Hello everyone,
Before i continue to my problem i would like to congratulate all the developers for the outstanding work on XBMC that i follow since FRODO. I use it on my pc, raspberry pi and iPad and it is my favorite player.
I seem to face a problem with Gotham version as i cannot add SFTP as source from the file manager. Let me explain my set up:
I have a Raspberry Pi and my drives are connected to it. I have SSH enabled and i am using ddns service (integrated service on my router) to create a domain in order to be able to access the Pi via SSH outside of my network. On my computer, or my iPad i used to add as a source my domain to access the file system on the Pi.
Since i updated to Gotham (on all my devices) i am unable to add the source on my PC and iPad. The strange thing is that if i use Putty i can login via SHH even outside of my network with the same domain. Only when i try to add it as a source in Gotham it cannot find the server.
Even more strangely, if i use the external IP address i am able to add the Pi as a source and access it. The problem appears only when i use the ddns service. However, when i go to the ddns provider, the IP is exactly the same and it has not changed.
The SSH port is forward it in my router (since SSH works via internet and i can access also the file system via filezilla). It seems that i am unable to resolve the problem.
I would appreciate any help.
Thank you very much
