After some minutes the video and audio starts to stutter and the fps drop from 24 to 5. Pausing the movie and unpausing solve temporarily the problem which reoccurs apparently randomly after a few minutes. I've tried WASAPI and DirectSound out via HDMI with no change.
My setup is Htpc--->Avr--->Tv
With Eden I never had this problem.

The problem happened at 14:53 in the log file

Did you try the final version of Frodo?

Master.Mg · 2013-02-04, 20:38

I am already using the latest stable version.
XBMC (12.0 Git:20130127-fb595f2), Platform: Windows 7 SP1 64-bit, build 7601.

All devices are connected via HDMI cable.

Try uninstalling then completely removing the Realtek drivers, see the sticky http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=146911

Master.Mg · 2013-02-04, 22:38

I will try as soon as possible.
If it can be useful the problem occurs at the time of approx 14:53 in the log file.

I went through the log and there doesn't seem anything really wrong, however Realtek drivers in conjunction with AMD GPU's don't always seem to play nice with the redesigned audio system in Frodo.

Master.Mg · 2013-02-05, 20:00

I uninstalled the Realtek driversbut the problem remains.
After 14-15 minutes the sound stutters for a few seconds (it seems to me also that the fps decrease) and after about 14-15 minutes it happens again.
It is the same effect that would get putting and removing the paused quickly.

I did other tests with other files and I found that the problem ALWAYS happens after 14 minutes and 36 seconds (audio passthrough to the AVR).
With files with AAC audio (PCM to the AVR), the audio, after the usual 14 minutes, becomes distorted for several seconds.
During playback of files with AAC codec I also noticed occasional “click noise”.

Try disabling your addons one-by-one - something is not right here:

Add-on debug messages are normal

Repeating 1189 times?

Hmm well that is a bit much yeah.
Some script could not be playing nice.

At least the message is removed for 12.1
However theres a small time gap after that line so it should not interfere but anything is possible

DDDamian · 2013-02-06, 18:01

Which would mean missing the issue.

Master.Mg · 2013-02-06, 18:05

I disabled all the add-on, leaving only the default ones, but the problem remains.

I attach a new log.

Comparing the two that log is *much* different. It would appear to be throwing out a ton of packets, which it wasn't in the first log.

If I had to guess based on the second log it's a bad DTS mux, and DVDPlayer is constantly skipping packets trying to match the timestamps.
