HD Video Stuttering

Gyruss · 2012-05-30 22:18

Hi

I am using the latest nightly build on Windows 7 64bit.
My 720p videos are no longer playing back smoothly. I can confirm that they played back perfectly with the Eden release & also before that.
I've messed with every setting I can think of but nothing makes any difference. The same videos play back perfectly still in VNC, WMP etc.

I've pasted a debug log below. Can anyone help?

I think you should report this in the bug tracker. Althought is a nightly build you can espect this problems.

I had first time working with my Lenovo and XBMC the same problems.
I found out different ways for me solving that.
First: have a look to your interlace settings...have to be on "auto"
Second if First won't solved the problem: have a look to your hardware settings, if it is 1080p 60 or 50Hz
>>> I don't no why the hardware settings of the Lenovo had influence to XBMC
output...but...I solved that on this way
Thrid: the AV Receiver has to be set on "auto" for picture in order to recognize 24p or not
>>> if the settings are e.g. on 24p the 720p won't work

I've tried the bug tracker but it doesnt let me log in.

OK I've experimented a little & discovered its movies which have 5.1 audio are the problem. If I change the audio output to 2.1 it plays back perfectly (although obviously no longer in 5.1 surround).
Anyone got any further ideas? I've check & I'm using the latest sound card drivers.

Sorry to bump this thread but has anyone got any suggestions? I seem to have tried everything but with no joy.

In the Audio Ouput settings, uncheck the option "Dolby Digital (AC3) capable receiver".

OK I tried that. Now the movie takes about 5 seconds longer to start & has no sound at all. Although the playback is smooth this time lol.
Also I noticed with this setting, if I tried to skip to a later part of the movie, the playback just froze & I couldnt get it to resume playing.
Switchtng the AC3 option back on gives me the sound back & the abliity to skip forwards but the stuttering comes back. its almost as if someone is very quickly clicking pause/play every so often (once or twice a second).
