Try moving the same file to your local hard drive.

Yeah, I second iodornez on this one...I don't think USB has enough bandwidth for 1080p, which is why you're prolly seeing the buffering...

My USB drive plays 1080p fine. Even 20Mbps is only 2.5 megabytes per second. USB2 can do 480Mbps, which is ten times higher than the infamous "bird" scene.

I'm not saying USB can handle it, I'm saying your drive might have problems... try moving the files to your local drive just to rule it out. I play all my movies off a USB 2.0 drive just fine

Are you sure its not just buffering at the start of the second file of a stacked movie? The only hi-def stuff I have is ripped by me as a single file so I can't check but xbmc does say "buffering" at the start of it. I'm guessing but it would follow that it was doing that at the start of every file so you would get it mid movie if the movie is in 2 parts

Sometimes the file even take up to one minute to start. Previous builds did some quick buffering in the beginning, but then none during the feature. I have tried to disable the HD upscaling for SD files, but it still occurs. Strangely enough not on all files. |

If you get the buffering message make sure to try playing the file from your local drive...

Ok, I moved the file to my local HDD and it works, so you telling me that I have to move all files or the movies to my local drive in order to stop that buffering ?
strangly enough it doesn't happen all the time, it happens from time to time. I have a 500gb using firewire and it works flawlessly. Doug |

Since all the previous builds worked perfectly without this buffering message for SD files, I dont think the issues I experience are related to that. I did go back to the previous build last night and now all work perfectly, no buffering on SD content, nor HD content. I guess I have to do with that until next build
