Full Version: Movie randomly freezes (Hardware or Software issue)

Hey everyone,

The issue i'm having is when I'm watching a movie it stops/freezes up for a second or two and then continues to play the movie. This happens very randomly and usually happens more than once within the same movie. It kinda feels like it's trying buffer the movie but I'm not sure as to why this is happening. Below is my current setup:

XBMC/Openelec is installed on Intel NUC (Celeron Processor)
Movies are stored on WD EX4 (2 x 4TB drives as RAID 1)
Everything is currently hard-wired

Keep in mind that this issue just started right after I changed from 1 x 4TB drive JBOD into a 2 x 4TB drives RAID 1 as I purchased another drive. Any ideas?
First idea: Debug Log
Thanks fritsch, I'm kinda new at this. I'll enable log and post it once it happens again.
fritsch here's what I found during the time it froze for a second and then continued

No support for Frodo version.
Yeah...XBMC Frodo is out of date. So please update to XBMC Gotham.
Just updated and it looks like the issue is gone too! Thanks guys
