Martin,

Telnet is working from the mvpmc share. The only strange thing I noticed was that after executing 'telnetd' from the html page, the wait sign (or sandbox) kept turning and it never showed status messages. Ik had to press the stop button to return to the menu on the PCH. But I can reach the PCH with Putty and browse to /etc/mvpmc to list the files in that share, so it's not a problem. Looking forward to the next step!

Do you have the & ending the telnetd line?

Yes (copy and paste from your post).

Change Content length to 26 and make sure the file is saved in unix format (Line feeds, no carriage returns)

One thing I haven't confirmed was if gaya respected Content-Length. I hope not but if so I will see if I make a workaround by calling a third script.

I actually don't use the erlis method. I find that using that this busybox for telnet is overkill and I compiled a much smaller telnet and I use a full featured busybox for everything else. Enough geek speak, I will leave that for the NMT forums.

Well mark it as confirmed then. I tried it and you have to echo enough caracters to meet content length. I also tried removing the content length line and got the same issue.

Setting content length to 0 gave a request cannot be processed but still executed the script.

Thats perfect.

Now copy busybox26 telnet.html and script.cgi into the mvpmc share. Eventually script.cgi will do what dongle.bin.config is doing today and load the gbpvr client

edit telnet.html to look like

<a href="http://localhost.drives:8883/[SMB]%20SMURFPC:mvpmc/script.cgi">Telnetd</a>

and edit script.cgi to look like the following, use your ip instead of xx.xx.xx.xx

#!/bin/sh

echo "Content-Length: 29";
echo "Content-type: text/html";
echo "";

cd ~
mkdir /etc/mvpmc
mount -t cifs //xx.xx.xx.xx/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc/ -o username=guest,ro
ln -s /etc/mvpmc/busybox26 /usr/bin/telnetd
telnetd -l /bin/sh -p 23 &
echo "Telnetd started on port 23";
exit 0;

Hmm. I'm having problems with this, I also copied pasted, but can't get the same feedback as the USB Stick. I get the white screen, but when I try to run it, I get the standard PH error message.... with the "! triangle".

Is the "%20" correct? How about uppercase SMB? The extra backslash? It doesn't seem the same as?

smb://SMURFPC/mvpmc

There's should be nothing firewall-related I need to do right, it's on my internal network? The mvp is on the same subnet and that works...

btw are hostnames supported rather than xx.xx.xx.xx, I used Tomato in my Router to assign Hostnames to Static (reserved) IP's.

You can confirm the path name by issuing

ls /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/

The %20 is the space.

mvpmc has to be set as your default media source too.

I don't know about hostnames working but you can try, noting that the dns that your pch is using taken from your setup.txt is this

eth_dns=208.67.222.222
eth_dns2=208.67.220.220

I thought you'd like to know where I am trying to take you guys,

1 - Start "mvpmc" configured in Web Services simply by hitting a # on the remote.
2 - You all know how to use GBPVR better than me so no instructions necessary.

3 To get back to the PCH hit power off.

At what point should I issue this, and from where? Putty?

The %20 is the space.

Yeah I know, just wanted to make sure it MUST BE a space.

mvpmc has to be set as your default media source too..

Um ... how do I do this? :confused:
