I have all my media stored on a WHS 2011. I am running XBMC (with confluence skin) on a Windows 8.1 laptop using wireless N and running on a wired Raspberry Pi (RaspBMC). Originally I had used SMB to access these files because I read it was better than UPnP on a local network. I set up the scraper for the movies and TV shows and everything looked great, but when I play a movie or TV show I get buffering about every min with short stoppages about every 20 sec. I switched the access to UPnP (on the laptop) and the buffering went away (I still get some dropped frames and audio/video out of sync, but not bad). When I set up the files it did not ask what the file types were and what scraper to use. I went back and was able to edit the movies folder to tell it to use the movie scraper, but the TV show folder, I didn't have the same options. In either case, I do not have the movies or TV shows menus on the home menu. I can still get to the files by the video menu, but I liked having those menus and the data from the scraper. Does anyone have any suggestions?
