Hi all,
New user here (stop groaning) and having a weird 'ol issue you maybe able to help me with. I'm not convinced it's a Crystalbuntu issue, thought is was an XBMC issue but then just discovered that it might not be that either!?!
So to the issue, I have a 3Tb Seagate drive (HFS+) plugged into my hacked ATV1, it's mostly got my ripped DVD collection on it (MP4 all play perfectly) but have started to fill it out now with some MKV's. From the off some of these MKV's didn't play, I'd get an error message 'One or items failed to play. Check the log file for details' - http://pastebin.com/ngRM7Ruk - having looked through that (the interesting bit is at 13.19.43) I figured it was a problem with a codec or perhaps the inbuilt XBMC player not liking the files contained in the MKV. Out of curiosity I moved the files to a 128Gb hard dive (HFS+) and plugged that into the ATV to see what would happen, clearly I expected the same results but shockingly the files played!
So now I'm thinking perhaps its the Seagate? I'm wondering if 3TB is too big a drive and that I should perhaps partition it? I've searched here and at XBMC, Google too but can't find a definitive answer, thought I'd throw it out there and see what you guys think.
I've got a Tb of files on there already so at some point I'll copy them off and partition but would be happier knowing that that is the answer rather than spend a day dealing with a huge file copy.
Thanks for your help/advice in advance I very much appreciate it
