Linux Ubuntu Install Recent Video playback Issues

ccfc1986 · 2012-09-01 02:45

Hello All,

I am relatively new to the world of XBMC so please be patient with me as much as possible! With that warning out of the way, i am currently running XBMC on the following system:

AMD X2 Dual Core 5000+
4GB RAM
Nvidia Geforce 7050 (630a)
Optical Audio Cable

For the first few weeks, i had absolutely no issues streaming any content from my primary PC (which holds 2TB disk with all my media on it). Recently however, i have noticed that i can barely play 3-4 minutes of video (and this is any video i play as you will notice in the logs linked below), and the video will pause as if buffering (but won't say 'buffering' at the top like usual, and sometimes continue after 5-10 seconds, on other occasions take me back to the menu of items to watch).

The pc the data is streaming from is connected to my router via 1gb connection, and so is the XBMC server, and the router is 1gb also. I am thinking it might be a driver issue on my streaming desktop PC, but i will leave that for experts to haggle over!

Below is the log of attempting to watch a few different video content files:

If you could please review the logs and let me know if there is anything that stands out - i read through it but i wasn't able to make much sense of it. If you could lend a hand, i would really appreciate it.

Cheers

Tony

Just a quick note....in debug mode the on screen display shows 3722488/3990104kb memory used. Also the two cores are in the 30/40% on average. The cpu-xbmc shows anywhere from 75%-99%.

Updated log with DEBUG enabled - http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=7655

Is this normal?

Noticed my xbmc system was running CPU and memory at a lower stock speed due to motherboard issues. I fixed the BIOS setting issues and everything seems to be fine now. Sorry for the post...issue resolved I believe.

Cheers
