Hi all
Fresh user to Xmbc and im experiencing a few issues.
Its a simple setup
SSD for the OS drive
2 Non OS hard drives with A-N on one and M-Z on the second and the movies in those drives. I only use .mkv files and only 720p or 1080p ( 5TB total space )
I add codecs and i only use MPC-HC as my player no other media player installed.
The machine only plays movies nothing else
Issue 1
There are a number of movie files that it refuses to pick and add to the selections.
I have tried removing the drives from it and re adding, Ive tried to search for a way to add or recheck a single file (doesn't seem to be available), when i re added the drives again and got it to search the whole lot again it shows the files but doesn't add the and it just shows them for a second and moves on.
The files are different sizes 2 or 3 over 10GB couple around 7GB, we are only talking 8 files from 250 ish.
Issue 2
Ive noticed since i installed if i run a movie with MPC-HC outside of Xbmc (with it not running) The audio doesn't work on the movie anymore yet it does within Xbmc?, i hope it hasn't changed my files in some way.
Issue 3
I was going to have it on Win 8 but it was a pain so i went back to Win 7, by pain i mean unresponsive, lurchy, menus were twitchy and a number of other errors so i binned it and formatted with 7. and it was a fresh format with 8.
General thoughts, its very good though not always intuitive, like the refresh button when you right click a movie when it doesn't have the right cover etc. Refresh doesn't really tell me what it will do (could just be me)
Graphics and the box covers/ art is bitching very clever.
I write software in my spare time and some of the menus just don't work like i expect (again could just be me)
Overall very good but if i cant get it to add my programs , not that usable which is why i am posting this
Thx for any suggestions, if you need any files or anything from it to help solve this just let me know.
