Can I check for a connect.log using putty (what an odd name). Where should it reside?

ls /usr/share/mvpmc/connect.log

Here's what my connect.log looks like with your file so it must be a share thing

Code:

Connecting to http://192.168.1.10/emptypage.html?MyEvent
connect() failed -1 error 115

Could you try this from telnet

cat /etc/mvpmc/EventGhost.m3u

It should display the contents of your file.

btw, in files that are accessed by linux, should that be a single / or a double //?
IIRC I think we had discussion about these earlier and was wondering if it was different when mvpmc invokes it or when IE invokes it?

IE invokes URLs using a linux like notation.

Arrghhhh :o :o

The share gets me everytime. I made the EventGhost.m3u file OUTSIDE of the mvpmc share and dropped it in that dir. I always believed that any file you made and put into the share dir would inherit the same permissions as the folder itself. Not so, it seems. The FILE did not have the guest share permission. So I added it. The before and after cat images from putty are attached.

I still don't have a connect.log, but probably because nothing ran?

Yours in embarrassment,

Right, this is actually my http debug tool for internet radio, but it does a good job for all the http connections that mvpmc attempts now.

You will be able to connect soon I'm sure.

k. I updated the mvpnc dongles a bit because I built the source code to the mvpmc.org last night and your change is now in the alpha. Go Green will send an http://serverip/emptypage.html?mvpmcEvent http event to you. Note the change to mvpmcEvent.

I thought Go Green was a good message to send if you wonder why I choose this.

Cool, THANKS! do I need to change the file name or only the event name IN the file?
It's the 19 Aug 07 Alpha still right?

It's a good message, but won't go green turn off the mvpmc? (I'll try... I was hoping for * or sub's

pound/hash/octothorpe/number sign key.

Rename the event

The alpha should be the 24th, I haven't updated the changelog yet.

No Go Back turns off the mvpmc. I don't want to use a single key for this, it's not really general enough and I can't remember how it's used with the Hauppauge software. Since it doesn't go back to gbpvr in between it's going to be pretty quick.

Well it WORKS THANK YOU MARTIN!

But go, Green (Power button is a bit of hassle for me, I keep turing off the mvp!!)

I didn't realize that the power button was also green I don't mean that! Is the go bottom green combo also turning off the machine? If so more likely it is really crashing and resetting so you will have to describe exactly what you are doing, I only tested briefly in livetv figuring that was where you would want it.

Are you all telnet into the MVP how come you don't use this freeware program to telnet into it.. I use this at work there are ones you have to pay for but this one is so easy to use.

When I suggest telnet'ing into mvpmc, I mean the protocol not the windows application although for what I ask, the windows program is fine. If you look at jksmurf's captures he uses putty, which is the same program I use from windows, and I highly recommend it for both telnet and ssh but I'm sure your choice is comparable. For sure, the freeware choices are so good, it wouldn't make sense to buy one.

K, I've updated the alpha, it would crash if a/v weren't playing.
