Yep. I was confused since the save-as window pre-filled the filename as "mvpmc.htm"....

Attached the log-file, though I think it is of less value since I noticed that there was no menu option "emulate", so I was not able to start the MVP as a GBPVR-client. Playing the erroneus file from the file-system natively in mvpmc works fine; including ffwd & skip.

I'm looking at an alternate method of finding the dongle.bin.config file on a NAS. If you are interested you can telnet to you mvp, enter

nbtscan "the ip of your mvp"/24

If your freenas server's ip shows up I will attempt to use this share after the gbpvr share fails.

Sorry between

/etc/mvpmc/mvpmc and > /etc/mvpmc/logfile.txt you need to add whatever command line options you need.

Native mpeg playing in mvpmc is pretty solid even with bad time codes. Navigation is different though it doesn't use any gbpvr settings. One key that you might want to hit during playback is the menu key. I'm thinking of adding this to emulation mode.

Hi Martin,

Attached the log file. After adding the command line options, indeed emulation started and the video file did not respond to skip, ffwd etc.
Hope the log-file helps. If anything else is needed, just let me know.

Hello,

I gave the dongle another try today. Downloaded the 20070304 version from http://mvpmc.org.

LiveTV
- was able to watch live tv.
- pause worked
- mute and volume controls worked
- Unable to bring up the guide
- stop/back/exit worked as expected

Recordings
- pause works most of the time
- ff/rw/skip all fail to work (not even once)

Video Library
- transcoding a DIVX file, on startup of the transcoding gbpvr has a delay, the MVP shows the previous video until data is streamed. (minor nit)
- ff/rw work as expected with OSD "Forward", "Rewind"
- skip to the end of the transcoding paused the video properly and started up again once there was new data to be streamed

I looked at the logs and they don't show anything other than the socket disconnects so I didn't bother posting the logs.

Is there a difference in the way the transcoded MPEG2 and the Recordings MPEG2 is streamed to cause problems with the ff/rw keys?

I played with the dongle a little more. I hope it will provide some clues as to what is happening.

Started up a recording. Let it play for a little while then tried the ff/rw/skip keys. This time it did work as expected.

Could it have to do with the caching of the stream? It would explain why the transcoded divx worked since there is an automatic delay for the transcoding to begin.

After skipping around the recording, I hit stop. It came back to the start up menu instead of GBPVR. Hit Emulation, brought up GBPVR briefly then went back to the main menu. Waited a few seconds, hit Emulation, this time it stayed on the GBPVR menu.

Is there anything you want me to do to get you the logs that you may need?

Thank, John, nothing for now but I think this is a good start
one line especially

bps 16873 length -1753350208

shows that I do have a problem somewhere with larger files greater than 2,147,483,648 bytes.

I don't think its the cache because mvpmc doesn't know the difference as long as gbpvr can deliver the stream, and mvpmc can take up to 13Mb/s
It could be the file size issue because it starts off small and grows.

Quote:- Unable to bring up the guide
Do you mean the mini-guide with the green key? This hasn't been a problem for me.

Added: I think I know what you mean now, the mvpmc GUIDE key wasn't mapped to a Hauppauge key, it will be in my next update.

Some of these are too be expected I would like to see a log of the second scenario where gbpvr comes up briefly and then socket closes. That is new.

Thanks everyone.

John, I've got another binary mvpmc file I'd like you to try and I'd like to see the logs for AIRCRA~4.MPG to see if I'm on the right track. I want to see if the length shows correctly.

http://www.mvpmc.org/~mvallevand/mvpmc.zip

If that works, pause will probably work and some other function might too.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the prompt response. Will try this evening (i.e. in 9 hours time)

John
