I have read this thread and collected the experience of those who have managed to successfully connect to the tvheadend server from xbmc. Unfortunately, it is not my case! I have set-up the tvheadend server, created the channels, etc. but xbmc refuses to connect on port 9982 giving the following error: "could not connect to the remote server". I have tried to open up permissions on the base directory /home/hts, created another user with no password with streaming permissions on the local network, tried 127.0.0.1, localhost, even its own IP address...nothing works.
I am using ubuntu 9.04 with tvheadend-2.5 from debian repository and xbmc 9.04 (the stable version) from ppa repository.
Any one has some idea? Does xbmc 9.04 support the htsp protocol or do I need to upgrade to the latest beta version?
I am looking forward to make xbmc+tvheadend working. Thanks.
Try to play the source, then look in the xbmc log file "~/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log"
should tell you whats wrong, thats how i sorted mine out.
