myth// .. no playback from backend

I have XBMC running on 192.168.14 and Myth backend on 192.168.1.5

i added myth as a source in video as myth://mythtv:xxxx@192.168.1.5

i can get the guide and i can get the channels list when i go into live channels, but when i press any of the channels to play live, nothing happens.

here's the log from xbmc:

and here is the log from myth backend:


i read through this thread here http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...e+recorder but no luck

any thoughts here ?!

From the looks of it, it seems this is your problem:


My guess is you need to figure out why the TS stream could not be started on the Myth box. Try watching livetv directly off the myth box. Then check to see if the proper credentials are setup on the myth channel folder, could be a simple permissions problem.

live tv works fine on the myth machine using the myth frontend

I think you need to check out the mysql.txt file and get the password Myth supplied you when you setup the back end. I had the same issue with mine.

Do you have iptables or firewall settings in place? Make sure you have the proper UDP/TCP ports enabled...

no firewall or anything on either boxes (i didnt setup any)

the xbmc is built from ubuntu 8.10 mini (and xbmc svn) and the myth is built on normal ubuntu 8.10 desktop (myth also from svn - but myth is working ok on its own box - both front & back ends)

(unless any of these have any hidden settings that im not aware off - im quite new at this)

note that when i go into guide, i can retrieve the guide from my myth machine (i.e i can access the db from the xbmc box and read from it)

to test mysql connection from xbmc machine


it should ask for password which is here DBPassword=xxxxxx

and you should see something like that




if you can't connect then you found your problem

If the above post is true, then you need to grant the mythtv user access from another workstation. To do this log into mysql as root on the mythtv box and run the following in mysql:

i did try from the xbmc box and as root and could not login to the db, but when i did:

i could log in
