Hey all..
I just picked up a new Apple TV2 and did the jailbreak and loaded up NitoTV and XBMC Eden 11.0 b1 and most everything seems to be working ok except for one thing..
I've noticed I can play 1080p h264 videos from my file server over the network (using SMB protocol) and the frame rate reported in the debug text remains steady..
however, as soon as I play something with subtitles embedded in a MKV container (always H264 video in my case).. the frame rate becomes unpredictable and I start getting audio drop outs and the video losing sync with the audio.
I captured a couple of Debugging XBMC logs of playing the same video through the same section (give or take a couple seconds) over the same wireless connection (wired doesn't make it better.. I've already tried) and when I disabled subtitles, the audio stayed in sync and the frame rate stayed at 24 fps where it belongs with no discernible drops.
The file I logged below is in a MKV container with 720p H264 video and AAC audio (I believe) and has ASS/SSA subtitles
Here are the two logs -
Frame rate Drop - XBMC log http://pastebin.com/LmvdX15M
Steady Frame rate - XBMC log http://pastebin.com/xnszbxLk
If I missed something or you need more information, let me know and I'll fill in the gaps as best I can.
