Hi,
I'm trying to set up my HD Homerun for the first time, but I'm having a little trouble getting it integrated into XBMC as described in this thread.
http://www.silicondust.com/forum/viewtop...sc&start=0
I've been using XBMC for quite a while, but when things didn't work straight off, I restored a clean system image so I could start from scratch. So from there I've...
Hooked up the HD Homerun to my router and plugged in one PC to test with.
I've downloaded and installed the latest versions of the HD Homerun software, XBMC, VLC and KMPlayer.
I have scanned all channels on both tuners using "HD Homerun setup" and can view them with VLC.
HD Homerun setup seems to have successfully generated the .strm files XBMC needs for each channel.
I've added the folder containing the .strm files to XBMC's video section.
My problem is this. When I try to launch any of the .strm files from XBMC, nothing happens. Well, not nothing, sometimes I get a "opening file tuner 0" message, then nothing. If I try enough times I'll eventually get a "Playlist playback aborted. Too many consecutive failed items" message.
I've also tried using an external player from within XBMC (VLC, KMPlayer) but didn't have any luck with them either.
Enabling the Event server in XBMC gets me (very) choppy audio, but no video. None of the other network settings appear to have any effect, except "Autostart uPnP client" which just crashes XBMC. What I did get in the end was really unstable and XBMC eventually stopped trying to play it, but it makes me think it's got to be a network setting I've overlooked some where, but where? I've never used the streaming features of XBMC before now.
If anyone can offer any advice on what the network settings in XBMC should look like for use with the HD Homerun, it would be much appreciated.
I've also saved the xbmc log file and one of the strm files if anyone cares enough to take a look, but I couldn't find where to attach them.
Any other info I've forgotten, please let me know.
cheers,
