Hi all,
I have an ACER 3600 ION with dual boot win7 and LIVE XBMC instlled to HDD.
All worked fine and was perfect (almost instant) when all movie files were on a networked PC.
However since I've transferred all movies to a NAS (Freecom Network Drive 1TB) things have gone horribly slow when navigating to the folder?!
My setup is as follows:-
SMB share setup on a NAS called VIDEO_01 the shared folder is PUBLIC/VIDEO. When browsing or adding it as source I get perfect navigation speed to //VIDEO_01/PUBLIC but as soon as select the VIDEO folder BAM!
1.5mins later the folder is accessed.
If you try this on a PC it is instantaneous.
I get exactly the same issue (a different HDD but same model) with my music but, as I have more files there the time taken to access the music folder is about 10mins!
Any help would be nice as I can see this is only going to get worse the more files I add.
I have tried adding the source with all the servername and folder info but no joy there (side effect is I now have lots of shares in network choice, that I can't seem to get rid of now?)
Also checked drive is not sleeping as this happens everytime.
Thanks in advance,
Fliposide.
