[I'm new to XBMC so this is probably some obvious mistake.]
In the last few days I've installed XBMC on my Apple TV. Seems neat -- thanks!
I want to have XBMC talk to my MythTV .20 backend.
When I install a video source of the form "mythtv://username: password@mythbox", I always get a box saying:
Nothing shows up in the log. But if I say "YES", and then try to use that source. I get this message in the log:
With debug logging enabled there is a little more:
I don't know if it is related, but the log shows a fair number of messages like this one:
For the "mythbox" component, I've tried the IP address as a dotted quad, I've tried the FQDN, and I've tried the unqualified domain name. The FQDN resolves. And I've added an entry to /etc/hosts to cover the FQDN too!
I am running tcpdump on the myth backend and it seems no packets from the AppleTV when I perform these experiments.
A ping command run on the Apple TV can properly reach the backend. And the tcpdump sees those packets.
Any suggestions?

Could not retrieve directory information.
This could be due to the network not being connected.
Would you like to add it anyway?
YES NO
