Today things went better with testing then expected, and now I am ready to begin a wider public release. To get an idea of what to expect, check out this earlier thread http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=41809 if you haven't already
Upgrade Installation
- Download and replace mvpmcx2 with this new version http://www.mvpmc.org/~mvallevand/mvpmcx2l.7 Update May 24
- Update GB-PVR with the attached files from sub
- Change the MVPClientType in config.xml to PCH2
Right now this is an upgrade only a full install guide will follow, probably with the next new GB-PVR version. If you haven't installed mvpmcx2 yet, follow the Dummies Guide instructions. Also note that HDMI is not supported at this time.
Note that OSD is a bit washed out in 720p mode 1080i/p mode does look better.
Usage
mvpmcx2 has always emulated an MVP but now this is complete. For those that haven't used an MVP before, the remote key reference is here http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Manua...dReference The names on the remote keys are a little different as follows
Angle = Record
Source = Menu
Return = Back
Next = Skip
Prev = Replay
Repeat = Prev Channel (Different then in the earlier mvpmcx2)
Additionally based on the tester's feedback I did implement the NMT Video Zoom feature to toggle between "Full Screen", "Fit Screen" and "Crop"
Troubleshooting
The mvpmcx2 client is now a full media player when running with GB-PVR so in the initial release I do expect a few problems to come up. Please try and document the problem as best you can and open up a message on it with the messages.
If you find a problem mpeg ts file, that won't seek, play or plays without sound (and it isn't a HE-AAC file), please telnet to your PCH and issue the command cat /tmp/dumpts.txt and copy the output into a message on the forum. Keep the source video file because I might ask you to create a 20 MB SD or 100 MB HD snip and upload it to a free site like megaupload or rapidshare and provide a link.
One caution is that if the file time isn't very representative of the file, there probably are multiple timelines in the file so skipping won't work, but it might play and you might be able to use FF/RW through the file. I feel the best solution for these is to use TSMuXeR from http://smlabs.net/tsmuxer_en.html to fix the time.
Finally a big thanks to Sheik Yerbouti, BrainStormer, BrettB, dark_half, tcmy95 and lehanne, who really helped me get to this point. Of course sub helped a lot and he had to make significant changes to GB-PVR for the NMT, which probably will help mvpmc users too.
I look forward to reading about your experience good and bad.
