Speed of directory you are streaming from - any difference in behaviour when video file is on sdcard/usb/nfs/samba?
Guisetting - does changing "extract thumbnails", "use fanart", "adjust display refesh", display resolution, audio passthrough, vsync etc make any difference?
Advancedsettings - guires?
config.txt - gpu_mem, overclock?
512MB Pi here, normally overclocked to 1GHz but I'm trying it now at stock speeds - and the situation is looking up, as all of my test files are now playing consistently (slower to start, but that's to be expected).
So maybe it's a timing issue/race condition of some kind? I'll start cranking up the ARM and Core speeds to see where it begins to fail...
My current config.txt is below (the commented out items are the values I normally run with, and which work fine in stock OE):
Code:
#gpu_mem=128
#gpu_mem_256=128
#gpu_mem_512=128
gpu_mem=256
#arm_freq=1000
#core_freq=500
#sdram_freq=600
#over_voltage=4
#over_voltage_sdram=2
current_limit_override=0x5A000020
#force_turbo=1
config_hdmi_boost=7
disable_overscan=1
hdmi_pixel_encoding=1
decode_MPG2=0xe99..ea
decode_WVC1=0xfc7..a1
and my current advancedsettings.xml (which also works with OE):
Code:
<advancedsettings>
<!--
<loglevel>0</loglevel>
-->
<fanartres>720</fanartres>
<thumbres>512</thumbres>
<imageres>512</imageres>
<splash>false</splash>
<showexitbutton>false</showexitbutton>
<gui>
<algorithmdirtyregions>3</algorithmdirtyregions>
<nofliptimeout>0</nofliptimeout>
<visualizedirtyregions>off</visualizedirtyregions>
</gui>
<videodatabase>
<type>mysql</type>
<host>freenas2-jail</host>
<port>3306</port>
<user>xbmc</user>
<pass>xbmc</pass>
</videodatabase>
<musicdatabase>
<type>mysql</type>
<host>freenas2-jail</host>
<port>3306</port>
<user>xbmc</user>
<pass>xbmc</pass>
</musicdatabase>
</advancedsettings>
I'm relying on the default advancedsettings.xml in /usr/share/xbmc/system to set the network buffer and lookandfeel settings, so I haven't duplicated those in my own advancedsettings.xml, in which case my guires is 720.
As for guisettings.xml, I delete this when trying your build so that it is created from scratch at boot, in which case all my settings are at default, including the RSS ticker being enabled!
