Hey All,

I've been using Kodi/ServerWMC on a NUC style device for a while with no issues. It's the host and main client. I'm trying to configure a Fire TV to be a subclient. I can get ServerWMC connected and it'll pull guide data fine.

However, whenever I attempt to launch any live channel, it'll display "Working", then error out saying no data was found, or to check the log.

I double check on the Kodi instance on the box itself, and it works fine.

Here's a snippet from the log after a failed attempt, any insight is appreciated:

As the firetv is non windows device, you'll need to specify windows credentials in ServerWMC (which the firetv will use to access the recorded tv share on the NUC)

Which tab am I specifying this in on ServerWMC? Or am I specifying it in the add-on within the client? (I'm not seeing a credentials option in the add-on, but I could be missing something).

[krustyreturns]

Specify it in serverwmc. See the Folders tab.

Thanks Krusty. Is there any issues with using the normal account on the HTPC, or do I need something else? (Is it the same as authenticating with a share? or does using the same account lock out one device or another?)

[krustyreturns]

The normal account, use the same account that serverwmc is run under.

[Silver-Streak]

Thanks a ton. Worked like a charm.

Now I have an Amazon Fire and a Raspberry Pi 3 running Recalbox that can both pick up recordings and view live TV in different rooms in addition to the main one. So fantastic.

Cool, glad you got it going.

I have the same issue but I am not certain i follow what to add to the serverWMC Folderd tab. Are you referring to checking the "Use credentials on smb://paths (Kodi)? I tried adding my WMC computers user name (I don't have a pwd on this machine) and checked the box but I still cannot play live video. I can see all the channels and when I try to load them I get the "waiting" notice and the spinning icon but nothing plays. I do have this WMC server working from a PC and a raspberry pi running LibreELEC. Please provide some further advice. Thanks

Its supposed to be your login name for your account on the machine that is running wmc (maybe that's what you mean by 'WMC computers name'?). I don't know if it works (that is: smb access from a non-windows machine) with a blank password. Maybe someone else knows?

Yes its my windows account login name for my account on the machine that is running wmc. I went ahead a create a pwd and added it to the ""Use credentials on smb://paths" but I still cannot get content to play on FireTV. Stumped !!!!

Then its time to post your serverwmc log (see the debug tab) after you try to start a live stream. Put the log on pastebin.com and post a link to it here.

Ok I think I did this correctly. Here is link http://pastebin.com/HiNAAHJs. Client in question is Kodi^localhost. First request around 14:25 was for Live TV, 2nd request was for recorded TV. Both did not playback content.

Thanks for your help

I can't open the log, looks like it was removed. You can try again or just send me a link to it where ever you put it (like google drive or dopbox or...).
