fine that it works now

I think it's better to use rw,soft,nolock

soft will make a timeout, when the connection is broken, this prevents a "frozen" filesystem

In most cases higher blocksizes are better, but it depends on which blocksizes are supported from server and client. I think your image (OE1.6) will supprort r/wsize 4096, 8192 and 16384. Try out witch options are better performing - begining with 16384. If you leave out r/wsize options, server and client will arrange the blocksizes automaticly

EDIT:
if you want that your dreambox will móunt the nfs share automaticly when your PC comes online you can use autofs

edit /etc/auto.network like this (customized to your share) -> auto.network

and reload autofs

autofs reload

or reboot the dreambox once

then you should find the share in /media/net/your_share_name

Thanks, I just used the automount editor and all is working like a charm now, including smooth 1080p playback! In case anyone's interested, I used:

wsize=8192,rsize=8192,nolock,rw,soft,tcp

The showmount binary should reside in /usr/sbin/.
Try

Code

/usr/sbin/showmount -e 10.0.0.20

and see if that helps

No it didn't. But I think I've figured it out anyway.

nfs-utils 1.1.2-r8 was used in OE1.6 and showmount seems to be not inlcuded in this version. Which image is installed on your dreambox?

Finally you can find out the correct share path in the nfs-server settings on your PC too ...

My image is EXTREMELY old - Experimental 2010-07-21. So that's the reason, most likely. But you are right - I looked at the server settings on the PC and noticed the path I was specifying there was a root path and so I had to specify G:\ instead of G:\myvideos. Now I can mount 10.0.0.20\myvideos just fine. So thanks!

By the way, which NFS mount settings are best for 1080p (up to 50kbps) playback?

wsize=8192,rsize=8192,nolock,rw

is good enough or should I change something?

Still:

root@dm500hd:~# opkg install nfs-utils
Package nfs-utils (1.1.2-r8) installed in root is up to date.

Code

... 10.0.0.20:/myvideos

I'm sure, that this is the name of a CIFS share on your PC. You have to use the absolute path to mount NFS shares.

After installing nfs-utils on your dreambox (if not preinstalled) try to find out the export list and the sharepath(s) of the NFS-server running on your PC

showmount -e 10.0.0.20

then use the shown path to mount the share

Finally someone with an idea! Yes that's my CIFS share.

OK I'm trying this but getting:

root@dm500hd:~# showmount -e 10.0.0.20
-sh: showmount: not found

But:

root@dm500hd:~# ipkg install nfs-utils
Package nfs-utils (1.1.2-r8) installed in root is up to date.

What gives?

If you are using windows 7, you need to create a new user and specify his username and password in the command.
In XP, cifs worked without user and pass but they changed it in win 7.
However, I didn't use nfs but the reasoning could be the same.

NFS does not need this. Anyone with some experience with NFS?

Thanks!

Hi, I'm experiencing stuttering 1080p playback streaming from my PC and read that switching from CIFS to NFS might help. So I'm trying to set up a Windows NFS server for my DM500Hd to connect to, with no luck so far.

I am using http://sourceforge.net/projects/freenfs/ FreeNFS for now but when mounting the shared dir manually via telnet I get:

root@dm500hd:~# mount -t nfs -o wsize=8192,rsize=8192,nolock,rw 10.0.0.20:/myvid
eos /media/nfs
mount: 10.0.0.20:/myvideos failed, reason given by server: No such file or directory

Also, when trying "root@dm500hd:~# mkdir /media/net/test" I get:

mkdir: cannot create directory '/media/net/test': Permission denied

Can anyone advise what is going on here? Many thanks!

I realize the system is Linux. Maybe it is not the right system for setting up recording locations in a satellite receiver box...

That's what I'm doing. Now I've rebooted the box and wiggled the hdd enclosure while it was rebooting and now my recorded movies appeared in /media/hdd for some reason, so I should be good without changing the paths. Before reboot they were in /media/dm folder though. God, if this isn't the most stupid setup system ever devised for any device! It doesn't work half the time.

My problem is compounded by the fact I have an external esata hdd that will not automount upon DM reboot and the system (as in this case) will often default to /media/hdd for all the default locations. How on earth it doesn't check that this, in the absence of an external hdd, is actually an internal flash location and wants to record on there is beyond me...

I know how to change the default movie location. Problem is the box just seems to ignore this setting and always looks into /media/hdd when I press the Video button.

Anyone knows how to change the location where my DM500hd looks for Recorded movies when the Video button on the remote is pressed?

For some reason it always looks into /media/hdd but my movies are located in media/dm folder.

Thanks!

Hello??

Would this be possible? or at least, tell me where to find it so I can edit it myself?

I guess it wasn't.

Maybe if you could send me an updated epgsearch.rss with the correct time format and date too? And also tell me where to upload it because I could not find this web server location on the ftp of my DM500hd at all...

One more thing. Start Time is in this strange format, for instance:

Start Time: 1284742800

Can you please explain? Also, how far ahead does it fetch the programmes? One day, next day, or longer?

Hi,

I don't like the \x3d in your link... it should be "https://dm8000/web/egpsearch.rss?search=test"
That could be the reason/solution for your problem ;).

I just tried it here and for me it seems to work (technically) fine.

Great, this helped!

But this means the links produced in WebControl are wrong for some reason when interpreted by Firefox for me (that's where I copy it from to paste into FeedDemon)... it puts "\" instead of "=" and alos it puts "x3d" for some reason:

Hello Reichi,

DMM support referred me to you for help on this issue, may you be so kind to address it for me:

I am trying to make use of my Dreambox (DM500hd) WebControl RSS feeds - where you select an EPG for a channel and you have the option to add an RSS feed for a selected title/programme. This function is quite undocumented to say the least [Blockierte Grafik: http://www.i-have-a-dreambox.c…_images/smilies/smile.gif]

I added this feed to my RSS reader (FeedDemon desktop app) but there's never any info fed to it from this RSS.

The RSS link from WebControl looks like this for example:

http://10.0.0.7/web/epgsearch.rss?search\x3dKnight%20Rider

Does this even work? If so, how?

Thanks a lot!

P.S. I also wrote you a PM some days ago but you still haven't read it!
