Setup:
The majority of my collection is xvid. And I play them from a
Windows XP Professional samba/cifs server on my AppleTV (Firmware 3.01?)
Using the latest beta of XBMC camelot beta 1 I believe.
Problem:
While playing video from samba server the video will freeze -- audio too.
It appears that the AppleTV is hung. However hitting buttons on the remote
make the LED on the front blink. Also, if I hold down the center button for
the D-Pad menu it does pop up. Selecting stop or pause will hang the box completely.
This has been going on with I believe 2 AppleTV's on different versions of XBMC.
Sometimes it works GREAT! Then sometimes it has this problem almost every video. It might get 15-20 minutes into it and then stop.
My Theory:
Somehow the Windows Samba/Cifs server discontinues this session.
(another) It might be over time the XBMC install gets corrupt. As
Resetting the AppleTV, Repatching, and installing XBMC seems to be a temporary fix for this issue.
If anyone has any ideas to try, please let me know!
Thanks.
