[QUOTE="AFH, post: 1004658, member: 138895"] I set the real IP, as suggested, then tried everything else I could think of, and still nothing, although as before VLC happily picked up a manually launched stream. So I have had to give up yet again. However, I have now found that the XBMC client and server plug-in work perfectly, with the added advantage that I can now use my Linux lap-tops. It all worked more or less out of the box, after following the few simple configuration instructions. The only thing I can't access is the Radio guide, so I can't set up recordings without going to the local MP client on the TV server, but I can live with that. As an aside, I do not understand why both MP and XBMC treat Radio through different menus from TV - most broadcast TVs have them in a single list and both the EPG and channel change button allow direct access from one to the other: there seems no reason to separate them in MP (or XBMC). Maybe someone will enlighten me. [/QUOTE]
