Hi everyone, I have an external hard drive on an XP computer which has a shared folder that is automounted when I boot my media centre PC on Ubuntu. This contains all of my media files which are referenced through Freevo, its working fine playing .avi movies using Xine, with fluid playback but playing mp3 files is another story. Using Mplayer or Xine I can't get through 2-3 minutes of music without a pause of a second or two in the playback. Most of my mp3 files are 256-320 kbs but I have tried this with 160 kbs files and still get the same results. I have tried putting the MPLAYER_AUDIO_CACHE_KB up to 5000 from within Freevo but still can't get reliable playback, yet outside of Freevo without any manipulation of Mplayer settings there is no problem playing these same files. I can even stream audio over the LAN at 192kbs using Shoutcast from the Windows PC and play this on Freevo without skipping. Something similar happened with CD playback - from within Freevo there were regular pauses and I had to change the Mplayer CD cache settings to 4096 - this seems to work but makes for huge pauses in random play or when skipping to another track as the cache is filled. Is there any reason for this discrepancy in performance and any way I can circumvent these problems from within Freevo?
Thanks.
