mvpmcx2 Setup With PCH

[jdconnel]

I'm new to a lot of this, and I still feel like I spend most of my time looking up acronyms

Here's where I'm at.

I had GBPVR running well on my downstairs PC.
I have a PCH C-200 on my upstairs TV, and just learned I can have it pull the TV Guide and functionality of it to my PCH (So Cool! I assume this is correct)

I installed MVPMCX2 via the dummies guide.
Seemd smooth. The first time I did it I entered my MAC address with ":'s"
(i.e. 00:06: DC:XX:XX:XX). I since re-ran just the setup portion and entered
0006DCXXXXXX.

I am running windows XP. The machine now has a shared folder (with the option for users to modify files selected)

On the PCH I have setup the display settings from Auto to 720P.
I have added a network share to the PC and directory.

When I navigate to the mapped location I see "GB-PVR.html" and that's it.
Running that .html I see a blue background with a menu. Options include:
"GB-PVR", "GB-PVR via Network Browser" and "GB-PVR via USB.

Since I don't have an internal drive or a usb, I picked the Network Browser option.
I get "Request cannot be processed"

So I ran the GB-PVR option.
THe first time I ran it I got a white screen with something about telenet and port 23.
The second time I ran it I get:
mcmvx2 is loaded killall: gay

What am I missing?

Thanks,
James

P.S. This has so far been one of the best forums in helping a rookie I've run across yet! You guys rock.

Sorry for the trouble, that was my mistake the C200 is not supported. Back to the laptop and EWA.

I'm amazed at the number of small things not supported by the C-200. I wouldn't think there would be that much difference....

Are there any plans to fix this support? (Crossing fingers)

[mvallevand]

There's nothing to fix, it's brand new hardware and the difference is huge, and Syabas changed their method of playing files. You're right the software changes in mvpmc are small and if this was a PC it would be simple, but I pretty much have to figure out how to do this completely on my own.

I do have a couple of C200 and I am motivated because I find I use my A1x0s more because of GBPVR. Sub and I are going to see what we can do for the A200. I expect GBPVR users would prefer the lower price, and I expect that the same code will run on the C200. It's a little early to speculate on what we can achieve.

Its interesting that I can map "http://192.168.1.104:7647/gbpvr/Manage.aspx" as a online service.
It DOES show up, but the browsing is sloppy.
Guess I was just thinking that I have generated web pages for my movie directory, something similar using the TV guide would be an interesting workaround.

For now its viewing the guide from the laptop when needed.
And by far its been the best program for my needs!
