Hi all,
So I decided to centralise all my external NAS drives into an actual server for convenience but sadly this seems to be a big mistake.
After getting everything ready I booted up one of my XBMC installs (Dharma) and edited the sources to reflect the new paths. No problems there, library updated and everything seemed fine but when I go to play anything back I get a failure message. First off it takes ages to do anything after hitting play and then I get the failed to playback, check logs message. Looking in the logs there are heaps of entries saying that it can't connect to the old paths (which I thought would have been removed when I edited them to the new location). It also says it timed out waiting for the buffer to empty.
The server is a Windows 7 machine with all drives shared on a gigabit network, am I missing something really obvious here?
Additionally I have a couple of Eden based machines downstairs, 1 of which is just freezing up since the change over (the other I dare not touch at this point).
Do I need to just do a fresh install of XBMC to sort this out? Surely a media server setup shouldn't be that different to a NAS setup should it?
Please help!!!
