I have this wierd issue with my XBMC setup... When i view movies, sometimes i get these black screens, that are lasting about 10-15 seconds. And they come totally random.
Another problem is that the movies sometimes "slow-down". So you cant watch the movie or hear the sound, unless you wanna watch it in slow-motion.
System Setup :
CPU : Intel Core I3 2100T @ 2.5Ghz
MotherBoard : Gigabyte H61M-D2-B3
Memory : 4GB 1600Mhz CL7 (2*2GB)
VideoCard : GeForce GT 520
OS : Windows 7 64Bit
XBMC version = 10.1
Skin = Night
Not anything else fancy.
Anyone who have experienced something like this before ?? that may have a solution?

You might post a debug log from a time when the black screens or slowdowns happen. See my signature for info on how to do that. Also, what OS are you using?

dxva playback is known to have been broken by an Intel driver update since Dharma's release.
Either turn dxva decoding off or try a nightly version, where the problem was fixed.
The nightlies are not stable, random things might break but they've been pretty good lately.

i'll try to turn of the "dxva decoding off" and see if it cures the problem.
What does the dxva actually do ?

okay thank for the explanation on DXVA, i'll try to watch a movie later without the DXVA on. and i'll post back and tell if it helped...
The funny thing is that i have had the same problems on a AMD system.

Forget what I wrote about broken dxva, you have a GT520 so the i3's GPU is not used.
There are lots of keypresses in your log, but other than that nothing special. The problem may be the video you're trying to play.

I'm still receiving the random black screens, but i haven't had the issue with the slowed down audio.
