I'm trying to set-up the following:
I've been happily using XBMC on a single Windows PC and a Linux Samba server for years already, but now I would like to add additional PC's. I figured that rather then using MySQL I would use UPnP, to avoid any issues with conflicting versions, etc.
However, when I set this up, the MacBook can easily access the library and see all movies but when I try to play anything I get an error saying it can't play or simply nothing happens. When I checked the log, I found the following error:
As far as I can see, the URL is correct, I can use the same IP and share name when accessing the same file outside XBMC without any problem.
- Media stored on CentOS server, sharing using SMB.
- Windows 7 PC running XBMC 12.2 accesses media through SMB and shares the library through UPnP.
- Macbook Pro, MacOS Mountain Lion running XBMC 12.2 accesses the library through UPnP.
