Error when connecting to MythTV backend: Loading Error Failed to Retrieve Data

[micahwedemeyer]

I've read that there is support for MythTV backends, but it doesn't work for me.

I have a remote backend, and here is what is in my Boxee sources.xml:


<sources>
<programs>
<default></default>
</programs>
<video>
<default></default>
<source>
<name>MythTV</name>
<path>myth://mythtv:xxxxxxx@192.168.0.5/</path>
<private>false</private>
</source>
<!-- more sources here.... -->
</video>
</sources>


Here is the output from mythbackend --version:


MythTV Version : 16838
MythTV Branch : branches/release-0-21-fixes
Library API : 0.21.20080304-1

I'm not sure how to determine my Boxee version, but it is the Alpha, downloaded and installed on Nov 8, 2008, and running on a Mac with Leopard.

Any clues? ideas?

NO!!!!

Is there a plan / schedule to return this support into the next build? I'm running the latest build for AppleTV 2.3 (0.9.4277) and it still errors out with the following in boxee.log


23:13:11 T:2685431712 M:3042521088 ERROR: CBrowseWindowConfiguration::UpdateFiltersByPath, unsupported path, path = mythtv://******@192.168.1.111/

Is there any help I could offer in troubleshooting from an end user's perspective?
