Hi All,
First, thanks again for this great XBMC software. I am really enjoying my experience with it so far.

I am using Camelot Beta2, and I have been attempting to setup media streaming in my home, and have found that when using a WINDOWS system with XBMC, that when I attempt to configure the SOURCES.XML with a hostname, I am unable to connect to the server; However, if I do the same thing with the same Camelot Beta2 on an Ubuntu system, the SOURCES.XML with hostname DOES work.

My SOURCES.XML file looks like this. ( I have changed the username password and IP address to protect the innocent)

Code:

- <sources>
- <programs>
  <default pathversion="1" />
  </programs>
- <video>
  <default pathversion="1">Movies</default>
- <source>
  <name>DVD</name>
  <path pathversion="1">xbms://user:[email protected]:1400/DVD/</path>
  </source>
  </video>
- <music>
  <default pathversion="1" />
  </music>
- <pictures>
  <default pathversion="1" />
  </pictures>
- <files>
  <default pathversion="1" />
  </files>
  </sources>

With the IP address in the file, everything works great on both the Windows and on the Ubuntu system. However, if I change it to the following:

Code:

- <sources>
- <programs>
  <default pathversion="1" />
  </programs>
- <video>
  <default pathversion="1">Movies</default>
- <source>
  <name>DVD</name>
  <path pathversion="1">xbms://user:[email protected]:1400/DVD/</path>
  </source>
  </video>
- <music>
  <default pathversion="1" />
  </music>
- <pictures>
  <default pathversion="1" />
  </pictures>
- <files>
  <default pathversion="1" />
  </files>
  </sources>

then it ONLY works on the Ubuntu system and just indicates that it cannot connect on the windows system.

I have verified that the hostname does resolve properly to the correct IP address for all of the systems involved in this test.

I would appreciate your feedback.
thank you
Steve
