Syntax of Commandline Options in dongle.bin.config

[pz1]

I hasn't done anything before the alpha, but right now it might do what the Hauppauge dongle does from 0 no flicker to 2 full flicker. I don't have a tv that flickers to test. If you've got a flicker setting in flash it will use that too.

Martin, you may recall that I was the first to complain about flicker. You changed a bit, but as I reported that did not change much. The best place to see flicker is on the horizontal lines of the program guide. Later I looked at that with the standard hauppauge dongle. I saw only very little difference with the three possible settings.

Pieter I do recall, and I've asked Hauppauge for more info, right now I just don't have enough knowledge to help and I'm not even sure if flicker is the only problem. The Sudoku plugin for me is really difficult to watch on the Hauppauge dongle on any flicker setting.

To avoid rebooting I suggest this dongle.bin.config

Code:

umount /etc/mvpmc
mount.cifs //192.168.1.10/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc -o username=guest,password=guest,rw
mvpmc -F /etc/mvpmc/defaults --startup emulate --emulate 192.168.1.10 &

Martin, Syntax Q again:

If I wanted to (a) set SPDIF always on and (b) Set flicker to 2 would a change of the code above to this be correct?

Code:

umount /etc/mvpmc
mount.cifs //192.168.1.10/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc -o username=guest,password=guest,rw
mvpmc -F /etc/mvpmc/defaults -o passthru --flicker 2 --startup emulate --emulate 192.168.1.10 &

I think I mentioned before, PAL and Svideo are already saved (presumably by a previous Hauppage Dongle Flash (wow I am finally getting the hang this.... ) but SPDIF is not and choosing flicker is not even an option. I am never sure when I hit "GO BACK" into settings, whether it really WAS in SPDIF mode before, as it always reverts to stereo; I guess it's just unnerving not knowing ... :o

mvpmc -F /etc/mvpmc/defaults -o passthru --flicker 2 --startup emulate --emulate 192.168.1.10 &

That will work.

Remember when you set the setting in the main menu, you have to click save settings, same as with the volume change. You will know it works because you will have a file called defaults in you mvpmc folder.

Oh dear. :o Is there a "I'm a big dummy" icon in here, LOL. I'll try that ... thanks!

I get an error message "Config file save failed"
I have it C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\Dongle\mvpmc
It made a defaults file after I checked "allow networks users to change my files" but it's a 0 byte file and it still gives the error message...:confused: ...

k, I'm confused too. Definitely you don't need to create the file yourself, I suggest trying again maybe you will have another Bobins moment. If not telnet to your box and issue this

killall mvpmc
mvpmc -F /etc/mvpmc/defaults -o passthru --flicker 2

and try and do your save if it fails there should be an error message on your telnet screen

Martin,

Actually I never created that (0-byte) file myself tbh, it was created by the save (even though error message was there!) after I set the mvpmc share to "allow network users to change my files" (Is this correct btw?)

Telnet result attached. Error 195?

In any case the other way to make it default to SPDIF is just to stick it all on the command line as follows I guess. That works.

Code:

umount /etc/mvpmc
mount.cifs //192.168.1.10/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc -o username=guest,password=guest,rw
mvpmc -F /etc/mvpmc/defaults -o passthru --flicker 2 --startup emulate --emulate 192.168.1.10 &

Still wonder why it won't save config though. Share Path is C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\Dongle\mvpmc presumably no problem with that?

HtV the Routers are 3m above each other vertically.... :-)

With a floor in the middle I guess. However if it's a concrete floor with alot of steel in it you would loose alot of bandwith I guess. Did you check the connection with a laptop or something?

Thanks a lot. That shows the line number in errot

Yes, I was hoping to get the default volume going too because I know you wanted that.

mvpmc just sees the share name, so I highly doubt that is a problem. In Vista I wouldn't recommend this because of the extra security on the Program Files folder.
