Movie playback failed
#1
Hi!

First of all, I'd like to thank the ones that are making XBMC possible. It's awesome!

After having the repo version installed from Nito TV everything worked flawlessly but a few days ago I suddenly found issues with movie playback from a SMB share (also occurs with a NFS share). Sometimes the movie doesn't load, sometimes the error message 'Playback failed. One or more items failed to play. Check the log file for details' appears. I've updated to the latest nightly build (details below) but the issue is still there. I've pasted the logs below, could you please help me?

Platform: Apple TV2 software 4.2.2 (2203)
XBMC version: Darwin 11.0.0 compiled Oct 23 2011
xbmc log: http://pastebin.com/KkuL1uFU
syslog: http://pastebin.com/fw2WZ1F7

Thanks!

seems you copied the wrong log over for your first link, because that's not an xbmc.log file.

Seems like you get exceptions when it trys to find subtitles - you have rar'ed files in your movie folders and xbmc tries to decompress them (because there could be subtitles in it).

Did you change anything according to your folder structure or something? I would move the rar files away ...

Moved the RARs and everything works fine now. Thanks a lot for the prompt answer!

Hi, I've been having the playback failed problem. Prior to this i was getting severe buffering issues simply trying to watch some family guy in SD.

I've updated to the latest xbmc build from the June build, but that didn't solve any problems.

I am able to watch the shows on my macbook through my home network no problem. I have an old WRT350N with USB hard drive attached for storage

I'm lost on this
thanks

Hi,

I also had the buffering issues with SD content. I rolled back to the release from Oct 18th, and with this it worked for me. More is here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=113419&page=2

I reverted back to older builds and still the buffering problem. Then I reverted back to Build 10.0-7 even to see if that changed anything - nothing.

I have severe buffering problems still. Not sure why, but it's definately not the version of xbmc.

it did work at one point a few days ago. i don't know what i did to do this but i figure some addon or update screwed it up. Maybe something in NitoTV did it.

This most recent nightly build (xbmc-20111030-28b4457-master-atv2.deb) should have fixed the buffering issue that Martin mentions. Try that one out and tell us if it improves anything for you.

Hey there,

I just updated to the latest nightly build and it didn't change anything unfortunately. I'm out of ideas, i think i'm going to re-jailbreak and start fresh.
