Video playback in XBMC (raspberry pi) as MythTv frontend - ISAM - 2014-04-09
Hi guys,
First of all, know that i am a complete newbie with XBMC, Raspberry pi and MythTv.
I am already using a 0.26 MythTv Backend and 12.2 Frodo XBMC frontend.
I dont have a tunner, the only thing i want is to display a video (located in the mythtv backend) in the xbmc frontend.
I've tried to connect to mythtv backend with the PVR addon and with the mtyh://[email protected] way
Im actually connected (because i've tried to connect with another ip address and it appeared a connection error)
but i only see empty folders (all recordings, movies, ...etc).
I dont know what i am doing wrong, could you please help me?. Thanks in advance.

Why are you using the PVR section at all if you don't even have a tuner (note the spelling)?
Export the directory on the mythtv machine using samba and then add it as a windows networking source in XBMC.

Even more so, if you do not have a tuner, why are you using Mythtv at all?

Solved! Samba ftw! The Australian thing was a joke just in case someone is annoyed.
But is there a chance of doing this with mythtv?
Tomorrow I'll get the tuner, see you soon!
Thanks!
