Hi,
I am having problems playing back movies with XBMC Live 9.11 stored on my Windows Home Server and am experiencing movies "hanging" and sometimes I see the "Buffering" message which sometimes can take up to 10-15 seconds to get to 100% so the movie can resume. I have just replaced my old system with a Revo 3610 and was hoping this would go away, but no such luck. This obvious points towards the network being to slow, but I cant work out why this is. Both Home server and Revo is connected to a D-Link desktop Gigabit switch and both adapters report 1000/Full (using sudo ethtool eth0 with putty to XBMC box). I have not got any issues playing pack movies from other computers I have in the house using Windows Media center (connected wired to same switch). I also have 2 wires coming dows to my socket in the living room and tried both, so dont think its any problem with the wire.
Would appreciate if someone could have a look at the debug file
http://pastebin.com/med28e93
and confirm that the "retrieved last packed of queue" message means that the network is too slow, which I assume it does and if there is anything else there that could give any clues. And let me know of any other suggestions to if there are any settings I could look at changing (I have limited Linux experience)
Thanks
Niclas
