Something old, something new..

For that real feel of MVP emulation, if you who have the newer Hauppauge remote and wished it worked with the PCH, well now it can.

Installation

Place the lircd1 file in you mvpmc share and modify the initialisation area of gbpvr.cgi to include these commands

cp /etc/mvpmc/lircd1 /bin
killall lircd
lircd1 &

PCH Keys

If you need the PCH remote it should still work however the Hauppauge, remote will work in most PCH functions too. Here are some PCH mappings.

Zoom = #
Time Seek = *
Angle = Record
Title = Video
USB Eject = Go
Source = Menu

I haven't decided what to do with the Menu key. On the PCH it has a limited role in emulation as the Picture quick key, as the Source and Home keys are more versatile. Suggestions on mapping those keys are welcomed, we will probably need a new mvpmcx2 to make it come together.

Would this work with the eGreat M34A as well? If so, seems like it may solve the eGreat remote problem. Or, with an eGreat unit to work with, could a similar solution be developed?

Thanks, Martin, for your great work on this.

[mvallevand]

You read my mind, but I still can't guarantee that this will work. As it happens an M34A owner is asking about similar functionality here http://www.networkedmediatank.com/showth...?tid=22603 so if I can get his xbox remote working, the answer will probably be yes,

Nice! Thanks Martin. I bet that I'll be able to get my Harmony even better dialed in with this! =)

It's just like welcoming back an old friend

I have to agree on that....the MVP Remote has always "felt" better and seems more intuitive.....not sure why....but it does....and I like it....

... modify the initialisation area of gbpvr.cgi to include these commands ...Martin

Sorry, but which is the "initiliasation part? Is it after the existing cp line?

k.

Code:

#!/bin/sh
echo "Content-Length: 29";
echo "Content-type: text/html";
echo "";
cd ~
if [ -f /etc/mvpmc/mvpmcx2 ]
then
    echo "mvmcx2 is loaded";
else
    mkdir /etc/mvpmc
    mount -t cifs //192.168.1.10/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc -o username=root,rw;
    mkdir /mnt/D:\\GBPVRDVDLibrary
    mount -t cifs //192.168.1.10/GBPVRDVDLibrary /mnt/D:\\GBPVRDVDLibrary -o username=guest,ro
    cp /etc/mvpmc/utelnetd /usr/bin
    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
    utelnetd -l /bin/sh -p 23 &
    echo "Telnetd started on port 23............";
fi
killall gaya
sh -c /etc/mvpmc/startmeup 2>/dev/null >/dev/null &
exit 0;

The major part with the mkdir, mounts etc.

[mvallevand]

I've been thinking about this script and I suggest moving killall gaya from the bottom ie

Code:

...
killall gaya
if [ -f /etc/mvpmc/mvpmcx2 ]
then
    echo "mvmcx2 is loaded";
else
    killall lircd
    mkdir /etc/mvpmc
    mount -t cifs //#####/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc -o username=guest
    cp /etc/mvpmc/lircd1 /usr/bin
    lircd1
....
fi
sh -c /etc/mvpmc/startmeup 2>/dev/null >/dev/null &
exit 0;

Martin, I think there might be a hiccup in the lirc code for the standard PCH remote. The 6 key returns 5 after your lircd1 is installed. The Alpha values on that key are wrong as well.
