XBMC stops playing

Raoul Thill

My playback stops after several minutes (5 min.) when connecting to localhost and also from remote XBMC.

I'm pretty sure I have to tweak a keep-alive or something, but can't find any related setting.

The log file show the following lines from start streaming to end:

Mar 26 20:29:03 htpc tvheadend[4781]: subscription: "192.168.178.26 [ admin | XBMC Media Center ]" subscribing on "Channel HD", weight: 150, adapter: "eth0", network: "<N/A>", mux: "224.x.y.z", provider: "<N/A>", service: "<N/A>", quality: 100

Stream stops playing, pushing the Stop button:

Someone has an idea?

I had this issue but worked around it -- I shared the recordings directory out and access that from xbmc. The problem only happens when playing back recordings from the "recordings" section of the PVR / tvheadend menu...but not from the normal "videos" area of xbmc.
