hi,
i have the same landrive (firmware is basic39) and is running xbmc cvs-20060328. i realized that if i have 10 or less files in my samba folder (including auxillary files, eg. subs), xbmc don't hang much, if at all. if i have more files, xbmc is more than likely to hang during caching on big files or files with more complex encoding.
other info:
- i have many folders under samba besides public (pub in my case) and xbmc runs files from all of them fine.
- all my samba folders have no password.
- i've tried xbmc cvs-20060417 but samba share doesn't work for me (with or without password). i cannot go into any of the shared folders.
- filename length is not an issue (same limitation as fat32). i think this was resolved as of firmware basic32 or basic35.
- i've tried firmware basic41 but the transfer speed was only about a few hundred kb, so i flashed back to an older firmware.
- the link between my xbox and my landrive is wireless 802.11g.
hope this info can help someone.
