WMC freezing on Xbox on boot up

[Rob]

I have been running Windows 7 x64 as a server with Xbox's throughout the house and have had this issue for awhile wondering if you guys might be able to help. When I first boot up a Xbox I have it boot direct into WMC and if I am not pushing buttons on the Xbox remote the remote will be unresponsive inside WMC. And I will be forced to reload WMC on the Xbox either by rebooting it of using the big Xbox button and re-selecting WMC. If I hold the up or down button on the remote during logging into WMC it will work fine for the duration of my TV watching. Anyone got an ideas what could be going on? Thanks!

Freezing usually points the finger at the Server's NIC...likely driver.

I had this problem, I fixed it after removing the libraries from the movies section. I'm not sure of the link of where I found it but the size of the library was freezing it up. I use emby for media now, although the xbox stinks at MKV playback compared to a Nexus player.

I also use Emby for media and use a separate HD for recording and the media library. But it continues to happen anyway. Yeah Xbox drive me nuts with MKV's so I handbrake to MP4.

Quick one here, have you DELETED the Extender from WMC and re-added it ? Found this to fix a LOT of issues with exenders..
