I launched his .install file and then modified the repo, adding chinook to the distribution line (which was empty) and everything is working fine now.

for the less techy or limux noobies like me could you kindly paste the contents of that install file here

thanks

i would like this information as well. i tried a few modifications of the install file, but i could not get the app to install ... then again, i don't really know the structure of this file, so ....

thanks,
sumit.

I asked over at the mceforum as well and of course, no answer. The guy that writes this is extremely talented, but it seems he has no time for support. I have had posts back as far as Feb not answered.


Ig i get the answer I will post here.

after some trial and error i got mceguru to install. here is the line in the install file you need to edit:

uri = http://www.mceguru.com/repo810/ chinook

i added chinook at the end and the app installed. thanks for the hint, faberfox.

I have problem with the server installation. I have Vista Ultimate 32 with SP1 and other updates found in MS update.
The install says: "MCE Guru Server can only be installed on Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium or Ultimate Edition." And so the setup fails.
Any ideas what I could do to install? Setup-file is beta3-3.
I have installed those DirectX Libraries and rebooted also.

I installed the Server component on the Vista machine and then the Client component on the N810 (after changing the repository address as posted above (and repeated below)

Web address : http://www.mceguru.com/repo810/
Distribution : chinook - this line is missing in the install file I guess.
Components : user

Now the MCEGuru SDL loads up the program - by it never connects to the Vista Media center server in any way. I dont see any connect button either in the settings or anywhere.

How do I setup the N810 to connect to the Vista machine running Media center over the Wifi network that I have ? Any settings to be done on the Media center side ?

Note : the MCEGuru server on the Vista machine does prompt me that that MCEGuru is started has found media (or something to that effect)

Hi There,

Very sorry about my silence I am unfortunately quite occupied in my private life right now

Thanks a lot for pointing out the bug in the .install file which didn't work anymore on diablo firmware because of the missing distribution name
I changed the install file on the beta download website a few minutes ago and tested it on the chinook and on the diablo firmwares : it now works fine

Thanks again guys !

Hmm strange... I personnaly didn't update my vista to SP1 yet.
Does anyone has the same problem ? perhaps I made a version checking mistake in the install package generation script.

I'll try to test it on an updated VistaSP1 system asap.

Thanks for the report !

Oh, and I didn't mention that I have also installed that "Windows_Media_Center_TV_Pack_2008_RTM". Maybe that messes things also.
Maybe I should have installed MCEGuru before those updates. Maybe I'll test that in virtual machine if I have time.
