Having problems playing back 1080p content, there are a large amount of frames being dropped, leading to choppy looking video. Audio however is fine.
Played around with the sync settings, etc. but nothing made a difference. I also noticed that 720p content was dropping frames every now and again (around 20-30 over 40min).
Last night I switched off VDPAU and performance actually improves. 1080p content still doesn't play correctly, however it now plays smoothly until it starts to buffer which happens at least every few min. 720p has stopped dropping frames completely.
Shouldn't hardware acceleration improve the playback? I've probably got something set up incorrectly but I'm at a loss for where to start looking.
My set up is as follows:-
OS - XBMCbuntu
CPU - Athlon 64 X2 4200+
RAM - 2Gb
MB - ASUS M3N78-EMH HDMI with built in GeForce 8200 chipset
Any ideas?
