So, when I tried to re-add the path, I discovered that the folder isn't there (and hasn't been for some time). Maybe this is why the error message was occurring?

Try playing the WTV file itself in XBMC from the Video->Files section rather than through LiveTV section. Try playing the WTV file in some other player (eg Windows Media PLAYER (not Center) or on another PC etc). Does the WTV file work elsewhere? In other players and in XBMC?
Well, it had worked on the laptop in XBMC and WMC, but not on the RPi. Unfortunately, I have since deleted that particular file. So, I tried to recreate the problem.
I have 3 Person of Interest files. I was able to play the first one (9/23) on WMC and XBMC on the laptop. When I tried to play it through LiveTV-> Recordings on the RPi, it played the audio, but no video. So, I tried to play it through the Video->Files section and had the same result. (You will see an addition of the video file setup and a deletion of the same, plus a change to the original video file to the http address.)
I had not played the second (9/30) or the third (10/7) recordings on the laptop, but when attempting to play them on the XBMC RPi, with the second (9/30) file, I had no video, but audio was a buzzing sound. However, the third (10/7) file played great!
Afterword, I checked the second (9/30) file on my laptop XBMC and WMC and found that the video played choppy and the audio had the buzzing sound. (I'm guessing this second file is messed up!)
But to reiterate, the first (9/23) file is the one that somewhat mirrored the problem of the previous file that, once played partially on laptop WMC, would not play video on RPi XBMC.
Oh, and I get a Server Execution Failed error when I attempt to play any recordings in Windows Media PLAYER.

I never received a request on XBMC if I wanted to ResumePosition, or start over.
(2014-10-08, 04:55)scarecrow420 Wrote: Also another thing I noticed, you got some channel EPG requests for time ranges in the 8:30pm range, when the server time clock seems to be 1:30pm. Are your client and servers set to different time zones? That could cause problems with EPG information and so on, and sometimes windows security/file share access also gets upset when timeclocks are out of sync...
I checked the time zone and time in RaspBMC, XBMC, and ServerWMC. They all show the same thing. Perhaps, you found where I had selected a later time for future programming while in XBMC? Unless there is somewhere else to try...
Thanks so much for your help!
