Hi All,
I am new to XMBC and need some advice.

I have a small windows 7 pc with all my movies on a shared drive.

I have Kodi XMBC setup on a rasberry pi2

I have setup the share on my rasberry pi2 using smb and when i run a program say 1 hour long its fine however when i try and stream a movie from my pc it just hangs for about 5 minutes and i can not do anything and end up rebooting the pi.

I tried putting the movies on a usb pen and plugging in direct to the pi2 and they play fine so it cannont be the format but something to do with the streaming side of things.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Play a movie from your PC, once it has hung upload your debug log (wiki) to a paste site (pastebin.com, xbmclogs.com).

Depending on the OS you have on the Pi (which you haven't mentioned - it's kind of important) the easiest way to upload the log is usually via ssh (eg, on OpenELEC: "cat /storage/.kodi/temp/kodi.log | paste"). Use PuTTy to connect to the Pi over ssh - usernames and passwords vary with OS. You may also need to enable ssh on the Pi, again depending on the OS.

If you start a forum post at discourse.osmc.tv, and consult https://osmc.tv/wiki/general/how-to-subm...t-request/ we should be able to work out what the issue is.
