I'm using my Pi as a media center with XBMC streaming files off a NAS.
XBMC on Pi freezes video playback for some files but not others (e.g. all mp4 files work). However, the same files are played just fine on other Linux machines through XBMC using the same NAS.
$ file 1991.avi
1991.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 512 x 288, 25.00 fps, video: XviD, audio: Dolby AC3 (stereo, 48000 Hz)
$ file 2008.avi
2008.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 664 x 274, 23.98 fps, video: DivX 5, audio: MPEG-1 Layer 3 (stereo, 48000 Hz)
$ file 2012.avi
2012.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 624 x 352, 23.98 fps, video: XviD, audio: MPEG-1 Layer 3 (stereo, 48000 Hz)
1991.avi fails, but 2008.avi and 2012.avi work just fine. I can't seem to find a reason behind this issue and am open to any suggestions.
