Video freezes with the following debug messages:

Actually, I tried to add the following /flash/cmdline.txt as suggested from other threads.
dwc_otg.fiq_fsm_enable=0
But still no good.

I can still shell in with SSH, but very very slow. Any clues?

Note:
XBMC version: 13.1
openELEC version 4.07
A 15G mkv file streaming over the NFS server using wire connection.
The playback used to be working fine on RASPBMC. Now I switch to openELEC for quicker response but the video freezes.

Those messages are typical buffering due to lack of network bandwidth.
Try copying the file locally (e.g. to sdcard or USB stick) and confirm that plays well.

Probably worth doing some experiments to determine what bandwidth you are getting from network.
Try installing the iperf add-on and measuring bandwidth from NFS server.

Might be worth investigating settings on NFS server (e.g. you may be able to increast max block sizes used).
You can also mount the NFS share through the OS rather than xbmc which tends to get better throughput.

I find something like:

Code:

mount 192.168.4.9:/Public -o nfsvers=3,rw,intr,noatime,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,nolock,async,proto=udp /storage/mnt

improves throughput.

Thanks for your suggestion. It's the problem of the movie itself.
I tried another video of almost the same bit rate, and it plays well. So shouldn't be the problem of OpenELEC.
Just curious why the problematic vidoe played well on RASPBMC before switching to OpenELEC.
Anyway thank you!
