But has any one else noticed streaming over local network is taking a lot longer to start playing just in the last 2 builds?

try set video buffer on local network to a lower value

hi folks

i'm running the Nov 4th build - ran into an issue with dvd menus (i use straight dvd backup -> iso, no compression)

when i first go into a dvd menu, i can navigate around just fine.  however, when i go to something, then come back to the menu, i can no longer navigate around.  as i move the arrow keys, the highlight doesn't follow - however, it appears to navigate correctly.  if, for instance, i select an item, watch it, hit stop, then go back to the menu, then hit the down arrow i will not see the highlight move.  but, it will play the next item i moved to.

hard to explain, hope that made sense.  interestingly, if i choose to go back to the main menu, it will all start working again.

thanks as always - been using xmbc for well over a year and couldnt' live without it!

Thanks, this was the first thing I tried. I have local network video buffer at 2048kb. I did try it on 256kb and also tried with buffer off. Still no joy. I just don't get it. Only on the last 2 builds. Im on a wired network and simply have media directory on PC shared. No users defined, no passwords. PC is firewalled, obviously, but XBOX is in trusted IP range. It still streams the media, but it takes about 10 to 15 'long' seconds to start playing where on every other build, it has started straight away.

Only thing I can think of, this was in change log for Revision 2007-11-15 10758, and this is the build where my problem started:

2007-11-15 10758 added: proper detection of if stream is on local LAN changed: mplayer now only
prefills cache to 5% when file is on HD or local LAN, should allow quick startup even with rather large cache.

I'm by no means a noob on the box, or on a PC, but not sure of this.

Source of my problem?  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/uhh.gif)

I have the same problem... It's gone from almost instant playback to around 5+ seconds.
I tried setting the buffer  lower. Files on the Xbox start fine.

I've just upgraded to XBMC 2007-12-03 SVN rev10891 and it's doing the same thing. So I'm going to post in that forum too.

Last version I had before this one was fine. XBMC-SVN_2007-10-15_rev10538-T3CH
