Playback issue. Takes a very long time to load some movies.
#1
Hello, I have a problem with playback, when I try to open some movies/videos I sometimes have to wait up to 5 min before it even starts.

It seems as if 95% (or more) of the vids, make XMBC freeze for about 5 min (can be between 2-5 min) then it starts without any probs.

I am running Windows XP.

I have updated the latest graphics drivers motherboard drivers, cpu drivers, etc.
Still no improvement.

If you have any ideas why this might be, then i'd appreciate it a lot.

The debug log will tell you exactly why. My guess is that you have one or more corrupt files in your folder that it's trying to extract streamdetails/thumbs for. Thus, it waits for the thread before playback commences, which can be quite a while.

Allright, so I started an episode, got that freeze thing, and I took the log from when I started it, (It froze), to when it started.

And here it is.

As I said, it will freeze on almost any video in any folder, doesn't really matter.

ZipManager: broken file rar://C%3a%5cDocuments%20and%20Settings%5cAdmin%5cApplication%20Data%5cXBMC%5ccache%5cue3e%2epart1%2erar/ue3e.zip

There ya go - notice the timestamps around that.
