I've been testing out Margo's Frodo Alpha 3 PVR Build (30/7), using the confluence skin. All my files are a local SMB network share and when attempting to play files via the recently added widget for both Movies & TV Shows, it fails to play with the following line in the log:

Code:

16:58:22 T:1132  NOTICE: Creating InputStream
16:58:22 T:1132   ERROR: CDVDPlayer::OpenInputStream - error opening [\192.168.1.65\Movies\Dictator, The (2012)\The Dictator.mkv]
16:58:22 T:1132  NOTICE: CDVDPlayer::OnExit()
16:58:22 T:1132  NOTICE: CDVDPlayer::OnExit() deleting input stream
16:58:22 T:2412   ERROR: XBMC.PlayMedia could not play media: \192.168.1.65\Movies\Dictator, The (2012)\The Dictator.mkv

When I browse to that item in the library view, I can successfully play it, with the following log message:

Code:

16:59:31 T:2412  NOTICE: DVDPlayer: Opening: \\192.168.1.65\Movies\Dictator, The (2012)\The Dictator.mkv

16:59:32 T:2632  NOTICE: CDVDVideoCodecFFmpeg::Open() Using codec: H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 AVC / MPEG-4 part 10
etc

It seems that the bug in this case is the missing second backslash at the start of the file name: \192.168.1.65 instead of \\192.168.1.65. Anyone else come across this?

Edit: This only applies to video files, the Recently Added Albums widget works fine.

FYI, this is still an issue in RC1, but is solved by changing the path from \\192... to smb://192....

Issue seems to be in confluence, with the 'OnPlay' for recently added movies/tv shows being:

Code:

PlayMedia($ESCINFO[Window.Property(LatestEpisode.9.Path)])

While albums use...

Code:

PlayMedia("$INFO[Window.Property(LatestAlbum.4.Path)]")

I know this is a really minor issue, but shouldn't they be consistent?
