Full Version: [LINUX] Can't get XBMC to use myth:// for MythTV playback
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Arch linux user here, my xbmc package info is:

Code:
Name           : xbmc
Version        : 10.0-2
URL            : http://xbmc.org

Have gone through the entire settings, add-ons and configured the heck out of this thing, can't get Myth working as a video source, and the Mythbox add-on gives an "Unsupported protocol" error.

Used this link: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Xbox_Frontend...deo_Source

I have the IP/MySQL settings correct as I use laptop and other PCs as frontends, and I even rechecked all settings (/etc/mysql/my.cnf, restarted mysql, checked mythtv-setup > local backend IP, etc.) but I can't get it to work. I use this when adding video source:

Code:
myth://mythtv:[email protected]

But I keep getting this: screenshot1 screenshot2

Here is some of the log with debugging on:

And here is shell output when running xbmc for what it may be worth:

Thanks for any help folks!!
Do you have your mythserver in the /etc/hosts file?

Hmm, which would need it, he FE running XBMC or the Myth BE? Or both? Currently both /etc/hosts files are nearly identical:

Code:
127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain   localhost HOSTNAME

Where HOSTNAME is the hostname for each appropriately.

Also, I am unable to find confirmation but I've read a few threads where it was mentioned that Myth .24 broke the myth:// protocol, which if so leaves this a dead-end for me at the moment as I'm using .24. Huh
Is 0.24 working for you guys on EDEN?

Livetv works from the HDHR through Mythtv, the HDPVR capture device I can play recordings, but not LiveTV.

/etc/hosts is okay

Confused
This didn't work for me on Darmha osx or linux.

However its working perfectly in Eden.

Live tv as well as recorded content.
@sulfie

Do you have a Hauppauge HDPVR?

Something is wrong with HDPVR on 0.24 and xbmc eden....
