My issue still remains
I did a clean install of beta 1.1 using the XBian Windows installer. No updates, no other modifications just clean install on 512mb rpi. Only added my TV Shows folder as a source, did not scan to library, did not install addons. Tested a few old episodes that used to play perfect. They freeze, each freeze last 10-20 seconds. and it happens 4-5 times a minute.

All I can think of, something is wrong with my hdd. but when attached to a Windows laptop, I can play everything from it, using xbmc on the laptop.
I tried running fsck but it says error 2:

Terminal

fsck from util-linux 2.20.1
fsck: fsck.ntfs: not found
fsck: error 2 while executing fsck.ntfs for /dev/sda1

Windows said it needed to fix the drive, I let it run and it fixed the drive, lost some files with incorrect Windows filenames (NCIS: Los Angeles). But the issue remains.

Any help much, much appreciated. If I can get this fixed, I will have 1 raspberry available for testing new beta or alpha versions.

New logs after clean install using Xbian installer and nothing updated/no addons/no library, played a few files:

xbmc log
dmesg

Came back from 3 wks holiday, (RPi was on all the time, downloading tv shows via flexget), I unplugged the USB NTFS harddrive (static mount to /media/usb) to copy my holiday photos using a Windows laptop and also a macbook. Now I plug it back in the RPi, run a Library Update since there are so many new episodes. One day later, I try to playback a non-720p episode, just hdtv x264 nothing special.

issue: screen freezes every 5-10 seconds, and it freezes for seconds.. sometimes it mentions "buffering". I never had this issue before with any RPi I installed. Before my holiday, this never happened. I also tried the bigger 720p episodes, same issue. There are no other services running. Flexget is just a task that runs 4 times between 0.00 and 9AM. Transmission is active but has no downloads. I checked CPU usage with TOP: only XBMC has CPU usage, 30-36%. (if I check CPU usage in XBMC it is 100%, is this normal?).

I tried rebooting (via XBMC and SSH) and even did a shutdown in XBMC and waited till only the red led was burning, disconnected power, reconnected. Same issue.

Below my log files.. advice is welcome. I have an ISO backup image.. with xbian and flexget installed but then I have to rescan my library.. not looking forward to that. Also I would prefer to figure out the cause.

dmesg log (filesystem error line 208)
xbmc log (line 356 = hit play, line 396 is renderer error)
