Pauses after a few seconds - mkmitchell - 2012-02-02 System: Athlon 64 X2 3800 2gb ram I've tried both a GeForce 6800 and a 9600GSO Windows server 2008 XBMC versions : 10.1, DSPLAYER, 11.2 This is a fresh install of windows with the newest updates and drivers for all my devices. Problem - Any video (HD or SD) freezes after 7 to 9 seconds of playing. I can skip ahead and it again plays for 7 to 9 seconds before freezing again. I've tried this on XBMC versions 10.1, 11.2, and a custom one that had DSPlayer installed (I don't remember the name, sorry). I've tried turning on DXVA hardware acceleration, and I have sync playback to display off. VLC plays the videos fine and I believe I'm just going to setup that as an external player if I can't figure this out. Thanks in advance for any advice. - mkmitchell - 2012-02-02 By hitting "o" on the keyboard while the video is playing I can watch my "vq" drop from 100% to 0%. When it hits 0 it freezes. CPU usage is <60% - jhsrennie - 2012-02-02 Enable debug logging from System settings, System, Debugging, and restart XBMC then wait a minute or two for all the startup tasks to finish. Start a video and wait for it to freeze. Skip ahead then wait for it to freeze again. Now stop the video and close XBMC. Open the debug log by pressing Windows-R and in the Run dialog type: "%appdata%\xbmc\xbmc.log" (including the quotes). Click OK and the log should open in Notepad. Copy and paste the log into http://pastebin.com/ and post the link it gives you here. JR - mkmitchell - 2012-02-02 Thank you very much. Here is the log: http://pastebin.com/x6qzCdmx - jhsrennie - 2012-02-02 You have a problem with the audio output. Do you get the navigation sounds as you move around in XBMC? Windows 7 and 2008 helpfully disable the audio device if it detects no speakers are connected, and this causes XBMC to hiccup. Try temporarily connecting a pair of headphones. JR - mkmitchell - 2012-02-03 You hit the nail on the head. I enabled the audio service, plugged in some speakers and the movies play perfectly. Thanks for your help! - WiSo - 2012-02-03 jhsrennie, the one man answering machine nice |
