I have been using XBMC for some time now. I just installed it on a new box with ubuntu 9.04
System
Athlon 64 3400+
geforce 440mx
512MB Ram
40GB seagate
dvd reader
onboard audio
onboard nic
Now, when i stream movies to it over SMB it crashes randomly. So, not knowing where to start looking for the problem, i watch top(from my laptop) to see if I can see anything. Sure enough i see the xbmc.bin hit 97% cpu usage and the CPU is taxes at 100% when xbmc crashes. And it doesn't crash it just freezes and i can still hear the audio. What i find odd is xbmc.bin hovers at around 24% during normal playback but spikes unexpectedly.....
I realize that the hardware that i am using is not ideal.
Please help me.
