I've gone through all the other posts I can find related to this topic, and I have gone through the wiki and set everything up according to the instructions. I've set up ServerWMC on my HTPC (Win7 x64), which I've been using exclusively with WMC for the past 8 months or so. I installed XBMC and pvr.wmc on the same machine and have been able to watch Live TV via XBMC on that machine. However, now I'm trying to setup my Mac as a client with XBMC and pvr.wmc to watch Live TV from the server HTPC.
In ServerWMC, the path is \\HT-PC\Recorded TV, and I've got it set up to use credentials xbmc/xbmc (user/pass)
In XBMC on the Mac client, I've gone into videos and file locations and set up the source as smb://HT-PC/Recorded TV (I've also tried using the actual IP, which yielded the same result), and I set the username and password as xbmc/xbmc and told it to remember my credentials, and the login window just keeps popping up, and the log pops this out:
21:22:15 T:140735164518784 DEBUG: OpenDir - Using authentication url smb://xbmc:xbmc@HT-PC/Recorded%20TV
21:22:15 T:140735164518784 ERROR: SMBDirectory->GetDirectory: Unable to open directory : 'smb://xbmc:xbmc@HT-PC/Recorded%20TV'
unix_err:'d' error : 'Permission denied'
I've made sure that the server is sharing the Recorded TV folder to Everyone with read/write permissions. I am able to browse all the channels and shows via XBMC on the Mac client, and see the list of recorded shows and upcoming recordings, but when I attempt to actually go to one of the channels in the list, I get the same "Permission denied" error in the logs. (The actual popup in XBMC says "This channel cannot be played. Check the log for details.")
Here's the full debug log output from the client: http://pastebin.com/279zpb5a
And from the server: http://pastebin.com/7cPK9d6S
Note that the server recognizes the client's attempt to connect, but says the client reports an error opening the stream.
I'm completely out of ideas.
