OS X unable to play video files from mythtv
#1
I have a bit of a problem while playing video files from mythtv backend with xbmc. First thing to notice is that this all works well if I use ready compiled xbmc, but it doesn't work if I compile xbmc by myself, so it is very probable that this is because of something stupid I am doing (or not doing enough).

So I have mythtv backend on another pc and I am adding it as a video source to xbmc. In xbmc I can see the myth backend and I can browse it's subfolders and see list of recorded programs, so the connection is fine. I can see that the small thumbnail pictures are not displayed while I browse thru my recorded programs and what is worse I can't play recorded video files.

When moving focus over one of the video files, I can see in xbmc.log this following:
18:23:16 T:2964766720 DEBUG: GetImageHash - unable to stat url myth://192.168.255.7:6543/files/1003_20121227135500.mpg.png
is this something I should be worried about? I suppose this is the reason why I finally won't see the thumbnail pic of the file?

Then while playing the file I can see these lines:
18:23:20 T:2965299200 ERROR: (cmyth)__cmyth_rcv_old_int64: cmyth_rcv_u_long() failed (2)
18:23:20 T:2965299200 WARNING: (cmyth)cmyth_file_read: cmyth_rcv_new_int64() returned out of bound value (29653767141872568). Using 0 instead.

18:23:20 T:2965299200 ERROR: Read - cmyth read returned error -1

Here is a full xbmc.log if it helps anything:

I took the sources from the git and compiled those, so it will be the latest version. As this works with my actual xbmc v.11 installation, I suppose this happens because of something I have to do? Is there any special compile flags I should check to work with mythtv?
