Okay, I am working with the settings here
http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/mvpmc.config
The machine running the dhcp server and sharing files via samba at is
10.13.14.10 while the mythtv backend, tftp and slimserver is at 10.13.14.15
This is the dongle.bin.mvpmc.config
# Setup timezone
TZ=PST8PDTDT,M3.22.0/2,M11.7.0/2
export TZ
# Setup some environmental variables so we can use the host name
**HNAME=`mvp-sparebedroom` ; export HNAME**
# Set current time
rdate -s pool.ntp.org
# Setup location to save settings files
mkdir -p /mvpmc_media/settings
mount.cifs //10.13.14.10/mvpmc-settings /mvpmc_media/settings -o
username=mvpmc%password
# Connect to mythtv backend using Mythtv protocol
mvpmc -f /etc/helvR10.fnt -s 10.13.14.15 **-F
/mvpmc_media/settings/$HNAME.cfg** &
# Setup connection to slimserver
mvmpc -c 10.13.14.15 &
# Setup connection to view photos
mkdir -p /mvpmc_media/pictures
mount.cifs //10.13.14.10/shared /mvpmc_media/pictures -o
username=mvpmc%password
The problem is when this line
mvpmc -f /etc/helvR10.fnt -s 10.13.14.15 **-F
/mvpmc_media/settings/$HNAME.cfg** &
has the **-F .... in it, the mvpmc hangs at the www.mvpmc.org splash screen.
If I remove that section it boots fine. Which also makes me realize I'm
going to need to have a different dongle.bin.mvpmc.config for machine if I
want to use the hostname. I remember reading something on that on the list,
so I'll take a look at that. Is there anyway to have the hostname variable
take on the hostname assigned by the dhcp server? When I telnet into the box
and run the hostname command, it comes back with the ip address rather than
the hostname assigned via dhcp.
Comments?
