Hi,

XBMC 8.10 for Mac includes a TuxBox Client (a kind of dreambox streaming plugin) but I can't manage to watch any TV channel with it. This TuxBox Client works well on XBMC 8.10 for xbox.

When i try to watch TV choosing tuxbox, XBMC for Mac connects normally to my dreambox, let me choose the TV channel, it try to open the stream but cannot and display an error message :

"Playlist playback aborted : too many consecutive failed items".

When I look at the console, I get these interesting messages before using TuxBox Client :

19/02/09 05:53:11 [0x0-0x5a05a].com.teamxbmc.xbmc[11801] The XBMC_HOME environment variable is not set.

19/02/09 05:53:11 [0x0-0x5a05a].com.teamxbmc.xbmc[11801] ++ WARN: search for kIOCDMediaClass/kIODVDMediaClass came up empty

After launching TuxBox Client, I get this :

19/02/09 05:55:23 [0x0-0x5a05a].com.teamxbmc.xbmc[11801] [mpegts @ 0xd92340]Could not find codec parameters (Video: mpeg2video)

What's wrong ?

It seems XBMC for Windows and Linux have the same pb, and that someone found how to fix it on Linux (http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?p=285985#post285985).

Could somebody tell us how to fix it on Mac OS X port of XBMC ?

regards
