Hello there. Not only am I new to this forum, I'm also new with the whole HTPC + XBMC setup. So I'm kindly asking for your help. I have a clean HTPC with two 2TB HDDs in it, and a 8GB USB3 stick. What is the best (and fastest working) XBMC solution? I've tried OpenElec because I liked the fact that you could put the XBMC on a stick and keep all the HDD space for movies and music but I'm having a lot of problems with it. Problems I can't really fix since I don't know anything about Linux.
My problem with OpenElec is as follow: When I select the big directory (500GB+) on my Windows system and want to copy it all to my HTPC (not all in one time but bit by bit) the system keeps locking up. I can watch any movie now on my HTPC without any trouble, but I can't copy any more files to my HDD, if I do try it, it locks up It's like there is a limit of how much data I can put on my HDD, even though I have still so much space left. Does anyone know a sollution for this?
Secondly: OpenElec was the first XBMC I found and the first one I tried out. Since I have some problems with it, I was wondering: is this the best XBMC version for me, or do you guys recommend a different XBMC that's better/more stable?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards
