Hi everybody,
First my compliments to the devs for creating, in my opinion, the best looking mediacenter software out there.
However, as the tread title might reveal, i've got a problem.
I'm running Gentoo, with as good as all the latest packages.
XBMC starts perfectly, shows thumbnails for every video file, builds libraries, everything.
But when i select a file to play, like an MP3-file or a random video file, XBMC freezes. Pictures do load, albeit very slowly. Menu's are slow too. XBMC freezes on trying to change the skin too, but when i kill the process and restart it again the skin actually has changed.
I'm running an AMD X2 3800+ cpu with 8GB RAM, and a GF 7600GT card.
Log files show nothing indicating errors, and the console doesn't give any usefull info either, even after compiling XBMC with the debug-use flag on.
File permissions are all OK.
Does anyone have a clue about what's wrong here, and which steps should i take if noone knows?
Many, many thanks in advance!
