Am I the only one having this problem?

No, All DVD's were ripped using Linuxmce so they are all in the DVD file format. Also didn't see any 0 byte cifs files.

Attached is the top readout when this happens

Is iowait in top? I have been watching and haven't seen it.

Yes i've tried top and nothing sticks out,  given I'm running 4 gigs memory and an Intel core duo dual core. Other than that Xine_Player is only about 8% CPU, and memory usage is negligible, nothing goes over 2%.

I'll keep checking top.
Thanks 

Yes all of these have been applied, as I would not be able to view DVD's without them. The weird part about this is it seems to be tied to a clock, in intervals of three minutes at multiples of three. This is driving me nuts!

Actually my bad, I tried the DVD I was watching last night and it is still skipping, along with others. Yes I am using  gig E and a gig E switch. I thought that it could be a network issue at first because it happens only with my NAS, but I tried plugging just the NAS directly to the Hybrid to bypass the switch and still no luck.

Also I have fixed this before but that involes a clean install of Alpha and reformatting the NAS and re-ripping the DVD's. After this it works fine. It's only when I update to the latest version.

Thanks for the reply. All seems well by unchecking Update Media Daemon. But does this mean when I rip a new DVD I need to manually sync the database?

First off great work by everyone in the alpha releases! I have had this problem for some time now. I'm using an Asus P5N7A-VM mobo as a hybrid running latest release alpha 2.35, tried different nvidia drivers, tried running in UI1 and UI2 but no difference, doesn't seem to be a problem with playing directly from disc, and this has happened on previous releases also. The problem I am having is when watching video stored on a Buffalo Linkstation, the video and audio skips every three minutes, but also at multiples of three (example, if it is 10:29 and the video is playing, it will skip at 10:30, 10:33, 10:36 and so on). The only time I have fixed this was a clean install and reformatting my NAS, which obviously I do not wish to do again. I have tried turning off the screen saver, but it didn't help. Any suggestions?

Thanks

I am missing the media "buttons" on my orbiters as well, after a fresh install. If I put a DVD in the remote will pop up as well as the movie auto-starting. Is there a fix to this?

No I know It's the norm, I was just think if he wanted to integrate the Playstation into LinuxMCE by having it control it. I agree completely with what you stated I just was thinking this was the best way to running it which would not have had complete control of the Playstation by his core. Good points.

I know this is kind of against the LinuxMCE norm but, you could use a A/V receiver that does upconverting from input to HDMI output and then use a IR repeater to your core to control it all.

I use Vitelity. Good rates, good set up pages and customer service ain't bad also.

I tried this several times (8168 fix) and the only time I got it to work the connection was extremely slow and unstable. I ended up just buying a second pci nic which Linux picked up immediately. You need to upgrade the kernel to get this board to somewhat work, especially sound.

I now have the sound working but only through SPDIF. Had to upgrade the kernel version to 2.6.28, then install latest alsa drivers (18a). No crackle.
