Luckily(?) I don't record anything in HD so SD is fine for my current<br>
situation. If you can, would you mind finding out which version of XBMC<br>
and MythTV you are running Robert as I tried the myth:// protocol last<br>
night and while it showed up all of my channels, when I tried to "play"<br>
one it errored (something about too many consecutive failures, or<br>
something, can't remember off the top-of-my-head). I'm pretty sure I<br>
need to update my version of XBMC, but I am running MythTV 0.22-fixes<br>
<br>
Glad to see someone has gotten it to work though! There is hope :o)<br>

I've been running several versions. The one thing you may need to do, however, is check your DNS settings. XBMC on the XBox tries to resolve the host name to access the backend, and if it can't resolve it, it fails (in the way that you're seeing now).<br>
<br>
Alternatively, you can add a "hosts" entry in your advancedsettings.xml like so:<br>
<br>
<advancedsettings><br>
<hosts><br>
<entry name="HOSTNAME">IPADDRESS</entry><br>
</hosts><br>
</advancedsettings><br>
<br>
This will over-ride the DNS resolver.<br>
<br>
The advancedsettings.xml file does not exist by default, so you will need to create it in your userdata folder.<br>
<br>
More info about it is here:<br>
<a href="http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=AdvancedSettings.xml" target="_blank">http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=AdvancedSettings.xml</a><br></blockquote><div> </div></div>I created advancedsettings.xml, added an entry (phoenix -> 192.168.0.10), and then tried
using the myth:// protocol (myth://<a href="mailto:mythtv%3Apassword@192.168.0.10">mythtv:password@192.168.0.10</a>). While it does add a source to my Video
list, I can't get the options therein to work:<br>
<br>
All recordings - does nothing*<br>
Guide - shows a list of all channels, and each channel shows me today's guide information for said channel<br>
Live Channels - navigates to an empty list<br>
Movies - does nothing*<br>
TV Shows - does nothing*<br>
<br>
* I can hear the Xbox make a noise (perhaps the HDD working?), but XBMC remains on the same screen.<br>
<br>
I've checked that the mythtv database password is correct (using "mysql -u mythtv -p"
on my server), and as it's pulling out the guide data, I
assume that part must be working.<br><br>Any thoughts on why none of the video functions are ... er ... functioning? :o)<br>
