DVD playback not working....

[Barsk]

I followed Martins guide and added the mount point and mount command, but PCH just hangs when trying to play an ISO or DVD folder...

The folder is H:\DVD
The name in Video library directory in GB-PVR is DVD and mapped to H:\DVD

The script.cgi file has these extra lines (just below cd ~):
mkdir /mnt/H:\\DVD
mount -t cifs //192.168.1.10/DVD /mnt/H:\\DVD -o username=guest,ro;

If I telnet to PCH and list the files in /mnt/H:\\DVD all isos list fine.
But no playback?

Besides Martins guide includes an extra (erroneous) mkdir in the mount line. Gives a syntax error.

Could you duplicate the problem and upload your GBPVR logs?

Also could you tell me the mount command that is wrong so I can correct it?

Thanks.

I'll include the complete logs, but i think I found the culprit:

Somehow it appends "forcefailure" to the file name...

The faulty mount is in post #8 in your installation and survival guide:

For the forcefailure error you are not using the proper version of PVRX2.exe

The folder name for my mount is "My DVD Collection" so I think it is alright.

Strange, I thought I had taken the latest patched version. I'll look into that.

The folder name for my mount is "My DVD Collection" so I think it is alright.

That is not the problem, it is the "mkdir" that is in the middle of the command (in bold below):

mount -t cifs //mydvd_IP/dvds mkdir /mnt/D:\\My\ DVD\ Collection -o username=guest,ro

Hard to spot isn't it?

EDIT: Found the right version, strange that I missed it! Now it works perfectly!!

Thanks I fixed the mount command. Also my recommended update link was older than sub's patch for ISO files which probably caused the problem, now they are the same, but I can't guarantee I will always point to the latest and greatest from sub.

I had seen that post earlier before I started to put things together so I thought I had already taken that version, but I hadn't. I had only read the text obviously. Too much in my head right now...

I could only recommend having a common place for all related PCH stuff, why not the Wiki
Should be easier to maintain for you and Sub I think.
