Unable to play certain movies stored on my external Harddrive

[tipsymonkey]

Hi all,

I am having this problem. I was able to add my hard drive full of media content and I was able to play some of my tv shows and movies, but some movies do not play at all. They show up in the menu, I can click on them and then I get the loading icon, but it gets stuck there. It won't actually load the movie. I have to unplug the appletv and replug.

I have about 40 movies all encoded in the same way (handbrake with the appletv preset) and it seems to only do this on random movies. I can't seem to find a common thread between these.

Anyone had this type of behavior?

Thanks,
Raf

can you give me a few examples of the movies that are not playing..

It must have been a fluke. I can't reproduce this anymore.

What I did after I had this problem was I removed my media source and re added it. It scanned all my movies and now I am able to play the movies through the movies section in Boxee.

I'll update this thread if I can reproduce this again.
