Problems playing from MythTV MythTV, Problems, playing

tom

Hi all

I have recently (today!) installed 2 machines with the intention of running them as my htpc boxes. One is purely a MythTV backend and I am trying to run XBMC on the other.

I installed XBMC from source using this from the wiki:

link From:/wiki/?title=HOW-TO:_Install_XBMC_for_Linux_on_Ubuntu_8.10_(Intrepid)_step-by-step" target="_blank">from--/wiki/?title=HOW-TO:_...)_step-by-step

and everything went well. However, playing MythTV anything is causing problems. Whenever I try to play something I get the quotlaylist playback aborted, Too many consecutive failed itemsquot; error. Of course, the Myth recordings are across the network. I know for a fact that the backend can be contacted over the network and the recordings played as I installed a mythfrontend on the XBMC machine to test things. I can also access the same recordings via a Myth frontend on my OSX machine.

I have had XBMC working perfectly when both the Myth backend and XBMC are on the same machine but have never tried across a network. I even tried a build from PPC but that didn't work either.

I much prefer XBMC for it's superior looks and functionality and would love to get this working but may have to fallback to a Myth frontend if I can't get it working. I have searched and from what I can figure out is the past issues don't fit with the very latest code from SVN.

If anyone can tell me where I should be looking to diagnose these problems, it would be greatly appreciated by the XBMC newbie....

Cheers
Bruce
