now all thats out the way heres my problem
got pc all nicely set up and running really smooth,i keep all my films on a 2tb external usb3 drive
this is where my movie libary is stored.
when i play a film sometimes,the film stops and returns to the xbmc library menu.
ive checked all the settings i know ,like is it correct sound setting,full screen,stuff like that.
it does not do it on every fim but i download alot of mkv,blu-ray files via rapidshare.
ive had 1 film do it all the time,so i copied the film and played it through media player and all was ok no stopping.
so took it to my mate matt,who has xbmc as well and he added fim to his library,and guess what no fil stopping at all.
so i copied his settings and set my pc to near it
but still get films stopping and returning to film library
is there any suggestions please,
i like version 10.1 not that keen on new eden 11

Sounds like there is some issue with that specific video... Some media players are more fault tolerant. See if you can re-encode the video through Handbrake, it should clean it up a bit. I don't know why this video plays out fine in your buddy's XBMC set-up and not yours other than to point at multiple version updates between your set-up and Eden 11. At this point a lot of software add-ons will no longer be available to Dharma, and suggest your issue might dissipate with the update.
What in Eden is keeping you from an update?

HI THANKS FOR THE REPLY.
the eden just doesnt appeal to me.
it says there isnt a actual movie menu like dharma.
will give handbrake a try and get back to you on the issue,
how do i update to eden without uninstalling dharma,can i just update and keep all my settings and library's
what do you think of eden?

The freezing might have been some sort of lock-up from one ver to the other, patiently waiting... the system might have come back on stream. But in your case a boot is as good as patience. I'd just pass along a note: XBMC has many threads going on in the background, should you exit/quit the system takes a few moments to fully unload. Should you want a little more control over updates and when that occurs, go into settings>add-ons and toggle auto update off and put notify on.
Welcome to the forums, Looks like you're part of the XBMC community now...
