Hello,
I have verified this as a problem on:
xbmc 9.11Alpha2 on Windows.
xbmc 9.04 on xbox
When using xbmc built-in ftp-client to browse a ftp-server, files with a large size are not shown correctly. The filesize is presented as a few hundred megabytes, when the file in reality is 4,5 GB.
I can succesfully stream the movie if the 4,5GB dvd-image file is located inside a multi-file rar-archive on my ftp-server. But if the same .img-file IS NOT inside the rar-archive on the ftp-server, streaming the dvdr movie does not work. Often, the dvd-menu appear, but Im unable to start any chapter of the movie.
If I use other ftp clients to access the same file on a ftp-server (not using xbmc ftpclient), the problem does not exist.
If I use xbmc and access the same file using a CIFS-share on the server, the problem does not exist.
If I use xbmc and acess the same file inside a rar-archive on a ftp-server, the problem does not exist.
I think xbmc ftp-client have a problem with large files, can someone confirm this or even better, improve this?
Please let me know if I can help or provide further details.
This problem should be very easy to reproduce.
(Yes, I know ftp is not the best suited protocoll for streaming content.)
Many thanks for a GREAT product.
