i have moste of my files on my win2k server pc and it works great witht the new smb protocoll but all my mp3s is on my winxp pc and when playing songs i get a choppy playback.
when using relax it works fine but i would like to only use smb.
does anybody know what could be wrong?

are you using the very latest release with the new smb client code?

yepp, thats why i wrote "new smb protocoll"... Wink

i really love it and it works great at my win2k server but not on my winxp pro...

and noting is wrong with my network. i have used several apps to check it. that was my first guess...
and using relax works fin on the winxp pc...

i also use smb shares with winxp and get choppy playback on mp3 files. sounds a bit like a scratched cd. i am using the 0102cvs.

i'll see about installing xp to see if i get the same behaviour. i've only tested on 2k pro.

anybody else having this choppy playback with the new smb on winxp?

using xp pro myself, no choppy playback here.
just did an update to cvs that should remove most crashes and other problems with samba, maybe this will solve your problem to?

maybe you could try copying a file from a samba share to your xbox hdd using xbmc's filemanager. i get around 4 mb /sec.

will try that...

*edit*
note: we continued this on #xbmc...

ktd · 2004-01-06, 04:45

yes! found out how to fix this problem...

nice work bro!

now you can listen to your mp3s in peace!

well, i almost never listen to mp3´s on the box but i hate when things dont work. i sometimes can sit for hours trying to find a solution.
it only took about 1 h for this... Wink

supercool ktd... will try this out asap. the only way i listen to music, apart from regular fm radio, is through xbmc. so fixing this would be a reeeal treat.

i'm glad to say that this tweak applied to my winxp sp1 server had very good effect on my choppy playback of mp3s. Smile

applied reg-file and rebooted machine...

thanx a bunch ktd

a thought to devs though (not complaint): should it be required by the endusers to applythis kind of tweak to get things running smoothly? or is it possible to improve the new smb implementaion to work better with winxp smb shares?

ktd · 2004-01-09, 16:50

good to see the tweak worked for more ppl than just me...

**floink** · 2004-01-10, 11:35

still works fine, with id3 info turned off. if i turn id3 info on i'm back at choppy playback though.

havent tried the playback with id3 enabled cus it takes forever before the list is shown...
