New alpha dongle Sept 30 '08

[mvallevand]

Yes it is November, but I have uploaded a "new" alpha dongle which enables FLAC and OGG support that wouldn't work with GBPVR. The command line option remains the same --em-flac which enables native processing of FLAC and vorbis audio files. To enable this in GBPVR make these changes to config.xml and restart the Recording Service.

Code:

<MvpTranscodeFLAC>false</MvpTranscodeFLAC>
  <MvpTranscodeOGG>false</MvpTranscodeOGG>

For those of you who have difficulty establishing a share or think that a guest share is evil there is a new config.xml setting

Code:

<MvpmcStartupConfig>mvpmc --startup emulate --emulate ? &amp;</MvpmcStartupConfig>

I would recommend changing --emulate ? to --emulate xx.xx.xx.xx to match the IP of your GBPVR server, and add --em-flac if you want it. The &amp is very important it is just the & in xml format.

Can I use this to do my multi-line configuration? If so how?

I suppose you could if it is properly url encoded xml, I never tried though, and I am not going to debug problems it might cause. For example I don't know how sub parses it internally.

Make sure you end line that don't have a & with a semi-colon which might need to be %3B and if you want the cosmetic line feed use to debug on the mvp use %0a. Too see how it works from telnet on the mvp use

cat /etc/dongle.config

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks. I'll give it a try after I have fixed our central heating.

Do you have to disable these?

Code:

<MvpTranscodeFLAC>true</MvpTranscodeFLAC>
  <MvpTranscodeOGG>true</MvpTranscodeOGG>

Hans what do you mean? Those are the config.xml settings to use with --em-flac but they default to false.

Ok, I must have enabled them some (long) time ago.:o
I've disabled them now.

Actually I am the one confused you do need to set those to false to take advantage of mvpmc's native playing.

I haven't tried, but I guess those settings are there for a reason.

It works just with the semi-colons:
<MvpmcStartupConfig>mkdir /usr/music;mount.cifs //192.168.1.22/USBDISKPro-0-1 /usr/music -o guest;mvpmc --startup emulate --emulate ? &amp;</MvpmcStartupConfig>
