[SOLVED] Channel Unavailable
#1
Hello - I'm setting up an instance of xbmc to work with a mythtv backend.
I can get it working on one single machine (running mythbuntu) but now I'm trying to run xbmc from a raspberry pi using openelec, at least as a proof of concept.
I've configured the ip addresses to use the network address rather than localhost/127.0.0.1 and with that change xbmc is able to make a connection and read the EPG data in LiveTV. However, when I try to click on a (any) channel, i get the error message "Channel Unavailable"

Here is a snippet from my xbmc log - http://pastebin.com/8pdePLCh

In particular it's saying "failed to connect to FE80::219Big Grin1FF:FE28:3CFF%eth0:6543 (101)"
My mythbackend is running on 192.168.0.3 and ifconfig -a from the backend machine shows that these addresses do match:
Quote: inet addr:192.168.0.3 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::219:d1ff:fe28:3cff/64 Scope:Link
I expect I'm missing something basic but fundamental - can anyone help me please?

[Edit: corrected IP address info]

Update:
I didnt find it originally but this issue was already addressed in another thread.
I removed the IPv6 address from the config and it worked

IPv6 addresses could run also. But here your network don't handle IPv6. So your IPv6 address is a local and cannot be addressed by other host without special mention. Generally all fe80:: ... are locales and you have to remove it from the setup.
