Good afternoon.<br>
I'm trying to get the mythTV frontend working on my media mac mini.<br>
<br>
<meta charset="utf-8">
Here's my setup.<br>
Backend using mythbuntu and 0.26 and two tuners (hdhomerun and
HDPVR)<br>
Frontend using a 10.8 mac mini (i3) and mythfrontend 0.26
(MythFrontend-v0.26.0-175-g7f71e02)<br>
The back end is working perfectly, records shows, librarians them so
plex can understand. (both tuners)<br>
The frontend runs, can see shows, play them. But when I try live TV
i get<br>
Video frame buffering failed too many times.<br>
Sometimes I'll get a single frame, usually nothing at all, sometimes
it plain blows up.<br>
I also tested this on a quad core i7 mac mini, exact same issue.<br>
As a test I built up a mythbuntu frontend install under
virtualbox(on the same mac) and other than some decoding speed
issues (h.264) it worked perfectly.<br>
<br>
So, the problem seems mac related. All networking in the house is
hardwired, giga-bit.<br>
<br>
<br>
I ran a debug with the front end and this seems to be the spot
giving problems...<br>

A quick ls on the same mac gives:<br>

<br>
Any ideas?<br>
(BTW, all media is accessable using the same paths on all the
servers but the virtualbox wouldn't have had that path)<br>
<br>
Just tried playing a pre-recorded show and that worked with this in
the log:<br>
