On-Demand network share mounting

@xor
should work, the jukebox just needs to be on a local disk.

Hi Journey4712
Can you look at the following problem

The following error comes up on the popcorn screen after I hit the GBPVR icon
A white screen comes up with the following error
#!/mnt/syb8634/server/php5-cgi -qd register_argc_argv=1 starting mount wrapper

I hit return and it takes me back and if I hit the icon again it works.

It might be the fact that its playing a cgi file. It use to go straight into gbpvr before I put the mono wrapper on.
As I said it does still work after the error, but it would be better without.
Thanks
Dave

Hi journey4712 I just stumbled over your great thread and I'm hoping you could help me answer if the program is able to do what I'm looking for.

I have a internal HDD in my C-200 and a NAS server 4 shares. What I would like to do is to have a index.htm on the internal HDD with a link to the 4 shares. I have tried Kdoske index program, but it will of course only let me mount 1 share. Is it possible that this program will work to be able from the index.htm file to select the 4 shares?

I'm very new to this so hope you can help. Thanks

I successfully installed the mono.wrapper ver 0.10 Hopefully thats the latest version. I rebooted my PCH and when I bring up my YAMJ on the internal HD and go to a movie that I know is on a remote share. I get the same results. BUFFERING..... Could not play

I typically have to go back to source and click on the Share so it will mount it and then anything on Yamj from that share will play fine.


So,. Does this mono.wrapper require I delete my jukebox and rebuild it or are you just suppose to install it and it work?

If it's not gonna work is there a way to UNINSTALL it?

THank yoU!

Hmm.. 24hours and not a single reply. Not a good sign. So is the show over. lol.

I did figure out that you need to have the FTP server running on your PCH in order to get the Mono.log. I have not had a chance to get home and test this out but something as important as that should be on the first page don't cha think? I read that on page 12.

unfortunatly i'm not sure how it works together with gbpvr. the line being displayed to you is the first line of the wrapper script, so for some reason its being displayed instead of executed the first time through. Glad it still manages to work second round through.

@bjur
this program only works with video files. If your links point to the video files directly(not a folder or index.htm) then this will work. Anything else (jumping from an index.htm to a specific folder, etc) will not work with this method.

@dyson
would need to know what the log says for why it doesn't work. If it wasn't generating a log file before then the program wasn't running and the reported results are expected. As to the ftp server just about every user program(old school and new CSI packages) require the ftp server to be enabled if they need initialization at boot time. This is just something the various developers all silently agreed on after the first user package(telnet from lundman) for the NMT used it.

Thanks Journey!. When I got home I started the FTP server and the mono wrapper is working beautifully!. I even configured that config.php to start my YAMJ which was something that I wanted for a long time. I hated that the PCH would boot to the source screen.

Thanks again!.

I do have another question: How come I'm still unable to connect to:

http://ip-of-pch:8088/stream/file=/tmp/mono.log

I'm putting in the IP address of my PCH and it always comes up as unable to connect.

I thought it was because the FTP server wasn't running but now that it is. I still cant' get to that log.

Thanks for getting back. It's a real shame though

Hi Bjur
I used to mount my shares through a cgi file. Here are the links
http://www.networkedmediatank.com/showth...?tid=15016
and
http://www.networkedmediatank.com/showth...#pid240753
Post 88
The first one was mounting all my popcorns (3 of them)
The second post was to mount my NAS.
So Instead of calling a html link you could call the cgi file to mount the share and then display the html file.
Hopes this helps
Dave

@dave.t: Please read your PM mail. Didn't want to hi-jack this thread

Thanks,

It really solved my problem with 2 network shares on a NAS device which hold all my media collection. At least for the while it works fine.

I have simply installed it, without changing any other settings or my previously generated movie jukebox catalogue. And everything seems to work fine. Whatever file I want to play is first mounted via the respective network share and then played.

Only once I got the blue screen of file not playing when I first switched from my network share1 to share2 , then onwards it is working fine in mounting the share1 or share2 respectively as per the demand.

I just needed to ask that do I need to make any changes to the settings.txt and /proc/mounts.

Thanks.

Journey, what are the chances that ISO functionality is still on your radar screen? Are there any other options out there for those of us with VIDEO_TS folders or ISO images?

Forgive me if this is a dumb question but does the Mono Wrapper fail to play when the video source is a .ISO or Video_TS?

Iso and video_ts aren't played back via mono, but by another utility, name escapes me at the moment.

Iso and video_ts aren't played back via mono, but by another utility, name escapes me at the moment. You can tell which is which because mono gives you the buffering screen, while ISO playback gives you the remember to back up screen, before playback starts.

I haven't had any issues playing ISO's or Video_TS. At least that I can think of. Is this only affecting certain configurations or devices? I have the PCH A110.
