XBMC and Mythtv Communication Problem - MarianoC - 2011-03-15 02:40

Hi!

I'm trying to use XBMC with Mythv using the myth:// protocol, but after read a lot of forums and pages, and change all the config, I can't make it. When I go to Mythtv protocol, and click on Live TV, all the channels appears, but if I click on one of this, XBMC start to "Loading" forever, and freeze.

Mythtv works fine from the local machine and remotely using another PC...The General configuration of the backned is:

Code:

LOCAL BACKEND

IP Address: 192.168.0.10

Port: 6543 / Status Port: 6544

Security pin: 0000

MASTER BACKEND

IP Address: 192.168.0.10

Port: 6543

My /etc/hosts:

Code:

127.0.0.1    localhost.localdomain        localhost arch 

192.168.0.10    mythbackend.mythbackend.org    mythbackend

In XBMC the Mythtv protocol is set to:

Code:

myth://mtythv:mythtv@mythbackend

I also tried with: myth://mtythv:mythtv@192.168.0.10

The mythbackend log says a lot of times:

Code:

Myth protocol doesn't support MythTV 0.24+

- kissiel - 2011-11-15 02:48

I've faced the same problem now. I'm using MythTV backend version 0.23.1.
In my case I can't see Guide (all channels are empty).

Did you find solution for your problem?
