script to play iso's

[mvallevand]

Here's the last chance

What you show as working shouldn't but did you ever try (I'm not sure the semi-colon has to be escaped or not).

mkdir /mnt/E\:
mount -t cifs //192.168.0.4/dvd /mnt/E\: -o username=guest,ro
or

mkdir /mnt/E:
mount -t cifs //192.168.0.4/dvd /mnt/E: -o username=guest,ro

Martin,
I tried the first option and it worked. I was able to watch a DVD on my tv through the pch. The only problem was that when I tried to play one of my ISO files they don't work anymore. I made no change to them. Please don't give up yet. I really appreciate you working with me on this, and trying to educate me a little also. Do you know why the ISO's would stop playing?

Yes, your right! Right after I sent that last message I took a look at the script and saw that. Everything works now. Thanks Martin for your time & patience!
My next project is installing a new Hauppauge HVR-2250 tuner card that I just ordered today. Hopefully that will work out more smoothly. Probably not though. Thanks again.

If you are going to be scanning and mapping digital channels for the first time, consider this good practice in patience. At the end it is worth it.
