Hello XBMC Community,
Recently I have been trying to perfect my XBMC experience in the past few weeks, but am unable to figure out what could be causing the issue I am currently experiencing with only one of my XBMC machines. Below I have listed by home setup in case it will be needed for understanding my issue more:
XBMC Machine #1 is running off of a MacBook Pro 8,2 with 10.7.5 installed as its Operating System. I am running XBMC 12.3 with the default Confluence skin and the only add-on I installed was Advance Wake-On LAN, so that I may wake the server that contains my media. It is connected to the network by its built in Wi-Fi card.
XBMC Machine #2 is running off of a Raspberry Pi 512 MB Model B with OpenELEC installed as its Operating system. I am running what I believe to be OpenELEC 3.9.5 which has XBMC 12.2 with the default Confluence skin and the only add-on I installed again was Advance Wake-On LAN. It is connected to the network by a Bridge/AP.
Media Server is running off of my gaming computer with Windows 7 installed as its Operating System. I am using MySQL 5.5 to keep store the library, and just basic Samba shares so that the other machines can read them. It is connected to the network by Ethernet directly into my router.
The issue I am experiencing only seems to be happening on XBMC Machine #1, the MacBook Pro, where I will be watching a movie or a television show and randomly it will freeze for a couple of seconds (about 15 to 30 seconds), and without pressing any keys on the keyboard it will stop playback and kick back to the XBMC home screen. I typically only use this machine on the weekends as that is the only time I get to relax in my living room, but I use XBMC Machine #2, the Raspberry Pi, every night in my bedroom before I fall asleep and have not seen this issue yet.
Both XBMC machines have the exact same advancedsettings.xml, which only contain the server address so that I may share the library among them. The only difference in their XBMC configuration is the Custom Shutdown Timer on the Raspberry Pi instead stops playback when it reaches 0.
Here is my xbmc.log on Pastebin.com, which I hopes help figure out what is occurring on XBMC Machine #1.
I turned on Debugging when I was watching The Longest Yard after it had occurred the first time at exactly 40 minutes into the movie. This log is from the second time it happened while I was watching the movie starting at the 40 minute mark until it occurred again, and then I imminently turned off Debugging and copied the xbmc.log file to my desktop so that I may troubleshoot it further. Once I attempted to watch the movie after this issue occurred for a second time it happened three more times, which totaled five times of it freezing and kicking me back to the XBMC home screen.
Thank you to everyone who reads this I really do appreciate any guidance and assistance you could give me, and if there are any questions I would be happy to answer them.
