Hi!

I have an minix neo7 that is connected to my imac through the network via smb. i have the latest mavericks installed and using xbmc gotham 12.4
The problem is that even though i can see all my movies and tv-shows as soon as i try to play any of them i get "Playback failed" error. Tried streaming though an old pc laptop without any problems.
this is how my logfile looks

Any help is much appreciated!!

1. Are you running XBMC on the minix or on the Mac?
2. There is no version 12.4 Gotham
3. Never post log snippets always post full logs
4. Use pastebin.com for pasting logs
5. In general read debug log (wiki)

Looks like the files are served by the mac and the minix wants to access them. It really depends on the used XBMC version on the minix on how well this will work (mac uses SMB2 which is not supported by older XBMC versions).
