I may have an answer to the "no-show" of the file on NFS: Check the file 
permissions. It may be that you have moved it on to the share and that the file 
retained the original permissions. Even if the mvpmc does mounts the share it 
may still not be able to list the file if the share is not shared with root 
access set. 

As to the playing of the MPEG, I have no idea, sorry.

I have two questions, and I'm not certain they're MVPMC related, so sorry if
this is the wrong forum.

1)  Recently, my wife figured out that there were a ton of 80's videos on
YouTube that she used to watch in highschool. So, she's trying to figure out
how to get a copy that can play in other places than on the internet.  Well,
that turned out to be pretty easy to make an MPEG of those videos, and they
play fine in Windows Media Player.  I, on the other hand, am thinking that
it would be neat to copy them to a video directory and make that available
on MVPMC. But -- the video plays ok (sometimes it stops) and there is no
audio. I've checked the audio menu, and there is only one stream, and it has
the reddish square next to it, so I assume it's active (it's labbeled with
"0x0C", as I remember).  Any ideas?  Is this a conversion process "bug" (ie,
audio codec needs to be changed?)

2) To check this out, I copied another MPEG I had laying around out to the
NFS share.  It doesn't show up in the directory listing.  I power off the
device, and it didn't show up.  I rebooted it, and it didn't show up.  I
even checked the one in the bedroom (which had been powered off for a while)
just in case.  Nothing.  I'm guessing there's some funky NFS caching going
on?  Ideas??  (This is the only NFS share I have.  Should I switch to a
Samba/CIFS share??  Server is Linux, if that matters.)

Side note: links in /tftpboot are no good.  :-)
If you keep getting "failed to connect to GUI server" (something like that),
make sure you aren't linking the files. Make a physical copy.

Anyway, TIA!
-Rob
