Xbmc Freezes

[Shieldz]

XBMX - Gotham 13.0 Droid Box X7

Whilst watching streamed movies, regular freezes (both picture & sound) and magic mouse cursor also becomes frozen.

Any ideas on how to resolve this issue ?

Does it freeze in XBMC only? If yes, try to clear XBMC Data folder - Go to Android Settings -> APPS -> XBMC and select Clear Data.
Then Open XBMC and go to Videos -> Addons -> DroidBOX Wizard and select addons pack for DroidBOX X7.

Please let us know if that helped.

Followed your above instructions, however on playback within XBMC the movie still stops playing at around 23 minute intervals, and returns to the start of the movie. I can manually move the playback head to where it stopped and again it plays for another 23 mins.

My internal storage available on DroidBox is: 1.15GB

Nand Flash space available is : 154MB

Do you advise that maybe I should increase XBMC Cache Space ?

If so What is the best way to do this ?

Would you suggest this method is the best way ?

I did try to increase the Cache Space via the method shown in the above YouTube video.

This has NOT rectified the problem.

Please advise how I can rectify this problem

Can you check which version of XBMC you have installed please? Depending on the skin you're using, you may find a System Info sub-menu underneath the System menu.

To Clarify, this problem only occurs in XBMC as successfully streamed over 30 mins of a Youtube Video from within the You Tube App with no problems at all

Followed the instructions in this video and so far it seems to have solved the problem. Fingers crossed
