[QUOTE="james.r, post: 310087, member: 82628"] I've installed media portal last week and it LOOKS great unfortunately when it access' any of my vidoes it takes on average to go from the folder menu to the films around 40 secs, then once the film is chosen it takes another 40 secs to play, then the same if you want to stop the film and go back to the film menu or the main menu. With music it takes even longer and when I try playing a song it sometimes crash's? The spec of my PC is: Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H Motherboard AMD AM2 Athlon 64 2gb Memory MicroATX Case 80gb SATA HDD 380w PSU BlueRay/HD Combo Drive 1tb MyBook World Edition (NOT running Mionet) I have around 350gb of films and 160gb of music all stored on a networked drive which I have now attached to a switch situated right next to my PC in attempt to speed up the connection (previously it was in another room hooked up to a home plug). There seems to be no problems when your in a menu and MP itself boots up quickly it's just seems to be when you access the hard drive. I have Itunes which has no speed problems with music and when you access the hard drive in "My Computer", as I have it mapped, there are no speed issues when accessing the movie and music folders directly. Any suggestions welcome its driving me mad :( Cheers [/QUOTE]
