Anyone had this happen?
Seems to crash randomly in some movies or in the same place in others??

All movies are < 1 gig

Cheers

this may sound stupid but its whats causing it . ive had it happen to me

turn off your computer's screensaver (the computer your sharing the files with)
because if your running a file on your xbox from your computer and its screensaver comes on the file drops and crashes

hope that helps

I can believe that, although, i don't have a screen saver running, my monitor does go into standby after a while.... Will try it!!
I don't remember having any problems with relax, so i will try that tonight too.

Hmmm, actually, no it doesn't, it went all night last night without going into standby! So i must have it turned off and also have no screensaver, so it can't be that.....

ok so your shares show up ? and they play ? but....then they drop after so often?

is that right?

I have also been running bit torrent but i't not even gone above 12k/s.

been checking the buffer aswell, it stays at 99% but drops when it hangs.

does this happen when you listen to music over a share?

after the video crashes do you still have an IP and aare you still connected to your network
if so do the shares still show up?

i would check your network cable before goin any farther also

LargePig · « **Reply #8 on:** November 13, 2003, 06:58:00 AM »

Havn't used it much for music, but hasn't happened when i have.
Assuming i can get out of the video and it hasn't hung my xbox completeley, i can then go and load another video or the same video from the network, and usually i can fast forward to the point it crashed at, and it will play right through it, however, sometimes i have to reboot the box to get anywhere at all.

I have transferred 3 and a half gigs (halo) to my pc fia ftp with no drop out, and have no problems on live.

smb shares arent very stable. ive never completed a whole movie when using smb. relax is the way to go.

I just set up SMB on my system and have been getting cut off randomly in the middle of MP3s. It just stops and goes to the next track in the folder. It happened three times in the first half hour. If SMB is problematic I'll switch to Relax.

SMB is very problematic.. Relax seems stable as all hell, it's never crashed on me once and the pc i run it on is a p133 with 32mb ram in win98se.

LargePig · « **Reply #12 on:** December 04, 2003, 09:30:00 AM »

I changed to relax no and it seems much more stable, but still carshes some times in movies, i have to reboot the xbox.

My pc is a 1gig athlon
256Mb pc100 ram
windows xp pro

Anyone got this on relax?

Just an idea, could this have anything to do with the amount of cache you set in the config.xml file?

I noticed that the default cache is set higher for video than it is for music. Perhaps the default cache isn't enough. I've been having problems with SMB shares with video suddenly fast forwarding to the end or crashing like halfway through the movie.

I will only use SMB shares since my network ip addresses are always changing and SMB is the only one that doesn't require you to enter ip addresses for each computer.

Hi there

've been browsing and looking for similar case..

my relax is not in love with bittorrent and internet connection..

i 've set up my relax and it's been working really nice for few days now
BUT
the moment i enable LAN connection to xbox, my bittorent transfer goes down to zero. my DSL internet also.. practically impossible to surf.

it stops when i disable local netork.

?

my Q is:
is that normal for RelaX?

another Q:
is there a way to normally surf while straming to xbox via LAN, both at the same time?

here is some of my config.xml
