MythBox does not stream the recordings from the backend to the frontend. It
lets the
filesystem take care of that (thats what it does best) and only talks to the
backend
for everything else. Under a reasonable amount of load on the backend,
streaming has
a tendency to "sputter" while reading from a network filesystem is more robust.
Export your recordings directory on the backend with your network filesystem of
choice (NFS, Samba, etc).
Mount the share on your frontend machine and enter this directory as the
'Recording
Directory' in MythBox.

Thanks for the reply. After many, many hours of fooling around with this, I
got it
to work. I did suspect the "paths" settings to be the issue. Since this was
on a
Windows version, I had a hard time getting a path mythbox/XBMC would accept.
Since
my backend was already visible (samba), I used that path with no success. I
mapped
the necessary shares to a drive on windows and voila, fixed. However, I am
disappointed in the lack of instruction for using this plugin (I'm not a
developer,
no coding skills).

kristinaray,
Can you explain how you set this up exactly. I use knoppmyth for my backend. I
have
one vista computer in the house. I enabled samba on the backend. I then located
the
mythtv share and mapped it to drive M:. Then in the mythbox setup I entered
m:\tv;m:;m:\video and every permutation of these that I could think of
including:
M:\tv
m:\tv
m:\tv\
M:\tv\
I got the blah_blah_blah.mpg not found error every time. I can play the files
fine if
I navigate to m:\tv with the windows file manager and double click them.
