BluRay not smooth in XBMC, works fine in Media Player - rcmpayne - 2014-10-24

Hello All,

I have a Lenovo T410 Laptop set as my HTPC xbmc setup using windows 7 and a displayport to HDMI adapter. So far everything has been running good for 1080P and DTS-MA passthrough for MKV, etc however, i am having some issues with Bluray movies (ios and .m2ts files around 32-50GB) the movies i have been copied to the local HDD to remove network as a issue.

When using XBMC to play these files the video plays but its not smooth however, its not as bad to say its choppy. When i play the file in Windows Media Player, it runs just fine.

i've been playing with some of the settings within XBMC however, have yet to find a settings that fixes this


XBMC: 13.2
Laptop: Lenovo t410 w/ Windows 7
Audio: passthrough DP to HDMI
Video, DP to HDMI
Video chipsets: Intel HD Graphics

You should paste a Debug Log with debug logging enabled. Without a logfile its hard to tell

Well...I don't know for sure, cause I use XBMC on Linux, but it seemed that your hardware acceleration has hickups. I See you use DXVA. IIRC isn't there something like DXVA2 or DXVA-HD? If yes, I would test those. If these failed, too, I would deactivate hardware acceleration and usw software decoding (just for testing).

But I'm only guessing... So please don't blame me, if I'm completely wrong Wink

Ok thanks, I see some other issues, so I am reinstalling windows now as this is a very old install. I will report back.

How is this an XBMC issue? This is using external and proprietary software/codecs


RE: BluRay not smooth in XBMC, works fine in Media Player - rcmpayne - 2014-10-25

i am not saying its XBMC however, when i play the same file in windows media player, it runs just fine. how does the default codecs differ between the two?


RE: BluRay not smooth in XBMC, works fine in Media Player - nooryani84 - 2014-10-26

I'm just saying that the codec and player is proprietary, so I'm guessing they're not necessarily optimized to be used via XBMC.
