Need help fixing wierd ftp problem - Wramberg - 2012-08-24 Hi I recently used XMBC to set up a computer as a media center for my dad... My NAS is running FTP so with XMBC he can stream directly from it which is really great.. I found XMBC to be only program that could do this without much hassle.. However, there is one problem... Some of the movies I just cant play.. They work fine on my computer ofc but when trying to play them from the ftp with XMBC they dont.. and its allways the same movies.. I included a complete log which shows me starting the hunger games (this runs with no problems).. i quickly stop the movie and try to play the losers which fails... Link to log Heres what I know for certain: It happens to some movies and the movies that doesnt work NEVER works... Changing names around doesnt help (folder nor movie) Permissions are the same on all movies/folders I thought it might be a codec problem but if I download the movie first XMBC can play it no problem.. If I move the hunger games movie into the losers folder it can still play the hunger games Removing subtitles doesnt help It has nothing to do with the file extension So it must be the movie file itself right.. but wth is wrong with it ? and does anyone have an idea how to fix it ? Heres some additional info about the movies if it helps Hunger games: Quote:Video: Xvid 640x272 23.98fps [Stream 00] Losers: Quote:Video: DivX 5 672x272 23.98fps [Stream 00] edit: the settings are read by playing the files from my pc with media player classic RE: Need help fixing wierd ftp problem - Wramberg - 2012-08-25 It seems that VLC cant play the losers from a http stream either.. but hunger games works fine.. So is it because the losers is somehow un-streamable ? :S RE: Need help fixing wierd ftp problem - Wramberg - 2012-08-25 Today I found out that if I stream via webDAV http I can play the losers RE: Need help fixing wierd ftp problem - Wramberg - 2012-08-26 RE: Need help fixing wierd ftp problem - Ned Scott - 2012-08-26 *shrug* RE: Need help fixing wierd ftp problem - Wramberg - 2012-08-27 Ok so my conclusion Must be a wierd problem not many ppl experience (probably because not many stream via ftp :p)... Probably something with the way the movies are compressed.. Ill just use webDAV from now on Thnx for the views I appreciate people trying to help.. XMBC is an awesome program and I actually just bought a raspberry pi to make a mediacenter with XMBC |
