I do remember reading on the MakeMKV site that the beta versions do timeout and you can just reinstall to reset the timeout. So re-installing 1.4.11 should fix that.

sorry, home now & found that my 'old' 1.4.11 was actualy a 1.4.9:o
Built 1.4.11 and all works fine....

Well, good. I'm just a bit confused about the original post? Not sure what the relevance is.

oh apart from the fact that the folder in the zip file had a space in it. Once that was removed it worked fine. That has already been discussed in this thread though. Other than that I have no idea what the relevance was either.

Appreciate if someone can help me

I'm using the prebuid image for the ION that has the scripts installed from
http://www.xbmcfreak.nl/xbmcfreak-live-s...sie-27338/
I have also tried v10 and v11 of the ISO's with similar results

System Info
XBMC PRE 10.5. r27338
Transparency! 2.11 Skin
4GB Memory
XBMC Live installed on 8GB CF /SATA adapter on ASUS ION Motherboard
LiteON 4X BluRay Reader LH401S

I'm unable to play any BluRay disc I have
If I connect the same burner to my windows PC, I'm able to play the movie or extract an ISO from it. I have also tried playing the ISO off a network share, no luck..

The script completes 100% and then stops with no output

Log file attached (hope I got the link right..)

http://pastebin.com/m45280236

If I try to play the steam via a web browser on my PC after the script completes 100% I get an error
http://192.168.1.119:8080/xbmcCmds/xbmcH...le0.m2ts;1[/url])
Error:Could not play file

If I try to connect to the page to browse the file structure
http://192.168.1.119:51000/

I get an error.. page not found

I can connect to the XBMC on this IP to transfer files from my desktop with WinSCP

Am new with Linux and don't know which way to turn to fix this issue...

Thanks

it maybe be streaming to a different port for some reason (port is already in use for example). You could try using netstat to get a list of all open ports and see what port it is outputting to.

success..

I followed the instructions on the makemv site to downgrade the package down to 1.4.11 and now I'm able to stream from Disc... Big Grin

cryptic, but a little search helped...

Unfortunately, I'm still unable to stream via a share.. Sad

Did see some threads about spaces in the script.. appreciate if someone can share the updated script that may help

Thanks
