Request 2: done but i see what the problem was now. i only entered the credentials in the right box but it somehow got incorporated into the path for the recorded tv folder.
Request 3: done http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/14622
new topic: with the credentials removed i can play live tv and recorded tv on the windows client, which is great progress! thanks
however, if i move onto to trying the pi's next, which is really my goal, then i thought i understood that the credentials were required to be set?
Thanks for doing all the requests, especially #3. If/when you get updates on this please let me know, either on this thread or PM me.
about the new topic:
Ok, I know what the problem is. First let me backup. You are right that the credentials are needed form your non-windows clients to connect to the server. When credentials are specified, these credentials are added to the path given to the client. Windows clients will ignore these credentials added to the path, but non-windows clients will need them in order to connect.
These credentials are added to the path in this form:
smb:\\<username>:<password>@\<path to data>
You can probably guess where the problem is, your username contains an '@', which conflicts with the @ used in the smb path. I didn't think @ was legal in a username, so I used this to detect credentials embedded in a path, so I need to fix this (that's also why your password was mistakenly not starred out in the config file).
I am also worried that even when I fix this, xbmc will be confused by the @ in your user name when it tries to resolve the network path. Maybe Dilligaf knows and will chime in. Anyway, I will have this fixed in my code on the next rev. Which I can hopefully get out tomorrow or the next day. We'll see then whether xbmc has trouble with it.
Very nice catch spaceboy, sorry its been such a headache.

I setup windows media center got everything configured and tested for live tv i installed serverwmc latest version as of 10/5/2013. Everything ran correctly the first time i configured serverwmc and then setup the client side my raspberry pi downloaded all the epg data and connected when i tried to load a channel it just said "loading" for 5 minutes to i restarted both my computer and the raspberry pi. Then when i went to fire up serverwmc i get an error "Exception from HRESULT:0x803B8008 Unrecoverable Error - ServerWMC will terminate!" so i uninstalled serverWMC and reinstalled still say error.
Any help would be great ....I searched this thread for the error number with no results
Thank You For Everything you have done
P.S. does windows media center need to be running for serverwmc to work?
No, media center does not need to be running. Did you set the credentials in the folder tab of serverwmc before you tried the raspbmc client?
As to the problem you are having now, you can find the server log in:
C:\ProgramData\VDsoftware\ServerWMC\serverwmc.log
put this file in pasebin.com and post a link to it here.
