Ah Here's The Solution:
cablemonkey Wrote:Well, through some investigation i found it is possible to reference NFS/SMB stored materials via URLs through an HTTP server. The format i've found is as follows:
<share> must be one of the pre-defined shares, and is specified like they show up in the PH UIwith the : delimiter. <path> is the path beyond the share, and uses the normal / delimiter.Code:(device::shared:path for NFS and device:shared:path for SMB)
** EDIT **
To play VOBs, instead of having a vod attribute specified in the href tag, add a zcd="2". So, an href tag to access a DVD backup stored as vobs would look something like this:
<a href="file:///opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/nas1:hare:flash:data:video/Ikiru" zcd="2">
note that nas1:hare:flash:data:video is a pre-defined network share, under which there is a folder called "Ikiru" which contains a valid VIDEO_TS folder with the IFO/VOBs. I think you also have to have already accessed the referrenced share atleast once through the normal PH gui, so it will already have "logged on" to the share (i believe by calling smbclient.cgi). I've not verified this yet.
I've not tested an ISO file, but i should have one i can test with tomorrow night (uploading to my NSLU can take like 2 hours)
So, knowing this, if we set up our shares on the PCH and let GBPVR know where they are, we can use smb/nfs shares now which will allow us to play ISO's with menu support. I suppose the option to use LiveTV/RecordeTV via share could be added too
