So after some major diving, I got the PVR backend to talk with the agent.. (it seems the agent, doesn't like to reference http://127.0.0.1 but if I list the computer name (http://crystalmedia.theworld.home) it connects.. But when going into the LiveTV part, any selection of any menu does a hard lock of the application (and in some cases, the system) as well as a general XMBC crash..

Very interesting and I have no idea why.

The logs don't show any critical failures..

(Running ArgusTV 2.0.1 on Windows 8 Professional and XMBC 12)

Updates on things..

First off, for XMBC, if you setup the Proxy... it tries to send ALL traffic to the proxy, including the requests for 127.0.0.1 (bad idea guys).. so the proxy settings must be external to XBMC.

This also impacts the playing.

It looks like my problem may have been related to the skin (Metropolis) vs. Confluence. If I move everything back to Confluence it seems to work.. (and the information above).. if not, then it crashes..

Things are still fragile.. (playing back buffered files crash the system, and performance is not so great).. but its better.
