HELP - Can't stream TV, video, music on PCH

[sub]

Rats. The reason it is important to me, is that I have a daughter who is autistic, and she is fascinated by our pictures when there is music with them. I know that sounds sappy, but there you have it.

Its really Syabas we need to hassle about this stuff. Unfortunately there is only so much we can do without their cooperation.

The "ugly fish" screen saver method as I showed with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpKI36qYobA# does allow me to play a slide show over mono as well, and I could disable the Popcorn Hour background to just fade images in and out. You would just have to create an arbitrarily long playlist of your own images to display.

I shall keep hassling Syabas. Thanks guys, you are really responsive, and you have a great product.

I tried adding the popcorn hour's internal hd as a source for video, but it won't do it. I presume it's permissions issues? I am using the unc to get there.

It does sound like permissions. I know the default username and password for the nmt is nmt 1234 and I am not sure if it allows guest access. If it does't you'd have to have to either change the properties of the recording service to rum with a name and password or use some tricks to use a drive letter.

Also you might not get very good performance this way. GBPVR will read from the PCH via SMB and then send the file back via http. I have a way around this similar to the DVD play method, I just haven't decided if I will release it because of the permission troubles.
