You can't install this on OpenELEC. Any other Linux distribution would work fine, OpenELEC is too specialized for anything like this.

hummm ok. In that case is there any solution for my situation?
So my htpc has only openelec installed and the htpc is connect to a entreprise 4 bay via usb3 and it is not a nas.
I have access to the htpc also via smb from my laptop running windows and i can also access it via FTP.

In this case should i instal other linux distribution runing aside with openelec on the htpc or should i try to do something with my laptop (this one is only connect through wi-fi).

You can install it on your laptop just fine (follow the Windows installation instructions on Github). You will obviously have to leave your laptop on if you want to use the software, but the fact that it is on a wifi link doesn't matter at all unless you use the "proxy location" feature (which is a bit exotic anyway).

Hi,

That's what i'm lookig for a while !!! Many thanks

i have some questions:

1.Can we donate for your project ? if yes, have you a link
2. Did you plan to ajuste automaticaly or manually (like youtube 1080o, 720p 480, 320,..) the quality with bandwitch for smooth stream?
3. It is possible with user management to configure for each people what they can watch (all or only this and this...using checkbox) ?

thanks

1. If you mean donate to me then no, I have no link, at least not yet. Thanks though!

2. That's not possible at the moment, it just streams whatever is in your library with no transcoding in between. I looked at transcoding for a while but it's not that easy to implement.

3. How would you like this to work?

AFAICT he meant donating to this project (XBMC Video Server), but no harm in giving some money to XBMC either way

Oh OK - ummm not sure how I feel about that as I am not sure how much you are leveraging off the existing XBMC code.

Well, the application is just an interface to XBMC so it wouldn't be able to do anything without "leveraging off the existing XBMC code".

It seems you have an extra "xbmc-video-server" directory that shouldn't be there. Did you follow the instructions precisely? For example:

C:\xampp\htdocs\xbmc-video-server\xbmc-video-server\src\protected\yiic.php <-- incorrect
C:\xampp\htdocs\xbmc-video-server\src\protected\yiic.php <-- correct

That is because you have Skype installed which blocks port 80 and you have Media Booster installed too which blocks port 443. You will either have to change the port Apache is listening on (see this guide) or install XBMC Video Server on another machine. You could also uninstall Skype and Media Booster but I guess that is not an option.

A forth option is to open Skype, go to Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Connection and uncheck "Use port 80 and 443 as alternative for incoming connections". Unless you're using Skype on locked down corporate networks you shouldn't need that option.

Obviously you didn't, you seem to have skipped step 3.

You skipped step 2 in the installation guide.

Everyone please, follow the guide exactly, there's a reason behind every step in it - no step can be skipped and no step can be done differently if you want things to work!
