Videos stop playing

Post by Maza »

I recently bought two new external HDD's (CnMemory USB 3.0 3 TB) for my video collection, I used to use two western digital 2.0 USB 2 TB. Now whenever I want to stream videos from these HDD's the video freezes and stops after 1-5 minutes. I was searching through the forum and on google for something similar, but got no succes.

Is it possible you're loosing network connection? or issues with the DNS? I see some other errors about a RSS feed and then the other SMB error.

Maybe they are unrelated, SMB has certain issues where if another computer comes on the network there's an election and a machine could become the master browser, and won't know other machine son the network (like your MAYA).

Alternatively you can look at setting up an FTP server, might work better than SMB shares - from XBMC4Xbox perspective, you define them the same, the difference is they will be backed by an FTP server, rather than SMB server.

PS: You might want to update to a more recent version, just in case, see XBMC SVN Installer plugin in my signature, make sure you read it's wiki page first.

I don't think I'm having network or DNS problems, because I can stream from my PC internal HDD and my older external HDD's only the two new ones give me problems.

I've used two other external HDD's and again I could stream with no problems, I think these cheap CnMemory are just not suitable for streaming to xbmc4xbox.
