For what it's worth, I've tested a Pi, a Windows computer, and a Mac. All of them have worked flawlessly.

This product seems like it is much closer, but I am having one issue with HD content. I am 99% sure it is on the XBMC side, but am not sure if it is the hardware I have or something else. My Win7 server is a 8 Core AMD with 8 gigs of RAM. MC is all set up and working with the cable cards. I have 4 first gen AppleTVs running crystalbuntu and one Pi running raspbmc. The ATV will play SD content fine, switch channels etc, but when I try to watch a HD channel the results are spotty. Most of the time the stream starts fine and plays, but if I try to change channels it freezes. About 50% of the time if I stop the stream first then start a new channel it will work, but it is very slow to stop the channel.

I have not fully tested the Pi, i am still waiting for the MPEG-2 license. Is the problem with the hardware in the appletv?

I am also having the "No Video Data Found" response for a few channels. I noticed that for the channels that work two/three files are created in the recordedtv/temp file while for the ones with No Video Data Found make only one file and then it fails. I'm not sure what process is failing but I have about 4 successful channels and 4 that get the error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have searched the forum but have not found any concrete solutions.

Really excited for this so I can finally make a 100% switch to xbmc. Keep up the good work!

I posted the server log at http://pastebin.com/yHH8m9t0

Thanks in advance.

recorded tv is still not working. when the pi calls for a wtv through serverwmc then what is the process? because i see nothing in the xbmctemp folder and no sign of the client calling it in the serverwmc log. it seems from the raspbmc log that its trying to access the wtv file directly but i thought xbmc coul not do that. visually on the pi it looks like play back is about to start, the screen goes black and the timer pops up but never starts counting

one thing i have noticed and i think i mentioned earlier is that the live tv streams aren't getting deleted. i see this in the log:

2013/10/13 01:26:09.455 StreamProc::Close> error close stream: System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file 'D:\Recorded TV\TempXBMC\LiveTV_192.168.1.17_DVB-T_104_2013_10_13_01_24_42.wtv' because it is being used by another process.

2013/10/13 01:26:09.456 CloseLiveStream> -----------------done-------------------------

i think this may be because i have comskip monitoring my wmc recorded tv folder, possibly watching recursive directories. could that be causing this?

I can watch them in wmc just not through the server. I also have an npvr server which can play both of them.

I can play wmc recordings from these channels in xbmc. I will try the "workaround" stream a recording tomorrow morning.

Thanks again.

I started the server on the HTPC fresh, then opened the client on my laptop (I also disconnected network and power from the Pi for good measure). So, I started a channel and checked the OSD sound menu for what it had to say about the audio channel. Sequence as follows:

1) CH 3.1 - plays English, stream identified as 1/2 English
2) CH 6.1 - plays no sound, stream identified as 2/2 Castilian (I do not change anything at this point)
3) CH 10.1 - plays English, stream identified as 1/2 English
4) CH 6.1 - plays no sound, stream identified as 2/2 Castilian (I then switch the stream to 1/2 English and it plays English, and I leave it set on this audio stream)
5) CH 10.1 - plays English, stream identified as 1/2 English
6) CH 6.1 - plays no sound, stream identified as 1/2 Castilian (I then switch the stream to 2/2 English and it plays English)

Then I stop and collect logs (http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=8s1rQ82g) and temp files (https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4bCXKv_FuSUNWFYVUhVeC03dWs&usp=sharing). Google Drive link also has log file if pastebin has issues.

I was really surprised to see the labeling of the audio streams flipped between steps 4 and 6.

I really hope this helps. Please let me know if there is anything else I can try and log to help out.

You misunderstand me, I am not proposing the above as a workaround, only as an experiment to help me determine if the problem is what I think it is. You probably don't need to bother though - the fact that wmc can play the file is not a surprise - but the fact than npvr can play them tells me what I wanted to know. I will not have a solution anytime soon for this though, there a number of things I want to implement before I work on this and until scarecrow gets back, its a one man show. Thanks for the info though.

Thanks for your help
