File no longer available but it does! - Chura - 2012-06-15
Hi Guys,
On the last few version of Eden (Stable and few nightlies) i have issue.
All my data is over SMB server (Windows 7), my XBMC installed on Win7 as well.
Many times when i try to play file i get "file no longer available" while the file is there for sure.
If i go to Information (keyboard "i") and press play > everything goes smoothly!
What is wrong here ?

Could it be a power management issue where the server or network connection to it isn't quite ready when XBMC attempts to access the file? After you press "I" and Play, are you able to stop the movie and then select that movie or another movie to play using the method that originally failed?

Yes, if i stop and start over it works ok.
the server never sleeps, its configured so.
and the xbmc station is for the example just started, so no way.
also, if its a sleep issue, why clicking "i" and play works ?
