mythtv video source on ATV Problems

[ssouter]

Hi,

I've recently added XBMC on to my ATV. I am a long time Mythtv user and have been searching for the best frontend for some time. I am pleased with what I see so far with the ATV and the XBMC project.

When I added my backend to the video source last night I used the following:

myth://mythtv:password@192.168.1.116 - per the mythtv wiki entry.

This did appear to work and several (not all) thumbnails of my recordings were shown. When I clicked on one of the thumbnails, xbmc crashed.

Is there any tips to overcome this?

Thank you,
Scott

For those others who stumble across this one here is the solution:

You need to add your backend hostname to the /etc/hosts file in the ATV

ssh into your ATV using a terminal

$ ssh frontrow@appletv.local
Welcome to the AppleTV (via atv-usbcreator)
frontrow@appletv.local's password:

type password --> frontrow

at the bash prompt enter the command to append to your hosts file:

-bash-2.05b$ sudo bash -c 'echo "ipaddress hostname" >> /etc/hosts'
