Http streaming issue

I am using a custom app (plan to release soon) that will parse some sites and spit out a media url. I send this url to xbmc4xbox via the android app. This works fine the first time for each reboot. But if the stream is broken the video hangs, eventually going back to the menu. If I stop the first stream myself and try to start another one, no stream will start, unless I reboot the xbox (reboot from menu). Then the exact urls that failed to work before, will work the first time. And again stopping and attempting any url just loads and fails silently.

I am currently running build 32935 and have tried build 32977 and a couple other builds I'm not sure of the number but all have been 3.5 RC2.

Here are the logs, I can see curl fails to resolve these urls. But they are very real and valid urls to media files.

I have tried advanced settings, having cache to hd and increasing curl time out. Neither helped.


And the debug log
[admin - please use xbmclogs.com for debug logs]

Thank you! :-)

Ok I figured it out. It was pretty late when I posted and didn't think to try this.

I am using DD-WRT router in Client bridged mode, when I moved the Xbox to the living room and connected directly via ethernet, the problem went away. So I hard reset the DD-WRT and setup the client bridge again, was having the same problem. So I disabled all services, dunno if this helped. It seemed to be solved when I set Default GW Mode to manual and entered my gateway IP.

Hopefully this will help anyone in the future at least!
