I'm having trouble with my XBMC for Windows setup. I'm running a box solely for xbmc in my theatre room, and all of my music and movies are stored on a windows computer in my office. I share all of my files over my network by mounting all of my windows shares as drives on my theatre PC. ( so my video folder is mounted through windows and mapped to, say, F:\, and music is mapped to E:\)
I have no problems with streaming video files. They all play flawlessly. When I try to play music the song starts playing, but if I stay in the file view mode within 15 seconds, the song will skip as though it were a skipping CD, but after a while continue playing again, and within another 15 seconds of that, skip again, and so on. If I go out to the main menu (Videos, Music, Pictures, Scripts, etc.), it *seems* to get better, and doesn't skip as often or for as long. If I go to the visualization, it gets much better, and sometimes doesn't skip for the rest of the song.
If anyone can give me any idea as to exactly what I should start looking at to see what my problem is, that would be great.
Edit:
I have posted a logfile here. I played a 30 seconds to mars song here, and when I went up a directory, it started skipping, when I went up another, it skipped again, then when I went to the visualization, it no longer skipped.
