XBMC/PlexBMC on Raspberry Pi (OpenElec):
Hi,
I have this Raspberry Pi with Openelect (OS). On it there runs XBMC/Plexbmc that connects to a Synology NAS on which my movies are.
Now this works "pretty" well. Some movies show up fine, some don't, som show up after refresh of library (manual or automatic), some don't, some play, some don't, some play with difficulties (ISO), some don't give sound. Some play with XBMC some only with Plexbmc. There is an addin for subtitles, some do play succesfully some don't.
Sometimes video hangs, sometimes I cannot shutdown the sound and have to unplug the Raspberry. Sometimes remote works correctly, sometimes it don't, then I use the apps on my Iphone(Plex for Plex, a XBMC tool for xmbc).
Then I also have DLNA as last resort which plays some movies too.
It drives me nuts, please advise howto have a hassle free solution which plays it all without problems. I would like to just put my movies on the Synology NAS, then watch them with subtitles (if they are not in dutch) on my Raspberry Pi (which is plugged into my tv).
Please advise.

I assume your problems might be in your OpenElec installation or maybe your router is making some mess?
>router won't be the problem, Openelec? It's a default Openelec
How did you install OS? I bought an SD card with Openelec pre-installed and updated to latest version
Did you try factory reset of OpenElec? No, why should I do this? I rather think it's a configuration issue.
What about your OpenElec version? Lates one.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Connected like:
CISCO E2000 router->Synology (wire)
CISCO E2000 router->RasPi (wire)
RasPi->TV (HDMi)
That´s pretty all about connection schema.
On Raspi I have OpenElec installed (3.2.2) and everything works perfect (I am using also USB key for storage rather than have storage on SD card what makes it more faster and responsive)
I play my movies stored on Synology NAS without any problems (avi, mkv, mp4, mov, ... ) and using XBMC plugin for subtitles as well witout any problems. I do not experience playback or sound problems.
Since I have quite same configuration as you I assume your problems might be in your OpenElec installation or maybe your router is making some mess?
