im trying to figure out if this is an SMB problem with XBMC, or a network issue.  I have my xbox connected to a hub (100baseT half duplex), which connects 2 pcs also.  i have a dedicated music server on 1 of the pcs, i have the xbox setup to play the songs thru smb, the problem is about every 10 or 15 songs a song will either pause several times and continue, or stop in mid song and jump to the next song.  

i dont think its the network, because my other pc can play songs from the server, also thru smb, without ever having a problem.  and ive never seen this happen when playing songs which are on the xbox hd.

is this just a bug maybe? anyone else experience this?

I found that smb was slow and quirky, so I put on ccxstream (tutorial: http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?act...T&f=33&t=55413)

ccxstream is so much faster, even just browsing through directories than using smb was, and its very easy to set up.

i tried ccxstream and the music was getting this loud blip noises every few seconds.. not sure what i did wrong.  can you post your xml entry so i can see it?  also, did you use it as a service?  if so what did you put in the parameters section?

from my xml file:

CODE

MP3s-1 (XBMS)      xbms://192.168.0.2:1400/mp3s-1                    MP3s-1 (XBMS)      xbms://192.168.0.2/mp3s-1

hope that works..

CODE

-l 192.168.0.2 -S mp3s-1=f: -S mp3s-2=g:
