Do you have an nfs share mounted? If not, you might want to, it will
make this easier. (Hint, in dongle.bin.config:
MYTHTV1=192.168.0.7
mount -t nfs -o nolock,rsize=2048,wsize=2048,tcp,nfsvers=3,hard
$MYTHTV1:/mnt/mythtv1/disk1/ /mnt/mythtv1/disk1/
Then, when you run mvpmc, add a -M and pipe the output to the nfs share:
mvpmc -f /etc/helvR10.fnt -s $MYTHTV1 -y $MYTHTV1 -T $MYTHDB -u
$MYTHUSER -p $MYTHPW -r
/mnt/mythtv1/disk1/video:/mnt/mythtv1/disk2/video:/mnt/mythtv1/disk3/vid
eo:/mnt/mythtv1/disk4/video:/mnt/mythtv1/disk5/video "$MYTH_DEBUG" --vlc
$MYTHTV1 --weather-location USCO0078 -c $MYTHTV1 >
/mnt/mythtv1/disk1/tmp/mvpmc.`hostname -d`.log 2>&1 &
#
You can probably leave out the --vlc from above (that's for playing
non-mpeg files, like .avi files from the filesystem.
You can experiment with the -r option. It just pulls files directly
from the nfs mout instead of using the myth protocol
for playback.
You have probably seen this already, but for more command line options:

Subject: [Mvpmc-users] MediaMVP and MythTV .24 for the first time.
Hello all, I am looking for some guidence. I'm about a month into
using Ubuntu 10.10 as a media server in my house. I have successfully
set up MythTV .24 backend on it and have gotten 2 frontends working, one
on linux and the other on a windows system.
My goal now is to use my MediaMVP (Rev D) as an additonal frontend.
I've spent the last 3 days trying to get this to work and last night I
was finally able to get the MediaMVP to boot off of a dongle (MVPMC.3.4)
on my Ubuntu server by using MVPVDR.
In the dongle.config I have it launch MVPMC using -s and also set the
parameters for DB, user, and password. On the TV the application loads
up to the menu and if I go to settings and MythTV I can enter the IP of
the MythTV backend (92.168.0.7) then I go back to the main menu and
select MythTV but no matter what I select I get a screen that says
something to the effect "Failed to connect to server 192.168.0.7"
On a side note, if at the main menu I select file system, then go to the
uPnP directory I can access my MythTV database somehow and watch small
files, not really sure how this works, but it isn't the solution i'm
looking for.
I feel like I'm really close and probably just have something set wrong
but can't find any additonal ways to configure this. Where can I look
for any logs that might explain why the conection to MythTV failed? Any
other suggestions?
Thanks,
Hans
