Some issues with Install

[jt25741]

I ran NMTInstall2 without errors selecting everything but installing NPVR, which was already running.

I do not have simple file sharing configured though. I went to A110 and setup a manual SMB share to mvpmc with my username/password. I connect fine to share... but nothing happens. If I use the file browser, I see N-PVR.html from the NMT. If I select that file I see on the following hidef looking HTML page.

N-PVR
N-PVR via Network Browser
N-PVR via USB

If I select any one of these with the remote, nothing happens. Anything else I need to tweak on the server side to make this go? Repercussions of not using simple file sharing?

Thanks for the help

There is a stickly link the the NMT Syntax check. Run it, and copy/paste the output into this thread.

There are ramifications to not using Simple File Sharing and one is you can't use the Network Browser. We will concentrate on the named share.

First you made the number one mistake in following the directions and that is you decided to not accept the default Share Name for the mvpmc share instead you called it PVR. With the linux-style editor you need to modify NPVR.html and change NOG:mvpmc to PVR

You also are running a bridge so the MAC the PC sees is not your PCH's. Modify the NPVR config.xml entry to use 687F745E7499 instead of the real MAC address.

In you npvr.cgi file, if you haven't already make sure you use the proper username and password

mount -t cifs //xx.xx.xx.xx/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc -o username=guest,password=xx,ro

Finally you are using 720p. The NPVR OSD that runs on top of playing video will look better at 1080 you can change that anytime.

Martin,

You are amazing thanks, that bridge! The only part I dont get is my modifying the share name. If I look at my PC, the sharename is mvpmc. I mounted that same share name via the NMT. The PVR name, in my mind, is a tag on the NMT side representing the sharename mvpmc. I guess this still messed things up, but this was the basis for my confusion..I thought the share name was the default.

If you look at the NMT Wiki http://www.networkedmediatank.com/wiki/i...hare_Setup you see that it is free form text. It is confusing because it is not the Windows share name. NMTInstall2 can't guess what you might enter so it takes the defaults the NMT software uses if you leave it blank.

Hello Martin,

Sorry to bother you, but I am still having the same trouble. I completed the steps above and still get "request cannot be processed" on the NMT

So I made the NMT named share mvpmc, and reran the NMTInstall2 installer, and used the bridge MAC this time at 687F745E7499.

I see N-PVR.html from the NMT when I open the share. If I select that file I see on the following hidef looking HTML page.

N-PVR
N-PVR via Network Browser
N-PVR via USB

If I select any one of these with the remote, I get the "request cannot be processed" still.

I did change the username and password after the install again in npvr.cgi

Hi,

The name is still not right. Now it is named mvpmc, did you leave it completely blank? You don't need to reinstall, if you don't want to edit the html file, instead remove the share and re-add it but make sure the Share Name is completely blank.

Martin

OK, I didnt get this point from the above discussion, leaving the named share blank on NMT. I fixed the html file to what I think you said and this is what it looks like now with the same negative result:

Sorry I wrote accept the default (which is blank), I see my screen capture has been deleted (on time) from the sticky. I will capture this part and make a YouTube video.

Back to the problem, did you edit the file with a linux editor? I can't tell from a paste, you'd have to compress it and upload it if you wanted me to check.
