DVD Playing problems on PCH and MVP - OK on PC?

[jksmurf]

I have a problem with a DVD that resides on my Hard Disk - I have added a path to the DVD to the Video Library.

MediaInfo Attached - MPEG2 Video and AC3 Audio

1. Logs will show I first tried it from the PC - Works fine
   
2. Then from the Popcornhour - No Go - Just shows the coloured board and goes back to the screen.
   
3. Then from the MVP - No Go - Just does nothing at all ???
   
4. I even tried from the PCH direct (I added a smb network share - should I need to btw?) - No Go. Same as 1.
   

I'm stumped Any suggestions?

For DVD playing from the PCH via GBPVR it is more important to know what you are using as the command to mount the share.

For the PCH direct the problem could be with share permissions assuming the rip was good and you have the entire VIDEO_TS folder.

This one is normal. There is no DVD playback support from the MVP.

As Martin mentions above, for playback from the PCH the shares you've mounted are a very important part of the process - and probably the cause of the fault..

OK, just wanted to say I got it sorted using

Not sure which one did it but I modified my gbpvr.cgi as follows (added red lines):

Code:

#!/bin/sh
echo "Content-Length: 29";
echo "Content-type: text/html";
echo "";
cd ~
if [ -f /etc/mvpmc/mvpmcx2 ]
then
    echo "mvmcx2 is loaded";
else
    mkdir /etc/mvpmc
[B][COLOR=red]    mkdir /mnt/D\:\\GBPVRDVDLibrary[/COLOR][/B]
    mount -t cifs //192.168.1.10/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc -o username=root,rw
[COLOR=red][B]    mount -t cifs //192.168.1.10/GBPVRDVDLibrary /mnt/D\:\\GBPVRDVDLibrary -o username=root,rw[/B][/COLOR]
    cp /etc/mvpmc/utelnetd /usr/bin
    ln -s /lib/librmjpeg.so /lib/libjpeg.so.62
    ln -s /lib/librmzlib.so /lib/libz.so
    ln -s /lib/librmzlib.so /lib/libz.so.1
    ln -s /lib/librmzlib.so /lib/libz.so.123
    utelnetd -l /bin/sh -p 23 &
    echo "Telnetd started on port 23............";
fi
killall gaya
sh -c /etc/mvpmc/startmeup 2>/dev/null >/dev/null &
exit 0;

and edited config.xml as follows (changed path to an IP URL rather than D:\ )

Code:

<VideoLibraryDirectory>FamilyVideos~E:\Storage\Videos|Archived Movies 1~X:\ArchivedMovies|Archived Movies 2~Y:\ArchivedMovies|Archived Movies 3~G:\ArchivedMovies|PCH DVD Library~[COLOR=red][B]\\192.168.1.10\GBPVRDVDLibrary[/B][/COLOR]|</VideoLibraryDirectory>

That will not work, you can't mix IP notation with D:\. You must have another share mounted that will disappear when you power off.

Hmmm it DID work ... but now it doesn't again .... ??? So what should it look like? This works too..

Code:

#!/bin/sh

echo "Content-Length: 29";
echo "Content-type: text/html";
echo "";

cd ~
if [ -f /etc/mvpmc/mvpmcx2 ]
then
    echo "mvmcx2 is loaded";
else
    mkdir /etc/mvpmc
    [B][color=Red]mkdir /mnt/\\\\192.168.1.10\\GBPVRDVDLibrary[/color][/B]
    mount -t cifs //192.168.1.10/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc -o username=root,rw
[color=Red][B]    mount -t cifs //192.168.1.10/GBPVRDVDLibrary /mnt/\\\\192.168.1.10\\GBPVRDVDLibrary -o username=root,rw[/B][/color]
    cp /etc/mvpmc/utelnetd /usr/bin
    ln -s /lib/librmjpeg.so /lib/libjpeg.so.62
    ln -s /lib/librmzlib.so /lib/libz.so
    ln -s /lib/librmzlib.so /lib/libz.so.1
    ln -s /lib/librmzlib.so /lib/libz.so.123
    utelnetd -l /bin/sh -p 23 &
    echo "Telnetd started on port 23............";
fi
killall gaya
sh -c /etc/mvpmc/startmeup 2>/dev/null >/dev/null &
exit 0;
