Linux 3D video stutters
#1
Good afternoon everyone,

Yesterday I bought myself a 3D television with active 3D glasses. Ofcourse I downloaded a couple of Half SBS movies straight away.
The problem is is that the image is stuttering, It's not the glasses since I see the shocking without the them. I played with the video playback settings but I did not find the correct settings.
From the two movies the first has more stuttering than the second. After a reboot I got the second to play properly but after stopping it the problem reappears.

If anyone can help me identify the problem I would be grateful.

Ok, afther a reboot the first one work just fine. The problem seems afther a stop/resume and xbmc is crashing randomly when I start one. Maybe I should try a reinstall of the system.

What on earth do you mean by "shocking"? That is not a term I recognise in relation to video playback (as opposed to content LOL).

You haven't told us anythig about your system or provided any diagnostics.

video card and driver
version of xbmc
operating system
debug log (wiki) demonstrating the problem
(perhaps) a video of what it is doing wrong.

Haha - guessing english is not the native language here? Do you mean, by any chance, choking as in choppy as in lagging (i.e.: it doesn't playback smoothly and fluently)?
Need help? Check out my XBMC Frodo Guide. It contains full featured guides to Sickbeard and CouchPotato as well.

Shocking is a perfectly good way to describe something in English.

It means terrible, worse than one could possibly believe. Big Grin

Shocking is an adjective, not a noun. "I see the shocking" is not helpful. Anyway, the poster clearly doesn't want any more help as he hasn't been back with any more info.

So it translates to "I see the very bad"

What he needs to do is take a video of his tv screen with his phone or whatever, post it to youtube and pass us a link.

Hello guys,

English isn't my native language (what gave me away ^_^).

My system:
ASRock A75M-ITX
AMD A6-3650, 2.6Ghz
4GB DD3-1600

Linux Ubuntu minimal 12.10 (64 bit)
XBMC PVR Xvba (Frodo stable) with fglrx drivers from the UBUNTU repository.


The problem is that when i'm playing 3D Half SBS movies the image is (stops, flickers,?). 2 out of the 3 movies for so far.
Can It be that 4GB isn't enough or need additional graphics card settings (I work from CLI)

When I get to home I will put it on youtube to show you guys.

OK thanks for the description. Can you also post a debug log (wiki) - put it on pastebin and post the link. Do NOT put your log directly into the forum Smile

Hint.

Code:
sudo apt-get install pastebinit
pastebinit .xbmc/temp/xbmc.log

I just found this topic: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=154860
I'm going to try to change the audio settings like suggested.

With AMD it may be worth looking at the xvba builds - http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=116996

(I dont use AMD video, so this is just a suggestion, someone more qualified may think its bad advice)

How is your cabling set up? PC->TV or PC->amplifier->TV?

If the former, change speaker setup to stereo (2.0).
