script to play iso's

[Blue Racer]

Changing the user name to root didn't work. Any other ideas?

[mvallevand]

One more try and then I give up. While it is working give me a telnet capture showing the output of mount (with no options) and then the output when it doesn't, also include
gbpvr.cgi

I got it working now. I changed the username to root like you said and then changed the "ro" option to "rw".
The only part that needs fixing now is the playing of a dvd. I have attached the telnet log with the commands that you told me about previously.
Here is the line in browser.cgi that relates to the dvd:
mkdir /mnt/\\E\:\\
mount -t cifs //192.168.0.4/dvd /mnt/\\E\:\\ -o username=root,rw

the line in the gbpvr config for playing the dvd is: \\192.168.0.4\dvd

[mvallevand]

Good, it will always be username and rw/ro problems because those are in user control.

In that log what I look at is

Starting to play audio file '\\192.168.0.4\dvd\video_ts\VIDEO_TS.IFO'
check file .IFO
\E:\ \\192.168.0.4\dvd
\\192.168.0.4\Movies \\192.168.0.4\dvd
\\192.168.0.4\Videos \\192.168.0.4\dvd

The left side is the mnt point the right is how you access it in GBPVR but you have no matches.

Note you have configured GBPVR to go via a share and not to E: directly so you need a /mnt/\\\\192.168.0.4\\dvd . Alternatively I'd say to access your DVD through the E: drive directly but don't add the trailing back slashes

mkdir /mnt/\\E\:
and then the mount (why did you create a r/w share?)
mount -t cifs //192.168.0.4/dvd /mnt/\\E\: -o username=root,rw

Martin,
I think I have it set-up exactly like you suggested, but it still doesn't work.
I checked the log file out and those lines still don't match exactly. I have included the whole log if you need it.

Starting to play audio file 'E:\\video_ts\VIDEO_TS.IFO'
check file .IFO
\E: E:\
\\192.168.0.4\Movies E:\
\\192.168.0.4\Videos E:\

What do you mean about the r/w share? The share permissions? How should it be set-up?

[mvallevand]

My logic on the PCH isn't right for the PCH I guess I special case the root folder. Add the \\ to the end of the mkdir and mount and leave the GBPVR side alone and you should be set. I'm not sure you will be able to stream you DVD drive fast enough but it will be an interesting test.

For the share when you created the dvd share since it can't be written to I thought there might be problems, but if the mount is take I guess not. Nothing in the mvpmcx2 client requires a rw share so when you create it giving guest ro should work fine.

Martin,
I made the changes. It appears the two directories agree, but the telnet log indicates "Mismatched directory. Why would that be? Also, do I have to share the Video_ts directory of my dvd drive also, or just the actual drive. I tried to share the video_ts directory but it said "You do not have permission to share or stop sharing this folder". Not sure why as I am logged on as administrator.


Starting to play audio file 'E:\\video_ts\VIDEO_TS.IFO'
check file .IFO
E:\ E:\
Mismatched directory
\\192.168.0.4\Movies E:\
\\192.168.0.4\Videos E:\

Update: I had removed front slashes but have now put them backed. The line above now reads \E:\ E:\ . No mismatched directory message. But it still doesn't work.

Starting to play audio file 'E:\\video_ts\VIDEO_TS.IFO'
check file .IFO
E:\ E:\
Mismatched directory

Mismatched directory means my original suggestion to not use trailing backslash is correct. What is now looking to be odd is the \\ at the beginning of the filename from GBPVR. sub might need to look at at. If you want to try a test burn a dvd with video_ts and audio_ts one not in the root directory.

I was able to duplicate this with the use of the subst command GBPVR sends a bad filename if the files are in the root and not a sub folder. The on screen selection is also .dvd rather than folder.dvd

Martin,
I don't think I explained my self clearly in my previous post. When I got the "Mismatched Directory" error I had added the trailing back slashes, but also I removed the front slashes. I did this because I saw that before I removed the front slashes the log file showed:
Starting to play audio file 'E:\\video_ts\VIDEO_TS.IFO'
check file .IFO
\E: E:\

But after I removed the front slashes it showed:
Starting to play audio file 'E:\\video_ts\VIDEO_TS.IFO'
check file .IFO
E:\ E:\
Mismatched directory

I didn't think the \E: and E:\ matched. When I added the front slashes back the "Mismatched Directory" error went away.

In my old WinXP system I had this working. The lines in the browser.cgi file were:
mkdir /mnt/\\E\:\\
mount -t cifs //192.168.0.4/dvd /mnt/\\E\:\\ -o username=guest,ro
