Running telnet.html from USB drive

[Azimuth]

I didn't answer the question complete, the first script does have to run once after plugging in the PCH, but it is not telnet running that I want to use as a test to launch mvpmcx2.

thanks for clearing that up,
I guess what I'm looking for is an all in one cgi script so that I can just have an autoforwarder in index.htm.

pBS,

Is it possible that you can share your script.cgi? I modified my script for harddrive and USB but I was not able to get telnet or PVRX2.exe to run.

Thanks.

it is tricky...i can only get the regular version to run...not the plugin version..
i actually put all mine in the ftpserver startup but quickly found that to be annoying..
i'm trying to work out some things to have it on int. harddrive so sometime soon i'll post if i get a good one going...i did get it to a one click solution eventually tho..even autostart..[but that needs some sort of timeout/skip funct.]

having problems with the scripts, i think it's a permissions thing..new to linux..
[permissions get lost unzipping from a windows box]
i think i need to find out how to untar from telnet...

i saw a post about the permissions needed somewhere...grr..can't find it now..
finally got the beta firmware up and running too..wondering if that's the problem..
i'm sure he'll beat me to the punch tho...lol

If you put a redirector with httprefresh in index.htm on a flash drive, you can have it run that automatically.. the problem I have is getting the combined cgi script to run.

If you put a redirector with httprefresh in index.htm

I didn't even try that because I didn't think it would work on the PCH. So, META tags work?!?

[pBS]

i just combined the scripts together for one, and just telnet the other...
works fine from share, but from drives it gets interesting...

just replaced the drive i have in it so shouldn't be long...
plus i just saw the upgraded gbpvr.. so i'll be upgrading that tonight...

when I combine the scripts together it gets mid way through the cgi script and just stops.

[pBS]

here's my usb combined script...
[save as gbpvr.cgi]

Code:

#!/bin/sh

echo "Content-Length: 80";
echo "Content-type: text/html";
echo "";

cd ~
mkdir /etc/mvpmc >/dev/NULL
echo "";

if [ -f /etc/mvpmc/mvpmcx2 ]
  then
  echo "Already Connected!";
else  
   mount --bind  /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/USB_DRIVE_A-1/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc
   #mount -t cifs //x.x.x.x/MVPMC /etc/mvpmc -o username=guest,ro;
   cp /etc/mvpmc/utelnetd /usr/bin;
   chmod 777 /etc/mvpmc/*;
   utelnetd -l /bin/sh -p 23 &
   ln -s /lib/librmjpeg.so /lib/libjpeg.so.62
   ln -s /lib/librmzlib.so /lib/libz.so
   ln -s /lib/librmzlib.so /lib/libz.so.1
   ln -s /lib/librmzlib.so /lib/libz.so.123
   echo "Telnetd started on port 23............";
fi

killall gaya
sh -c /etc/mvpmc/startmeup 2>/dev/null >/dev/null &

script.cgi:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

echo "Content-Length: 29";
echo "Content-type: text/html";
echo "";

cd ~
mkdir /etc/mvpmc >/dev/NULL
mount --bind /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/USB_DRIVE_A-1/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc
#mount -t cifs //xx.xx.xx.xx/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc -o username=guest,ro;
cp /etc/mvpmc/utelnetd /usr/bin;
utelnetd -l /bin/sh -p 23 &
ln -s /lib/librmjpeg.so /lib/libjpeg.so.62
ln -s /lib/librmzlib.so /lib/libz.so
ln -s /lib/librmzlib.so /lib/libz.so.1
ln -s /lib/librmzlib.so /lib/libz.so.123
echo "Telnetd started on port 23............";
exit 0;

and index.htm: [put in root of drive for autostart]

Code:

un-'<!--' the meta-refresh tag at beginning for instant load with no clicks..

these assume all files in USB_DRIVE_A-1\mvpmc\
mvpmcx2
startmeup <- !Don't forget to edit for your tv!
utelnetd
gbpvr.cgi
script.cgi
gbpvr.png

same thing for internal drive, just replace all USB_DRIVE_A-1 with HARD_DISK

EDIT: added HOME key for browsing drive if this is used as index.htm in root.. Added background .png and link to browser.

[Azimuth]

Thanks for the cgi script.
here is my index.htm for use with your cgi script.

Code:

<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=script.cgi">
</head>

I put the index.htm in the root of the usb drive along with script.cgi containing the combined script.

The rest of the files are in the mvpmc sub folder.

[pBS]

ahh, but what if you have files on that drive? you can't browse them anymore..
that's why added the home button option...plus a short timeout for autoload...
that way you can still watch local files when not connected to gbpvr system..
otherwise it loads in a few secs or with single click, immediately...
all the options at once...lol

i'm going to use mine as a bring-along HD box, so need some way to access those files when on road...


anybody got any sweet tile-able backgrounds for the telnet page?
