spiff Wrote:this wasn't asked on random. the reason is that ALL the url's in myth's database are stored using the local hostname of the box running the server. if we can't resolve that, poop follows.

Ohh, I understand that it was asked for a reason. It is weird that this problem is only on my mac. Super user friendly my toochas..

Here is the log of the video playing fine through the Mythbox script: http://pastebin.com/m5a36757d

spiff has basically signposted the problem for you I think.

If the Myth machine name is "Samus" then this is what needs to be resolvable on the XBMC machine. This is because the MythTV server generates URLs that XBMC uses and it uses the local machine name in constructing these. As spiff has mentioned, if this can't be resolved, poop follows.

Try adding this into the hosts file on the XBMC machine

192.168.2.37 Samus

mythbox uses the myth api i believe, we go behind myth's back and read directly from the database. hence the difference.

Switching the name in /etc/hosts to the name of the mythbackend worked perfectly on my MBP. Thank you.

On the AppleTV, I was able to get the video to play, but upon stopping the video, I would get an "Exit Code 11".

I am using MythNetTv to pull in podcasts, and it looks like it is getting confused when trying to make the thumbnails. Is there a way around this? Mythbox and myth:// work on my MBP. Mythbox works on the aTV, I am not terribly worried about the myth:// support on the aTV right now. If you guys want to stop here, that is fine. If you want to crank away at the aTV I will keep trying fixes.

Thank you for getting that issue figured out. It is weird how everything else worked with mythserver in the /etc/hosts, but I guess it makes sense since you guys are going right into the DB and not using the API

for crashes (exit code ##), the crashreporter log is more helpful.

I see a nitotv crash, one xbmc crash and two mythbox crashes. Unfortunately the xbmc crash does not have any useful info. Some thread died.

If you turn off create thumbs, does it still crash ?

Turning off thumbnails seems to have fixed the issue.

Thanks again for all the help. Now my wife can stop complaining about all he money I "sunk" in to the HTPC.

can you file a trac ticket about this. mythtv with create thumbnails enabled crashes xbmc, etc. include xbmc.log and the crashreporter log and cc "davilla". Thanks.

Sure can. I'll get it up later today or tomorrow.

the entry you put in hosts on the client machine MUST match the dns name of the myth tv server. The backend will give the client it's own hostname, and ask the client to connect to that.

Thus if your mythbackend's name is "Samus", that is what you must put in your hosts file on the client running xbmc.
Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.
Do not e-mail XBMC-Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules.
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first.
