Are you using a mobile app as a remote?

jt81 · 2014-12-16, 14:09

No, its just installed on my PC that's all.

And what is giving you that message ?
A add-on ?
If so, which one.
A Debug log (wiki) could perhaps help.

jt81 · 2014-12-16, 17:19

yes its giving me that message

I'll try and get the log later as I am unfamiliar with all this.

TRaSH · 2014-12-16, 20:57

what's giving you the message ?
which add-ons ?
and please do read the following link and make sure it isn't one of the Banned_add-ons (wiki).
if so then look for support from where you got it from.

It appears that Media Browser is giving you this issue?

Get the system working from grounds up, don't add stuff until you know you have a solid system, and then only add in stuff when you have that working, with a fail safe back up....

Sorry, what does that mean?

Do I have to uninstall it?

You can try a fix, looks as though your content scanning is timing out the connection to the host.

Navigate to: appdata\roaming\xbmc\addons\plugin.video.xbmb3c\resources\lib\DownloadUtils.py

Modify

Code:
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection(server, timeout=20)

to a higher number in 20 increments

Alternate to that just uninstall the add-on

I have managed to find downloadutils.py but its asking me to open it up in a programme?

What should I do as I cant edit the code

k4sh1n · 2014-12-18, 07:40

You can open in wordpad, should already be a program in windows.

jt81 · 2014-12-18, 09:45

It already has this code below

conn = httplib.HTTPConnection(server, timeout=20)

k4sh1n · 2014-12-18, 09:49

And yes it should. Increase the time out to a higher number in increments of 20
I.e. 40 or 60 or 80, etc

jt81 · 2014-12-18, 10:09

I've changed to "80" the saved it. Still says unable to connect to host

When searching for the file it brings it up 4times in the search
