MAC not listed in MVPSpecificSettings

[hakras]

I am one of the few who still has the original PCH/GBPVR setups with HDMI. I saw that HDMI is now supported for the new look/feel so I went ahead and tried to update my setup. When I go to MVPSpecificSettings in config.xml, I don't see the MAC address for my PCH. Do I need to manually add it? What do I need to add?

It should be there otherwise your previous experience would have been pretty bad, but I think you play your files in Swiss Center (this might make you change your mind!)

There's an example on the survival guide

Off topic...Do I need to Power Toggle when I'm done using GBPVR on the PCH or can I just power off the PCH ("Standby") and come back later to where I left off in GBPVR?

I don't understand, mvpmcx2 doesn't support standby or power off. The power red button simple takes you back to the PCH front end.

That's what I mean. I have a Harmony remote. When I'm finished watching GBPVR (mvpmcx2), I press the power button which shuts everything off (TV off, AVR off, PCH standby). When I go back, I am at the PCH front end. Will we ever be able to stay in GBPVR or have the PCH boot directly into GBPVR.

When I come out of standby from Swisscenter, it takes me to the spot I left off. The only way to get out of Swisscenter is to hit the "Source" button on the PCH. It would be nice to have this in mvpmcx2.

Stay in GPBVR no and boot directly into GBPVR only with a hard disk. I will be able to stay in mvpmc for the NMT (my other project) because it acts as a watchdog between GBPVR and the PCH and I guess I could so something similar on mvpmcx2 if there was an Exit or Standby command the GBPVR could send mvpmcx2

Also if you have the link to mvpmcx2 as a web service having this command in your startup script will take you back to the web services screen so you can get back in one key if you do power off.

export NMT_START_URL=http://localhost:8883/webservices.cgi

I think I use that to go back into Swisscenter, but I may change it to go back into mvpmcx2 instead. Haven't had to the time to test yet (work and school).

[mvallevand]

You have another solution then, let it go back to Swiss Center automatically power off and then you have the hot key back to GBPVR, really the same difference.

So I had some time to play around with the PCH. I have 2 Popcorn Hours. They are both connected via HDMI. One television is an older LCD and only accepts 1080i. The other television is a plasma and accepts 1080p. When I attempt to bring up GBPVR on the 1080i set, I only get a black screen. When I attempt to bring up GBPVR on the 1080p set, I get a small 4:3 window. Below is my config.xml. I changed the MAC address (paranoia). For some reason there are 3 MAC addresses in the list, but I only have 2 PCHs. I'm guessing that this is a resolution issue, but maybe I'm doing something wrong. They both worked fine before I made the new HDMI mvpmx2 changes.
