Boxee and EyeTV

**jheil** · January 23rd, 2009, 12:19 PM

Via Settings-->Media Sources and Applications->Network Sources I was able to see and Add my shared eyeTV upnp feed from another Mac I have. However when I go to Video->Browse->Eyeconnect->Past Week I get a "Load Error - Failed to retrieve data"

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Maybe try XBMCEyetvParser (http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-addons...BMCEyetvParser)

I added the plug-in and enabled it. the parser app shows me a list of available eyetv recordings, however -- when I select play, the screen flickers, then goes back to the list of recordings. any thoughts?

1) is it being played off a network drive? What is the speed of the connection? Are you trying to play an HD video?

2) take a look at your debug log, see what happened in it right before and after you tried to play your video.

3) try a different video, I've had reports that some videos just wouldn't play with boxee. Different broadcasters use different encodings, and compressions.
