Installation update suggestion

[Questor]

After a long while working with the installation thread and other searches I've finally gotten the GBPVR to work with my PCH.

I suggest you add this info to the first post:
...Then you will add a section to your config.xml file which describes your own popcorn hour player and its video settings like so...

Code:

<MAC-[color=Blue][your PCH's MAC address][/color]>
      <MVPClientType>PCH</MVPClientType>
      <MVPWidth>1280</MVPWidth>
      ....
</MAC-[color=Blue][your PCH's MAC address][/color]>

You must find out what your PCH player's MAC internet ID number is and change the blue text (both the opening and closing tags) as in this example (your number will be different) <MAC-00642DB89> .

Here are a few ways to find out the PCH's MAC number....

I worked trying to get the menu to return after playing any media and it never would until I made this simple change.

That is a good recommendation. I remember thinking that when I went through the install, but I forgot about it.

I've tried to not duplicate documentation for config.xml and this setting has been around for years. Here's where sub documents this for the PCH in the 1.2.9 survival guide.

I'm really looking forward to someone doing a full documentation job on the GBPVR wiki.

I just got the PCH working recently, and I'm willing to start this. I'll post a rough wiki page in the next couple of weeks and I look forward to working with everyone on it.

To avoid duplicating effort I thought you'd be interested in this http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=35405

You and Ted the Penquin should talk.
