I missed that entry, the problem I see there is it's referring to user mythconverg when it should be user mythtv IF my understanding of how the myth:// protocol works. I'll look into that but I know for sure my sources.xml file has the correct line. OH WAIT, it actually has the following:
which is wrong, it should 192.168.0.5. HMMM, ok, just checked and now the playback of recordings works for myth:// protocol. Back to seeing if mythbox works at all but as a fallback, at least I can watch recordings using myth:// protocol for now. Live tv still doesn't work with myth:// protocol but we don't watch much live tv so that ok at this household.
fiveisalive Wrote:So you're saying that you *can't* get playback via myth:// protocol either? If so, that means the problem is general XBMC-related not MythBox-specific. You might have better luck in a general myth:// protocol thread, rather than MythBox specifically, because as the above URL shows, MythBox just hands off the playback to myth://
ok, well now that I have the myh:// protocol working you're saying that mythbox should just work because it merely hands off playback to the myth protocol? It doesn't, here's the latest log of mythbox AFTER i successfully played back a recording using the normal myth:// protocol using it as a source.

fiveisalive Wrote:Again, do you have the streaming option selected in the mythbox settings?
If the streaming option is set, then the recordings directory should be greyed-out.
YES and the recording dir is greyed out.
fiveisalive Wrote:Another possible workaround (untested) might be to export the directory using SMB (as you mentioned you have done previously). Then disable "streaming" and set the recordings directory to use the SMB-exported directory.
I would try and help more, but since I don't run OSX and I only run XBMC on the same machine as my mythbackend, I'm limited in what advice I can give. Your best bet for help is somebody with close to the identical setup as yours.
Ok, thanks for your help thus far. I am making headway now at least I have myth:// protocol working. the thing that stands out to me the most with the mythbox.log is line 98:
and then of course line 368:
