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

**micahwedemeyer** · November 8th, 2008, 03:39 PM

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:

Code:

<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:

Code:

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?

myth support is borken for everyone, in the current build.

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

Code:

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

23:13:11 T:2685431712 M:3042758656    INFO: Loading skin file: DialogOK.xml

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