I'm very suspicious that the problem is that it doesn't like the MPEG4 format.

DNS is not sufficient, it's a windows thing (netbios and all). If you enable wins support in samba it will probably work with the %h parameter. I did not try that though, I using a static IP address myself. Works great. Jurgen ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] "unknown socket" error with Xbox frontend
hmmm..haven't set up hostnames on my router, i guess i just like avoiding the level of abstraction that hostnames give, since if i just put in the direct ip address i can avoid possible DNS problems, then again there shouldn't be problems with DNS...guess its just a matter of preference, i don't mind typing in ip's but like to avoid the DNS setup ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

You give the hostname of the backend in the setup for xbmcmythtv and it resolves that to an IP using DNS (i.e the router/firewall on your LAN should resolve the Xbox Hostname to the IP it gave it earlier when the XBox turned on and did a dhcp request) That's y i think its just best to go with static ip's and put the actual ip address in rather than a host name. Your on a local network anyways aren't you? Static IPs are good, but typing in Xbox instead of 192.168.1.100 is s much easier; heck, even mapping the MAC of the XBox to a DHCP IP addy and letting it always get the same dynamic IP addy works nice as well. Also works for the webserver in xbmc, just surf to http://xbox instead of http://192.168.1.100.

Am I right in thinking that the host in the smb:// string MUST be the same as the hostname in the recorded table? So for example, if the value in the table is elm.edwards.home does the smb:// string have to be elm.edwards.home rather than just elm?

Re: [mythtv-users] "unknown socket" error with Xbox frontend
You may want to double and triple check your settings. I had a case where the path to my recordings share on my backend was incorrect. For example, the default path includes the hostname: \\%h\your_recordings_share I have no idea where it gets that hostname from, but it was getting putting the hostname for that path but it some how wasn't able to connect that with a correct ip address and was therefore not able to access any recordings. Replacing %h with the actual ip address fixed that. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] "unknown socket" error with Xbox frontend
I'm trying to get the python version of mythfrontend (xbmcmythtv) working on my Xbox. I feel like I'm _very_ nearly there. I can view a the program guide, a list of recordings and I can select one to see more detail and a still image of it. However, when I come to play the recording I hear the XBox disk stir but then nothing happens. No error messages on screen, nothing moves, nada. It just stays there on the detail program screen. In the backend log I see this: 2005-04-13 23:59:30.538 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback 2005-04-13 23:59:30.539 adding: xbox as a client (events: 0) 2005-04-13 23:59:30.545 unknown socket 2005-04-13 23:59:38.841 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback 2005-04-13 23:59:38.843 adding: xbox as a client (events: 0) 2005-04-13 23:59:42.097 MainServer::HandleAnnounce FileTransfer 2005-04-13 23:59:42.099 adding: xbox as a remote file transfer 2005-04-13 23:59:42.174 unknown socket 2005-04-13 23:59:43.699 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback 2005-04-13 23:59:43.700 adding: xbox as a client (events: 0) 2005-04-13 23:59:43.715 MainServer::HandleAnnounce FileTransfer 2005-04-13 23:59:43.716 adding: xbox as a remote file transfer 2005-04-13 23:59:46.129 unknown socket I'm assuming that the problem is the "unknown socket" line, but I have no idea what it means nor what I need to do to get this working. I've checked the archives but whilst this is mentioned I couldn't see what the solutions were. Can anyone help?
