This is my first post of the forum and unfortunately it is about a problem i am facing. I have build a new HTPC and just installed a Win 8.1 pro to it and MC:s latest version. The computer doesnt have any other programs besides win 8.1 pro and MC. I have ripped one DVD using the MC and now i am facing the following problem:
I have two hard drives a 120GB SSD disc which holds the win and MC and a 4TB SATA disk which is supposed to hold all the data. Now the problem i am facing is that when trying to play the ripped movie (on the SATA drive) thru MC it hangs immediately when i make a selection in the movies menu, the famous wheel of fortune starts to spin and you can wait until the end of the world and nothing happens. I have also tried to play the file without any virus/firewall program without success. I then also installed VLC player and tried it and the file plays without any problems.
Now comes the interesting part, if i copy the ripped movie to the SSD drive and play it from there it works 100% or if i place the disc to the drive it works just fine, so it seems MC has a problem with my 4TB SATA drive for one reason or another but VLC player doesnt. I have a log file but where should i send it or does anybody have an idea what and why is causing this problem. The drive should be fast enough and again like said VLC playes it just fine playing the movie/menus from the SATA drive.
Thoughts, ideas??
