To start with, I love XBMC. The software is awesome and I would enjoy contributing to it's development if help is needed or wanted.
Now on to my issue. I've searched the forums for this one and found similar issues but nothing so far like this issue I am encountering. I apologize in advance if this was already covered.
I have movies that are in MKV format, a single file with thier .IFO file in the same directory. These files play perfect on their own in any folder without Library management. Once configured for Movie content (which was tricky) the IFO files are scraped properly and the library appears happy (and looks great BTW). But...
...when I try to play a movie in the Library mode XBMC crashes. For example:
Movie: Iron Man
Filename: IRON_MAN_DOM.MKV
IFO: VIDEO_TS.IFO (going from memory, but pretty sure this is the name)
Location: /Volumes/NewerTech Ministack/Movies/IRON_MAN_DOM/
Default Location: /Volumes/NewerTech Ministack/Movies/
Content: Movie
Both files are contained in said Location.
My Hardware:
Mac Mini 2.0 Ghz
Ministack 1TB drive
Plasma 50" Panasonic... or Sony 36 inch CRT, either works great!
My Software:
Leopard 10.5.5
Now, I'm assuming I've missed something. Again, the MKV works almost PERFECTLY standalone, but when managed by the library or even in File mode when there is a thumb on the folder and XBMC tries to run the movie when clicking on the folder XBMC crashes. If I move the movie up to the root and play it directly from there is works but there is not thumb for it.
Any ideas?
