My setup:
HD HomeRun Prime
Computer 1: PC with Server WMC. XBMC on PC deals with Live TV fine.
Computer 2: Mac. XBMC can access the EPG of WMC, but when I try to play a station I get error "Channel Could Not Be Played. Check the Log for Details."The stations in question are all "Copy Freely" so there should be no issue there.

Any idea what's wrong? At one point this worked -- I've made a number of changes since then, so I would not be able to isolate a specific change.

Here's the log from Server WMC

Usually that error happens when the rec service can't write to the recorded tv folder. Can you verify that wmc is setup correctly and can generate recordings? Consider posting the whole log on pastebin.com and putting a link to it here.

You're right -- when I log into xbmc, I get some error message about the recorded tv folder being missing, but WMC is able to record properly, and XBMC is able to see the contents of the recorded tv folder, so I'm not sure what's going on.

(I will say that I use MCE buddy to take what's in the Recorded TV folder, strip commercials, convert to mp4 format, and locate the file someplace else on the system, but I think I used to be able to use XBMC Live TV functionality even after I set up MCE buddy).
