XBMC Beta 1

[toricred]

I don't normally have debugging turned on in XBMC so that log might not have much, but here is what I have for now.

Edit:

Attached is an XBMC log with debugging turned on.

Good enough first in xbmc.log

Timeshifting needs VLC installed on the server and xbmc isn't supporting basic http streaming from your NextPVR's web interface which I can't control.

Unfortunately there is too much xbmc pvr spam in the web.log to tell you more from the server side.

The VLC issue is easily resolved. It turns out it was installed, but the path that NEWA had was wrong because the server is 64 bit Windows.

So VLC only goes on the server or does the client need it as well?

[mvallevand]

Ok good, I thought that might be it. Is it streaming now? If not you will may need to a share or maybe even an xbmc advancedrule.xml setting if your share isn't local. You'd probably need to disable sub's xbmc plugin to stop the spamming so I can see web.log

VLC only needs to be on the server.

It's still not streaming. Maybe I should just wait for sub's plugin to get updated, but I'm inherently stubborn so I will disable the plugin and get back with a web log in a bit. In my configuration the timeshifting and video files are all saved to a drive on the server. The drive is shared from the root level and the client is on the same unmanaged switch. I have NPVR configured to point to it directly as the local drive letter. Ahould I change that to a UNC path?

[mvallevand]

Thanks. Also include xbmc.log, I want to see what the client sees. NEWA is supposed to convert this to a unc for me but maybe there is a issue with C$ folders.

Martin

[toricred]

This is actually the L drive and is explicitly shared as simply L.

[toricred]

Just in case I changed my paths on NPVR to UNC. Here are fresh logs. Get 'em while they're hot.

VLC streaming is failing because it doesn't like your url Maybe try the IP address?

I thought I was using the ip address everywhere. Would that be in the NEWA configuration?
