Is this test build actually available somewhere? I'm encountering the same problem where I was running XBMC 12.3 with everything working fine, then upgraded to 13.1 today and while local playing works fine, remote playing returns the same error. ServerWMC reports and shows the stream is active to the client, just xbmc won't play it.

Is it from an additional watched folder located on the network, whilst the client is running on the same box as the server? Because that's the specific case the test build addressed.
Post your server log and XBMC debug log (perhaps on a new thread if it's not the same problem as this thread topic)

I have the same problem - I can play recordings from My Videos but not through My Recordings.
I am using Mediaportal as my PVR and have set the recording path as \\server\RecordedTV.
Both client, server and recorded path are on the same machine (I only have one computer).
I did not have the problem before upgrading to Gotham.

This forum is for people using wmc as the backend. Try posting in the mediaportal subforum or the general pvr support forum one level up.

I think I may have the same problem. I have ServerWMC + XBMC on the same Win7 box, WHS moves completed TV Recordings to a different Server (WHS 2011 called FILTHS1). Watched Directory on Client shows as \\FILTHS1\Recorded TV in the Folder options. Recordings show up in XBMC but nothing happens when I try to start them.
XBMC: Gotham 13.1 RC1
ServerWMC: 1.0.0.32 Build 1138
WMC PVR: 0.2.95
XBMC Logs here: http://pastebin.com/x8WgUbC9
ServerWMC Logs here: http://pastebin.com/A26ba4xy
If I add the Network location as SMB File Share in Videos it works OK but would prefer to access it from the Live TV Menu.
Recordings still on the XBMC Client play fine, its only recordings that have been moved to \\FILTHS1\Recorded TV that cause the issue.
Permissions seem fine, I can browse via Explorer to the \\FILTHS1\Recorded TV from my client no problem at all.
Weird thing is on another Client (WIN8) that isn't running ServerWMC but is using the WMCPVR to connect to the 1st Clients ServerWMC (1st Client IP in Config) I can play recordings from the Live TV Option fine.... Running the same XBMC and WMCPVR Versions.
Is mine the same issue, if so can I have the test client to try?
Thanks!

No need for the test client, the fix for this was in build 1137. So presumably yours is not the same issue.
It seems similar though, in that your XBMC seems to be trying UNC path when Id expect it should be smb
391.21:29:24 T:4596 ERROR: CDVDPlayer::OpenInputStream - error opening [\\FILTHS1\Recorded TV\The One Show_BBC ONE Lon_2014_06_05_18_58_00.wtv]
Does it happen only on a file that was recently moved to the WHS server or it happens on ALL files located on the WHS server?
Can you edit the config.xml file and set LogReplyMessages to true, then generate a new log where the client retrieves the recording list?
(then probably set the setting back to false to avoid your logs being huge)
Once youve done that, you can also try out the Debug_RequestAllRecordings set to true. This will do a backend call to get the path to the recording when yo utry to play it, rather than the default behaviour which is that XBMC just plays the files directly using the paths provided when the the entire recordings list was populated.

Thanks for the reply. Oh sorry I did not realise that or I would have started a new thread instead of hijacking this one.
It happens on any file moved to FILTHS1 not just recent ones. I have rebooted all clients and still have the issue, only thing I haven't rebooted is FILTHS1.
Here is my setup:
Server - FILTHS1 (WHS 2011)
1st Client - Lounge-TV (Win7, XBMC 13.1 RC1. Latest ServerWMC + WMCPVR)
2nd Client - Bedroom-TV (Win7, XBMC 13.1 RC1. Latest ServerWMC + WMCPVR)
3rd Client - Laptop (Win8, XBMC 13.1 RC1. Latest WMCPVR with IP configured to Lounge-TV)
I have setup ServerWMC on each main client (Lounge-TV and Bedroom-TV) as I want to use each clients tuners separately, then archive the Recordings to one central location (FILTHS1) for playback on all devices.
This is working fine, except as stated I cannot play back any recordings once they are moved to FILTHs1 after the recording is finished.
This issue is on both 1st and 2nd Client, each running their own ServerWMC.
On the 3rd Client Win8 that isn't running ServerWMC I can play back all Recordings stored on FILTHS1 fine from the Recorded TV on the Live TV Menu (via Lounge-TV)
I tested this theory on my 2nd Client - Bedroom TV and pointed WMCPVR at Lounge-TV instead of its local ServerWMC. This worked fine and I could play back all the recordings that I was trying before stored on FILTHS1 from the Recorded TV on the Live TV Menu (via Lounge-TV)
I have now pointed the 2nd Client back at its local ServerWMC and I have the issue again.
I know its not going to play as I just get the Speaker icon instead of thumbnail of the show, so it does seem to be struggling to find the file
So it only seems to happen when ServerWMC is being used locally on a client. If a client is accessing ServerWMC remotely on another client I can play back recordings on FILTHS1 fine via the Recorded TV Menu.

I also tested Debug_RequestAllRecordings set to true but it didn't make any difference.
Thanks for your help.

Your logs confirm what Id already discovered while looking through the code on Friday that we still have 1 case where a client running on same machine as ServerWMC is getting UNC paths instead of SMB paths, for files living in additional watched folders. Credentials wise, does the user your XBMC clients run under have implicit access to the server share, or do they only have access via the user/pass you have configured in serverWMC? (reason i ask is that the user/pass is only embedded in SMB links, not UNC paths, so that could explain why they cant access the UNC).
Interesting suggestion: If you point the Bedroom client at the Lounge ServerWMC and the lounge client at the bedroom ServerWMC i think it will probably work on all clients (since the problem is related to the client being local to ServerWMC)
We've already checked in a fix for this, so it will be in the next release, we are finalising a few other things so it could be a couple of days. Let me know if the above suggestion works!

Hi,
The clients have access anyway via the Windows Account but I have also configured the same account user/pass in ServerWMC in the 'non-windows xbmc clients' if thats where you mean?.. on the Folders Tab.
Your suggestion of pointing Lounge @ Bedroom and Bedroom @ Lounge works but means both clients have to be left on.
Thanks for the fix, no rush. I may even look at a better way of setting up, tuner card in headless filths1 running serverwmc streaming to lounge/bedroom with no buggy whs archiving seems a good solution.
Cheers
