=guest,ro

Now when I type "ls mnt/C\:\\movies"
I get the name of my iso I have in that directory.
But I still can't get it to work in gbpvr.

Your original syntax was ok and better. GB-PVR would know C:\ as a local drive on .4 and and not a shared drive on .9 but it proves the the guest account is working.

ls /mnt/\\\\192.168.0.9\\Movies should show you iso files.

Martin,
I tried:
ls /mnt/\\\\192.168.0.9\\Movies
But it tells me no such file or directory

[Blue Racer]

As a summary of my current settings:

script.cgi:
mkdir /mnt/C:\\movies
mount -t cifs //192.168.0.9/movies /mnt/C:\\movies -o username=guest,ro

Config.xml
<VideoLibraryDirectory>My Video's~E:\Documents and Settings\MediaMVP\Videos|My Movies~\\192.168.0.9\movies|</VideoLibraryDirectory>

This command in telnet shows my dvd iso's:
ls mnt/C\:\\movies

This command on my GBPVR computer in Dos shows me my dvd iso's:
dir \\192.168.0.9\movies

mvpmcx2 According to file properties modified last on 4/20/08
pvrx2 according to file properties modified last on 4/11/08

But I still can't get the ISO's to play in GBPVR. Does anybody have any ideas?

Martin,
I tried:
ls /mnt/\\\\192.168.0.9\\Movies
But it tells me no such file or directory

It won't work without making the directory and mounting it

mkdir /mnt/\\\\192.168.0.9\\Movies
mount -t cifs //192.168.0.9/movies /mnt/\\\\192.168.0.9\\Movies -o username=guest,ro

The \\\\192.168.0.9\\Movies is really just a folder name.

You new way of doing things with the C:\\ is not going to work

Perhars the iso files need to be in a sub-dirctory and not in the root?

Martin,
Ok, I switched the commands in the script.cgi to the ones you indicated:

mkdir /mnt/\\\\192.168.0.9\\Movies
mount -t cifs //192.168.0.9/movies /mnt/\\\\192.168.0.9\\Movies -o username=guest,ro

The command:
ls /mnt/\\\\192.168.0.9\\Movies
Does give the listing of the iso's

I also moved the iso I had in the /movie directory to /movie/augustrush

Does my Config.xml line look ok?
Because its still not working.
