My problem is XBMC will not play Video. If I press pause / play it will make the movie play for 5 s and stop again. Rewind and fast forward plays fine on x32 speed. I am trying to play DVD backups (SD Mpeg2) from a server. I have another machine with Phenon x2 and it plays everything fine. Also have a dual xeon (daul P4 Gallatin 3.2/2M/533 with 2GB ram and ati X1) 3.2Ghz and plays everything great. But my new computer (Dell 740) will not play the movies right. All movies are stored on a server (fedora) and connects with samba.
I tried downloading the movie to the desktop and playing it from the desktop but I get the same result. The download happens fast ~40MB/s which is limited by the slow HDD (80GB). Other machines on my network can download/upload up to 120MB/s to the server. So I dont think the problem is with the server.
Here is my configuration
Win 7 64Bit
Athlon X2 5600+
1gb ram
Win 7 64bitg
Nvidia N430/6150 chipset
Ati HD4650 video card.
If I turn debugging on I see the frame rate go from 60 frame/s to 9.9 frames (CPU at ~3%) when I want to play a movie. When I press pause/play the frame rate goes to 24 for 8 seconds and plays the movie and then stops again. If I press pause / play again it will not play it again. If I skip to another location and then press pause/ play if will play another 8s. If a FF I see the FF movie.
I tried this with 2gb of RAm but I get the same result.
Tried without the Ati card and get the same result but more CPU usage (~60%).
I tried uninstalling XBMC and reinstalling it the result was the same. Tried Nightly build Direct X - same result (but first needed Directx install from MS cause it cried about missing DLL's).
I am almost giving up on XBMC on this setup.
Any help would be great.
