<div dir="ltr">I have an Xbox with XBMC that I use as a mythtv frontend. I am able to playback mythtv recordings fine from the xbox. In another thread someone indicated that they use the XBMC windows client to playback mythtv recordings. In XBMC on windows I can browse my recordings and they have thumbnails and all of their metadeta. However, playing a recording fails. I believe the pertenant part of the log is:<br>

<br>I had a similar problem setting up my Xbox. It had something to do with the fact that the backend uses the hostname instead of the ip address. I didn't really understand it at the time. I was able to fix it by putting an entry in my dnsmasq settings on my router. I added a rule:<br>
<br>address=/pvr/<a href="http://192.168.1.102" target="_blank">192.168.1.102</a><br><br>Is anybody else using this configuration on windows? Anybody have any ideas why I can't connect to the backend?<br><br></div>
