USB and streaming strange issue - Sytten - 19th Oct, 2013 05:07 AM
Hi,
Not sure I posted in the right section but anyway.
I have a really strange issue.
I stream my videos from my NAS over wifi with a cheap usb dongle.
It works great ONLY when the second port on my RPi is connected to something like a keyboard, otherwise I can't open the file and I get an error from XBMC (basically it tells me to go in the log file where I found that the movie couldn't be open...)
Do you have any idea what is the problem?
Thank you
Sytten

Also run "dmesg" and see if there are device errors.
If a powered USB Hub doesn't help - send the output of dmesg and xbmc.log as requested in "Please read first before you post" a link is in my signature.

Well I don't think its a power issue because it works really great when the port are connected to something. I'll try tomorrow to get a log file when one of the port isn't connected to anything we'll see. I did a fresh install so maybe the problem isn't there anymore...
Thank you
