Hi ,

I'm adding a Webdav source to xbmc on raspberry pi. My aim is to provide a Webdav source across the internet (not on LAN).

I've setup IIS on XP, added a virtual directory, disabled anonymous access and only enabled basic access for which I have created a user and password. I have not setup https as yet because I'm trying to keep it simple. I have also signed up for no-ip and got myself a dynamic ip address name.

I can access my files on the webdav through http://myname.no-ip.org/movies and also through my broadband ip address. I put in the username and password and it works fine. I'm doing this using a proxy by the way so that I can access the ip from a non-LAN address.

So I think need to add the source like this in xbmc:

dav://user:password@myname.no-ip.org:80/movies

However XBMC cannot find the server. I have exhausted all references I can find on the internet. It works perfectly through a browser.

Does anyone know how to go about this?

I'm getting exactly the same situation if I try to add an FTP source. Works absolutely fine in filezilla...

Exactly the same with xbmc on Android outside my LAN so it can't be the raspberry pi...

I'm having the same issue while running IIS on Windows 7. I can curl and load the directories, but when I attempt to add as a source in XBMC it does not work. I've enabled anonymous authentication, and did not use a user name and password. I've also tried using active directory accounts that I've given group access to from my Windows Server 2k8.

The same accounts are able to connect to this same directory that is also shared via SMB, but I wanted to use HTTP for my remote machines, so I can just allow a single port inbound to allow connections to the server.

I had the same problem using IIS with directory browsing. I fixed by installing apache for windows.
