Hi all,
First let me start by saying i'm new to XBMC, been using Meedio(s) and/or Media Portal for the past few years. Switched to XBMC because the plugins in the other programs keep changing about every other day. However, I have a major issue with XBMC,
When I select a movie from the menu, in library or normal mode, the audio start almost immediately, but then the screen freezes. First i thought it crashed, but when i wasn't paying attention suddenly the movie appeared! This isn't with all movies. Some movies (only a few....) start as they should, but the majority has this delay. This is with AVI, MKV, MOV, anything.
My TVShows seem to be working fine...
If I uninstall XBMC and install it from scratch it works fine after importing the library again. And then after a few different movies the delay is back without changing ANY of the settings.
I am using all default settings, here's my setup...
Intel E6750 Dual core @ 2.66
Asus P5k mainboard (P35)
4 Gbyte ram
Windows XP SP3 (also tested with Vista Ultimate x86)
Asus 9400 GPU
XBMC 9.04 with PM3 skin, all default settings.
I have 689 movies in my library hosted on a seperate server over a 1Gbyte LAN. The server is powerfull enough (Q9550 with 8Gbyte). The movies are stored on a raid 5 array (6x1TB harddisk)
I don't think the library is to big because the TVShows are also in library mode and playback from them is fine (over 7000 episodes)
What can cause this?
