run:

Code: [Select]

apt-get update
apt-get install pptp-linux

man pptpsetup

I would really appreciate any testing and/or feedback.  Unfortunately, I don't currently have a functional 0810 build environment to provide you with binaries, but if you have one set up and wanted to try the patch, I'd be happy to help however I can.  The patch and my instructions for setting it up are in the trac ticket http://trac.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/ticket/158. 

I'll check it out.

I would love to apply and test that patch if it isn't already in the latest release. I only use the script as a workaround until the feature was added, and provided it in case anyone else is as impatient as I am.

I would also love to see a way to add media to a "favorites", and sort media by other attributes such as year. Others already mentioned the juicier features.

 It would be really nice if there was a way in the web admin/media sync page to set type/media sub-type/file format on "all" files in a directory similar to the way setting all attributes currently works.  Not necessarily a dynamic thing such that any file put into a specific directory would automatically have attributes set, but for example browsing to a directory and setting every media file to type movie, or setting them all to TV show/title xyz/season 2. 

I do this already with a sql file:

Code: [Select]

use pluto_media;
update File set EK_MediaType = '5' where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%MediaDiskOnCore [29]/HiDef%';
update File set FK_MediaSubType = '2' where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%MediaDiskOnCore [29]/HiDef%';
update File set FK_FileFormat = '4' where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%MediaDiskOnCore [29]/HiDef%';
update File set EK_MediaType = '5' where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%MediaDiskOnCore [29]/DVD%';
update File set FK_MediaSubType = '2' where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%MediaDiskOnCore [29]/DVD%';
update File set FK_FileFormat = '3' where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%MediaDiskOnCore [29]/DVD%';
update File set EK_MediaType = '5' where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%MediaDiskOnCore [29]/Screener%';
update File set FK_MediaSubType = '2' where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%MediaDiskOnCore [29]/Screener%';
update File set FK_FileFormat = '3' where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%MediaDiskOnCore [29]/Screener%';
update File set EK_MediaType = '5' where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%MediaDiskOnCore [29]/Comics%';
update File set FK_MediaSubType = '2' where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%MediaDiskOnCore [29]/Comics%';
update File set FK_FileFormat = '3' where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%MediaDiskOnCore [29]/Comics%';
update File set EK_MediaType = '5' where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%MediaDiskOnCore [29]/TV%';
update File set FK_MediaSubType = '1' where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%MediaDiskOnCore [29]/TV%';
update File set FK_FileFormat = '3' where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%MediaDiskOnCore [29]/TV%';
update File set EK_MediaType = '5' where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%MediaDiskOnCore [29]/Cam%';
update File set FK_MediaSubType = '2' where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%MediaDiskOnCore [29]/Cam%';
update File set FK_FileFormat = '6' where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%MediaDiskOnCore [29]/Cam%';
update File set EK_MediaType = '5' where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%MediaDiskOnCore [29]/HomeVideos%';
update File set FK_MediaSubType = '3' where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%MediaDiskOnCore [29]/HomeVideos%';
update File set FK_FileFormat = '3' where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%MediaDiskOnCore [29]/HomeVideos/HiDef%';
update File set EK_MediaType = '5' where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%MediaDiskOnCore [29]/HomeVideos/HiDef%';
update File set FK_MediaSubType = '4' where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%MediaDiskOnCore [29]/HomeVideos/HiDef%';
update File set EK_MediaType = '5' where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%/data/pvr%' and Filename like '%mpg';
update File set FK_MediaSubType = '1' where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%/data/pvr%' and Filename like '%mpg';
update File set FK_FileFormat = '3' where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%/data/pvr%' and Filename like '%mpg';

select Path,Filename,FK_FileFormat,FK_MediaSubType,EK_MediaType from File where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%MediaDiskOnCore [29]/HiDef%';
select Path,Filename,FK_FileFormat,FK_MediaSubType,EK_MediaType from File where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%MediaDiskOnCore [29]/DVD%';
select Path,Filename,FK_FileFormat,FK_MediaSubType,EK_MediaType from File where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%MediaDiskOnCore [29]/Screener%';
select Path,Filename,FK_FileFormat,FK_MediaSubType,EK_MediaType from File where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%MediaDiskOnCore [29]/Comics%';
select Path,Filename,FK_FileFormat,FK_MediaSubType,EK_MediaType from File where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%MediaDiskOnCore [29]/TV%';
select Path,Filename,FK_FileFormat,FK_MediaSubType,EK_MediaType from File where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%MediaDiskOnCore [29]/Cam%';
select Path,Filename,FK_FileFormat,FK_MediaSubType,EK_MediaType from File where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%MediaDiskOnCore [29]/HomeVideos%';
select Path,Filename,FK_FileFormat,FK_MediaSubType,EK_MediaType from File where IsDirectory = '0' and Path like '%/data/pvr%' and Filename like '%mpg';
commit;

Then run it in cron every 10 minutes:

Code: [Select]

0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /usr/bin/mysql -u root < /root/fix_media_type.sql >>/dev/null 2>>/dev/null

Works like a charm.

Oh, and Thom, great work and many thanks for all you do. LinuxMCE is a lot of fun. I too am unemployed (8 months now) and have been spending a lot of time with it. I hope things work out well for you.

Ticket has been updated with the SVN diff and new script files. The diff and scripts are for both PPTP and OpenVPN integration.

This gets me by and I will hopefully be set up and working on a final fix with you guys by this weekend.  When I got my Thermoststs, I guess I thought the Orbiter templates read out the correct current temperatures when in the Celsius mode but when I saw that that also wasn't completed, I said, screw it, I'll stay in the crippled, Fahrenheit mode until we get it right for all who need it in either mode!

Charles

Thanks Charles, that's awesome! My wife would bludgeon me daily if I made her use Celsius!

Users / Re: Suspend issues in 810?

« on: September 23, 2009, 04:20:37 am »

I don't understand. Why would a device reappearing require a router reload? How is suspend/resume different from reboot? Anyway to prevent the reload requirement on resume?

Any progress on the thermostat? I was going to order a couple, but will hold off if they aren't supported in LinuxMCE yet.

Users / Suspend issues in 810?

« on: September 23, 2009, 03:24:35 am »

I was pleasantly surprised at how easy suspend was to setup in 810, but I found a problem. Whenever a MD resumes, the screen prompts for a router reload. I can't figure out why, but it is very annoying to have a router reload screen pop up while watching a movie when someone resumes a MD in another room. Anyone else notice this, or am I missing something.

If someone could get PPTP installed and added to the webpad image, I'll assist with configuration.

Installation issues / Re: DVD vs CD Installation

« on: September 21, 2009, 11:38:06 pm »

I need to start simple so I was thinking of just a "technology demonstrator" to show the wife - you know, play a DVD, watch a terrestrial TV program and turn a couple of lights off and on. Whats the minimum I need?

Peter

I notice nobody answered your question, so here you go.

You'll need a dual NIC PC with audio/video out (preferably with Nvidia chipset/graphics card), a z-wave usb dongle (from micasaverde), z-wave dimmer switches/modules, a tv tuner (go with hdhomerun), a properly configured network, and a tv.

Good luck.

did you make the changes in an svn checked out source tree?

-Thom

Nope. Sounds like I should have though  

svn co http://whatever/you/are/working/on/
make your changes, then cd to the root directory of the checkout ("on" in this case)
svn diff > your-patch-file.patch
drop the patch onto the ticket.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

donpaul,

thanks for the patch. Please re-submit the patch as a svn diff patch. Thanks

I don't see a way to submit a svn diff patch. Can you point me to it?
