This may have already been answered in an earlier post by jurr.
"After some googling i've find that is a password version problem, to resolve the issue i've modified user password with the following mysql command:
SET PASSWORD FOR '<xbmc_user>'@'%' = OLD_PASSWORD('<xbmc_password>');
And it start working "
This worked for me. I am also a linux novice.

Hi I am running Myth2Xbox in Spain. I have MythBuntu 9.10 runnung well and the MythTV front end can watch TV.
I can connect to the Backend from my XBOX and get the channel listings. When I go to watch a channel. It displays: Tuning channel X and then after a few seconds pops upa a window for half a second and goes back to the channel listing.
Looking at the debug messages yields the following:
File "Q\scripts\myth2xbmc\myth.py" line 105, in convToGUIEncoding us = unicode(s.'utf')
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 43-46:invalid data.
I set my LAN cache to 256 and off with no luck.
Is it possible that the special characters that the Spanish alphabet has is causing some sort of error?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Using the "old password" stuff for mysql finally has myth2xbmc able to connect to the master server.
But when I try to play live tv, it plays for a few seconds with no sound, then closes, then it shows loading again, then plays, then stops, and it repeats until the xbox freezes.
I'll get the debug logs to be more helpful.

Yes, I definitely need debug logs to troubleshoot.

sliq,
I believe the problem is that you are using a new version of XBMC that moved the video cache settings for XBMC. They used to be stored in XBMC/UserData/guisettings. I was parsing that to get the cache value to wait until the video file is big enough to fill the cache before starting the video player. I think the values have been made optional and placed in XBMC/UserData/AdvancedSettings.xml. The restarting is by design because when watching livetv and the one show is done the file is done so need to open the file for the next show.
I think a quick workaround is to add the SAME cache setting to BOTH guisettings.xml and AdvancedSettings.xml. Try adding the following to both files:
<cachevideo>
<dvdrom>1024</dvdrom>
<internet>1024</internet>
<lan>1024</lan>
</cachevideo>
It needs to be between the <settings> and </settings> tags in guisettings.xml and between the <advancedsettings> and </advancedsettings> in AdvancedSettings.xml so you would get something like this in guisettings.xml.
<settings>
<cachevideo>
<dvdrom>1024</dvdrom>
<internet>1024</internet>
<lan>1024</lan>
</cachevideo>
.... other stuff ....
</settings>
Let me know if that helps. I probably will have a fix out in the next 2-3 days that tries to parse AdvancedSettings.xml first and falls back to guisettings.xml.

sliq,
What version of XBMC are you running?
You can try changing the cache values from 1024 to 4096 for the lan video cache value.
The no audio problem may be that mplayer has chosen the wrong audio channel... and so I think is unrelated to the stopping/restarting. You can try changing the default video player from mplayer to dvdplayer in AdvancedSettings.xml to see if the audio works then.

Sliq,
if you have an AdvancedSettings.xml.template in UserData, copy it to AdvancedSettings.xml. Change the <videocache><lan> setting there to 4096. You can also try changing <video><defaultplayer> to dvdplayer to see if it makes a difference. I find that dvdplayer tends to stutter on the digital mpegs from mythtv but you might have a different result.
