looks like a problem with launching the channel.  debug info for that only 
shows up in xbmc.log.  if you attach that, i can take another look

Don't forget to turn on debug in XBMC > Settings > System

I think this is an issue with dns in xbmc highlighted in issue 154. Try the 
workaround in comment #1

Don't really know if i did the right things:

i simply added 2 lines to /etc/hosts :

192.168.178.22 mike   (current user)
192.168.178.22 mythtv

all still the same :-(

it is all on localmachine (if that works i will also try over network ;-) )

what can it be? are there wrong versions installed? is a new install helpful? 
If Yes: how can i make a "clean" new installation of xbmc, mythtv, and mythbox 
(with resetting /deleting all the config files)

thanks for your help
greetings from germany

Note, I really don't think this is a MythBox issue.  I'm also running XBMC 
11.0-pvr (from OpdenKamp's github).

However, the same thing happens (loading symbol appears, and then nothing) when 
I try to play Live TV using the myth:// protocol.  And the xbmc.log in this 
case looks virtually identical as well.

This would suggest to me it's an XBMC issue, not MythBox.

Agreed. Please followup with OpdenKamp.
