I get the same. Using Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 Beta 2 with XBMC from

Sorry, I should have mentioned I realise the problem in that MythTV 2.5 isn't 
supported yet by MythBox. Just my 2 cents worth to request support for MythTV 
2.5 since that is the version in the very soon to be released Ubuntu LTS. 
Thanks!

error as well.

Same issue here. MythTV 0.25 and latest MythBox. Any love on getting mythbox 
functional with current MythTV?

Hi all,
Install the latest one from downloads, it works for me: script.mythbox.1.1.0.zip
Download it and install it "from zip" in XBMC.
No more protocol-issues in 0.25. However, it seems that viewing recordings is 
limited to a maximum of 5, - but then again it might be a question of 
configuration.
Hope this helps you!

Best regards,
Dan

Well, 1.1.0 supports protocol versions up to 70. My mythtv-0.25-fixes uses 
protocol version 72.

Are you sure this works? Which protocol version does your 0.25 use?

No, I'm sorry I was a bit too fast with the version-number. Its actually 1.1.1 
that works for me.

This is from the changelog of 1.1.1:
x/x/2011 - MythBox 1.1.1
-----------------------------

  New
    - Protocol 71 and 72 support (Sebastian Astie)

  Fixed
    - Don't redraw the channel column when scrolling left or right in 
      the TV Guide
    - MythTV 0.21 backwards compatibility (Robert Klep)
    - Programs from 'Deleted' storage group removed from current
      recordings (Robert Klep)

Thanks for the comment...but where do I find version 1.1.1? The latest listed 
in the downloads is 1.1.0.

I believe I got it from git back in march or something like that.
This of course is not optimal since its not a "release", on the other hand, 
with the current release of mythbox, you're forced to stay at MythTV 0.24 or 
hacking the protocol-check in python.

If you do a "git clone git://github.com/analogue/mythbox.git" you'll get a 
version with support for 0.72. As mentioned not optimal, but you'll be able to 
use MythTV 0.25. You can just backup your original mythbox-dir and then 
overwrite with the git-cloned version to see how it goes.

Its not a solution, its a workaround, i know ;) but hopefully it'll give some 
sort of comfort to the people on this list.

Thanks for your advice. Tried the git version, and it successfully connects to 
the mysql-database on my backend.

But sadly I'm not able to play anything. I am able to browse the recordings 
list and can see the tv-guide, but when I try to watch something nothing 
happens. Instead I'm getting errors in xbmc.log:

Cannot say at this time, what's the problem here. Other frontends (e.g. my 
notebook) with mythfrontend as a client work flawlessly. Maybe it's a 
backend-problem, maybe it's my openelec-client ... maybe I should be patient 
until the next official release is published. ;)

I have the exact same issue. I can see the records but play nothing. Even the 
ineteral myth:// in xbmc will not connect to the mythbackend :(
