My problem occurs when trying to load the channels. It will go blank (black) and I will be forced to alt tab and quit the whole program.
I have tried all the FAQ and common fixes with no avail.

here is a link to a snap of the log with the error:

I am using Frodo 12.2 and have tried the latest pre-stable pseudotv AND the developer.. I also have a similar problem when I try to use PseudoTVLive

I have a feeling its due to possibly a file error but I cant make sense of the log.
Before I relocated my media everything was working great.

any help would be nice

Does that episode of house (s06e06) play on xbmc without issue? If you can seek through it and watch the whole thing then its fine, but the error from PTV is when it tries to read the header to determine the length.

Did you mean MySQL in the two references of NAS i bolded? If so, that would make sense, and perhaps it is something besides the new innodb db engine that this older version of MySQL is lacking that is causing issues.

Seems it is indeed an issue with having a NAS for media and the MKV files not properly be scanned/checked going to PTV

If you look through the posts i linked there is a solution.

If you are on windows youll be doing the same thing but by a different method. Whereas on unix you mount the NFS folder as something else using the terminal, on windows you just click "map network drive" from the "my computer" window and mount it that way.

(2013-11-12, 23:19)spanktastic2120 Wrote: No i meant NAS, its not a MySQL issue. It is finding the file fine, just not reading it. If it were a MySQL issue then it would not be able to get info from the database like the path to the file or the title or anything else, but it does that without a problem. What happens is it tries to open the beginning of the mkv file and encounters an error, and in those posts i linked it looks like the issue is just mkv + NAS = error on PTV.

You're right. I found the solution posted and it worked!

For anyone who needs to know it's from this post: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=90738&pid=1398852#pid1398852
you need to replace the VideoParser.py with the old one.

now my mkv's load through the NFS properly

Can you provide me with a link to a full debug log when your nfs shares don't work...

I realize you weren't explicitly talking to me, but this is my full debug log: pastebin.com/9Zq6KKFJ I have files shared through NFS on a Synology NAS also running a MySQL db. Often clicking on PseudoTV will open the dialog that its loading video files but at some point that dialog will disappear and i'll be left with a Black Screen indefinitely. Clicking navigation buttons and "OK" will make the appropriate sounds in XBMC but nothing will happen. Hitting "S" though, will bring up a Shutdown menu and I can usually successfully shut down XBMC this way.
