XBMC freezing randomly during video playback
#1
For some reason XBMC freezes occasionally while playing movies, and I can't figure out why. The freeze may happen at the beginning, middle, or near the end of a file. The picture will freeze for about 5-15 seconds, with audio looping at the same time. The video and audio will then return to normal. A pretty innocuous situation, but I'd love to fix it. Does not seem to rely on type of media, resolution, or anything else I can discern.

One thought I had is that it could be a HD access/buffering issue, as I have all my media on a secondary drive. Could that be it?

Also, sorry if I broke some sort of forum etiquette with my initial post. Thanks!
