Cannot stream any video from Mediaportal Server to Raspberry Pi.

Hi there,

I have recently purchased to Raspberry Pi to act as a client to my mediaportal server but have been unable to watch any video on it.

I have purchased and added the Mpeg2 and VC1 codecs for the Pi, set up the XBMC plugin on the server and fully set up the Pi with the Mediaportal add-on.

I also set up a static IP address for the Pi.

Whenever I turn on the Pi, it automatically updates the EPG and Recording folder, so I know that it is communicating fine with the Server.

The problem is when I actually click on the EPG to play live TV or a recorded program - it says working and then nothing happens. I have tried everything and everything seems fine except for the fact that the Pi will not show any video.

I have also tried disabling the firewall and virus checker on the server and this did not help.

I also tried streaming live TV to the Pi and seeing what Mediaportal server was saying - it said that it was successfully streaming live TV under the manual control tab.

I have spent all weekend trying to work out what the problem is but cannot think of anything else to try.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks very much.

Alex
