Everything should be working again on windows and linux, there are some jerks every two minutes or so, I don't know yet what causes that, but it's a lot better than what it was.

It's great, I tried it on Windows! Just watched the killa.sampla and I never seen it so smooth on XBMC! Thanks! Laugh

I put the Win32 version up here: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=7641aa7a97b79def67cd7f7bd65f7eeffd2e9b324de11e2ec95965eaa7bc68bc

(I had to add samplerate.h to get rev. 18986 to build)

What's killa.sampla? By your comment, seems a nice video to test vieo playback smoothness, where can I get it? Tongue

It's a little clip of the movie 'Earth' with a very high bitrate often used to test playback capabilities.

Keep in mind it puts a lot of strain on your cpu, so playback might stutter even though smoothvideo is working fine. I used it for testing because I know it well.

Don't go using the killa sample as a test video because it's got a stupid bitrate (35.0 Mbps) instead check out the ones in my sig.

Thanks.

I just installed this but there's no Smooth Video options in it. Huh

- bobo1on1 - 2009-03-27

That's because it's on by default, I've updated the startpost with new info.

Thanks, I was looking in the videos settings.

Seems my card can't be used as a clock -

Code:
CVideoReferenceClock: CreateDevice returned -2005530520, falling back to QueryPerformanceCounter

So systemclock will be used instead but what does that mean exactly?

- bobo1on1 - 2009-03-28

Hm that error seems to be D3DERR_DEVICELOST, I'll look into that.
When it falls back to QueryperformanceCounter, it means it uses the systemclock for video, so the video will be jerky again.

I did improve that so it won't be as bad as with linuxport.

It's an ATI Radeon HD 2400 if that's any help.

- PolliSoft - 2009-03-28

Hi and thanks for this version!
I can also confirm that this is very smooth, but I get VSync issues on all videos when running a Smoothvideo build.
Bobo, do you have any tips regarding video settings? I have an Nvidia 8600 card.

---Update---
I turned off Triple buffering in the Nvidia settings, and no more Vsync issues. Bobo, great work!!!

:confused2: Wasn't Bobo suggesting the opposite?

I hope somebody will be able to build an updated version to include http://trac.xbmc.org/changeset/19008

This will allow for perfect testing under Windows (without having to suffer through channel misplacement, that is). Thank in advance to the kind soul that will help. ;D
