Hi,
I can't seem to get XBMC to work properly. Plex works fine but I'm trying to get local streaming to work but having issues. My media is on a Win 8.1 machine on SMB share. I tried version 13.2 -- At first everything is fine but then sometime later the transfer rate just keeps getting slower and slower until the movie keeps buffering. I monitor the bandwidth coming from the Windows machine and can see it gradually get slower and slower. I have to reboot the ATV to fix this. Rebooting my router or Windows machine has no effect.
I also tried the latest Kodi nightlies. This is also broken for me. As soon as I open up the SMB share and go to my movies list, the ATV starts pulling data from my SMB. I didn't even play the movie yet, so I have no idea what is being transferred. I'm only at the video list before it starts transferring data. I can see the bandwidth being maxed out for no reason, and if I play a movie it will buffer constantly because there's not enough bandwidth.
Anyone have any idea about these issues?
