Gbpvr.cgi ?

[reyn]

I would like to play a Video_ts folder and have found out I need to add some instructions to mount the share in Gbpvr.cgi but I cannot find it.
I have searched locally in the mvpmc and checked the network share of the PCH and the GBPVR program directory.
Please I know it's probably obvious but I cannot find it. I have GBPVR running on my WHS and loaded it from the NMTInstall program, mvpmcx2 I loaded using the Community Installer.
I cannot find the startmeup file either!
In the Video Library I have the .dvd file ready but at the moment I just get a few seconds of the Popcorn splash and then a return to GBPVR.

Good question. The CSI install doesn't use startmeup or gbpvr.cgi so you need to create a shell script /share/Apps/mvpmcx2/bin/useropt.sh This file is persistent and will survive CSI updates. You will likely need to do a test in the script to avoid trying to re-mount the shares.

Note if the DVD files are on your PCH they should not have to do anything, if GBPVR is set up properly.

Martin you are talking to a Windows user here, I will do some research to find out how on earth I follow your instructions.
The DVD's are on the Video share on the WHS.

Second thought, what if I just run the PCH Setup from the NMTInstall program on it's own?

No NMTInstall doesn't setup DVD's. What is your VideoLibraryDirectory line in your config.xml for your DVD folder?

<VideoLibraryDirectory>whsvideo~D:\shares\Videos|whsvideoshare~\\Whserver\Videos|</VideoLibraryDirectory>

I entered it as a network reference and as a drive both seem to provide the .dvd so I can remove one as they both point to the same share.

Try this as useropt.sh

Code:

if [ ! -d /mnt/\\\\Whserver\\Videos ]
then
    mkdir /mnt/\\\\Whserver\\Videos
    mount -t cifs  //xx.xx.xx.xx/Videos /mnt/\\\\Whserver\\Videos -o username=[b]xx[/b] password=[b]xx[/b]
fi

If it is a guest share omit the password and use your IP.

Thanks Martin, I will try it out tomorrow evening and report back.

This is my useropt.sh script.

if [ -f /mnt/\\\\Whserver\\Videos ]
then
mkdir /mnt/\\\\Whserver\\Videos
mount -t cifs //192.168.2.150/Videos /mnt/\\\\Whserver\\Videos -o username="guest"
fi

I placed it in Pch-a110\share\Apps\mvpmcx2\bin

192.168.2.150 is the ip of the whs
When I reboot the PCH and select the web service mvpmcx2 the screen goes black and it locks me out so that I have to switch off and on again.

When I remove the script GBPVR starts ok.

I have installed Telnet from the Community Installer and Putty if that helps in finding the problem?

Frank, first make sure you are using a linux compatible text editor and not notepad to make the useropt.sh file. Second the actual username and password are not in quotes that was my emphasis, I will edit that instruction.

I am using EditPad lite, I have now realised I cannot cut and paste from the forum posts, so I have set EditPad to Unix format and typed it in with the quotes removed.
I no longer have the PCH crashing but it now performs as previously with a few seconds of the PCH screen before returning to GBPVR when I click on the .dvd file.

if [ -f /mnt/\\\\Whserver\\Videos ]
then
mkdir /mnt/\\\\Whserver\\Videos
mount -t cifs //192.168.2.150/Videos /mnt/\\\\Whserver\\Videos -o username=guest
fi

This is what I typed in.
