Had this issue for the last 2 T3CH builds - was hoping the new one would fix it but installed last night & its the same.

The first 2-3 seconds of any video file I play from the internal drive or external USB drives shows no picture (black screen) and no sound.

If I skip back to the beginning of the file once it has started playing, the first 2-3 secs are visible and play fine?!

Anyone else having this problem? Or is it just me?
I tried searching the forum a few different ways but couldn't find any other mention of this.

Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Sorry about the lack of debug log - I've not used them before but I'm getting the hang of it now

I'm running T3CH XBMC 2010-04-27 SVN rev29407

here is my debug log:
http://pastebin.com/f1b3DNz3

I turned on the xbox (booting into XBMC) then opened one .avi file on an external USB thumb drive and stopped it after a bit. Then I opened a few different video files on the internal hard disk.

Interested in what might be causing this - only been happening in the last 2 most recent builds ie. not a problem for me in T3CH builds prior to 2010.03.10

Thanks again for the help.

Looks lik a problem with your memory stick:

Code:

Yeah, I was going to suggest copying the movie on HDD and see if it plays from there, but now the mystery is solved...

[Tightwad]

The thing is that the videos from the hard drive do the same thing!?

I unplugged the USB drive to check if it was somehow effecting the playback of the files from the internal drive, but I'm still missing the first few seconds of video & audio from every file.

[Dan Dare]

Did you copy the files over from the USB device? Cause the data in those seconds might be corrupted... or did you transfer them over the network to the hdd?

[Tightwad]

The ones I tried from the hard disk have either been transferred via FTP or downloaded with Navi-X.

Its does seem to effect all of the files regardless of format.
