mvpmc2 screen resolution / fine tuning

[jdconnel]

So after playing with my C-200 and realizing it won't work with mvpmc2, I bought a A-110.
Looks like the kids room gets an upgraded box

I seem to have everything running (when I tried to get it to work from my c-200).
I re-ran the setup and selected the appropriate MAC address.

I can run the TV guide, but only by going through the network browser, displaying the files and clicking on the .html
I am then forced to pick the GBPVR - via network browser (second option on the list).

The screen flashed on an off several times, then displays.

My questions are these:

1. Is there a way to set the load up as automatic? not have the select the html via the browser? I have mapped the directory, but that doesn't seem to do it.

2. Is there a way to not pick the network browser option from the menu, and load automatically?

3. Is the "no signal" flicking back and forth for about 10 seconds normal?

and last..

4. Is there a way to display the TV Guide better? It appears that the screen is to large to fit my TV (large resolution).

Thanks,
Jamie

Run the NMT Install check and post the info and we should be able to sort this out.

Not sure I ran that program right.... I dumped it to a directory, ran it, and I get:

I think you forgot to:

"To use it in the top left edit box enter the IP of your NMT or the hostname if you have a hard disk in the PCH"

Thanks... with the IP I get:

You have to edit GB-PVR.html and change

Answers

1. Check Jaggy's Tips on the GB-PVR wiki after solving (2)

2. Edit GB-PVR.html with a linux editor and change

<a href="http://localhost.drives:8883/NETWORK_SHARE/BASEMENT:mvpmc/gbpvr.cgi">GB-PVR</a>
to
<a href="http://localhost.drives:8883/NETWORK_SHARE/T.V.%20[Antenna]/gbpvr.cgi">GB-PVR</a>

Or edit T.V. [Antenna] on the NMT to BASEMENT:mvpmc

3. You should see a one time flicker that should be about the same as loading a video on the NMT when mvpmcx2 kills the NMT software and initializes itself

4. You config.xml might not match the 720p that you have the NMT installed as Upload your GBPVR logs and I will have a look.

I changed the .html in notepad (I hope that was an acceptable editor).
The name on the popcorn box is "T.V. [Antenna], but the share is mvpmc. i mapped that share by browsing to it.....
Either way, I changed it, and nothing seems to have happened.

Also, here are the logs requested.

[mvallevand]

You mapped by browsing the network but you did assign a name and making the sharename match is the difference between success and failure. The share name is the top edit box (shown blank here) http://forums.gbpvr.com/showpost.php?p=3...ostcount=3

Your logs don't show a connection I will need that. I don't know if notepad is good enough, but if you you can still connect via the Network Browser I guess it is ok. Don't use it to edit gbpvr.cgi it won't work.
