Dharma - play/pause causes video to freeze, sound continues...
#1
Hey everyone, and thanks for reading.

Since upgrading to Dharma (via PPA), I've had the problem that when you pause/play, on resumption, the sound restarts fine, but the video freezes for a couple of seconds, then speeds up to match the sound - not the biggest problem in the world, but annoying since it was working fine in the previous version of XBMC.

This problem occurs for all videos that I've tried so far (SD .avi and HD .mkv),


I'll try to include all the relevant information.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04, Pentium quad core 2.4GHz, Nvidia 8800GT, 4GB RAM, so my architecture is i686 (32 bit)

SVN Revision is XBMC 10.0 r35648

Debug log is available here:

The problem begins at 19:38:08 in the attached log.

Any ideas? I'd appreciate anything I could try here.

Thanks for reading!

This morning, I've tried a few things:

Upgraded NVIDA drivers and libvdpau as shown below:

This didn't fix the problem, which also occurs with vdpau turned off. This suggests to me that the problem lies within XBMC itself...

Once again, thanks for reading!

look at my video ppa and use the latest drivers, I recommend you image your system before deciding to do anything else like upgrading your xbmc.
