Hey Guys i seem to be having problems with playing back my anime through xbmc. I`ve updated to the latest codecs and they play in stunning hd through mpc but when i play them through xbmc there all blocky and seem to be picture lag.
Any suggestions?

I am on the Dharma release i havent upgraded to Eden on my htpc yet would this fix it or have nothing to do with it?

are they 10-bit H264?
if so that may be your problem

I'm guessing these files are in an MKV container. What are they encoded in?

Yeah, sounds like you're trying to play 10bit files. All most all of today's fansubs are in 10bit.
The solution: Use DSPlayer

Yes they are MKV

Yes they are MKV

Could it be other software running in the background that slows down your player? Firefox, etc. Also check that hardware acceleration is activated in XBMC.

Hi10P, a foolish decision made by many fansub groups.
