Hello you all,
Finally I got stuck into a problem I'm not able to work out myself, so this will be my fist support question. Let's see what will be the outcome.
Here is the situation:
I've been playing around for quite some time now with a RPi B with Kodi running on it,
Via the USB ports I had 2 external drives connected directly ( 1 for music an 1 for video files) and everything worked perfect.
Recently I decided to build a NAS4Free RAID-5 server to create a more secure storage situation.
I moved all files to this server.
Now that I've connected RPi to the wired (cat5) network the Server is connected to as well, problems began.
At first I was not able to connect to the server automatically, because KODI did not detect the server.
I resolved this by typing in the IP-address and mountingpoint, this did the trick.
Now come the problems I'm still struggling with;
1. Whenever I try to play a audio-file the system will first run a scan.
2. When playing a movie the player will continuously (every 2 minutes or so) stop playing for a few seconds and then continue again.
I've searched some days now for a guide that could walk me through some test I could do to determine what could be causing the problem, but found nothing so far.
I would appreciate any guidance on these issues.
If you need more info or have any further questions, just let me know.
Regards,
