XBMC with new hardware. all videos are jerking
#1
Hi,

i have a new HTPC with i5 4430S and Intel DH87RL Mainboard and Zotac GT630 graphics card.
Unfortunately all my videos are jerking. It is really annoying.

All videos are playing with VDPAU acceleration.

"Adjust display refresh rate to match video" is on
Vertical Sync is always on.

What can i do?

Do you need further information?

You can find my log here:

You open 6 channels on your TV, which only has two.

Change your speaker layout to 2.0 and disable all the Audio Codecs it does not support (DTS, AC3, TrueHD, DTS-HD, AAC, ..)
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

This is strange,

under System - Audio my settings are set to Analog and 2.0.
Audio Output is set to HDS NVidia, SAM SAMSUNG on HDMI

Can you show me the corresponding log entry?
I can not find the opening of 6 channels in that log.

However, i restarted the system and created a new log.

That log looks good, no diconts:

Quote:22:48:29 T:140690177410816 INFO: CSoftAE::InternalOpenSink - keeping old sink with : AE_FMT_FLOAT, FL,FR, 48000hz

Also fine in the log.

Can you retry with a nightly:

Code:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:team-xbmc/xbmc-nightly
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbmc xbmc-bin
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Take care of the new settings hierarchies, if you miss a setting, press left to get the sidebar and set it to Advanced.

Sorry, i have to write again.

First, thank you for your support so far.

I installed a fresh new system with the latest nightly build of xbmc.
I still have the same problems and i am getting Discontinuity2 messages in my log.

Is that on wireless lan? Play a local file. Disable vaapi in the Video -> Playback Settings, keep vdpau and the vdpau mixer.

Please play that sample and post the log again: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5572...lannad.mkv (it does not have sound - play it from the local disk)

Hi fritsch,

i tested your file.

http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=63993

I have a wired connection to my Synology. I was connected over Samba to the NAS and now i am trying NFS.

With NFS i have make a performance test with the tool dbench.
Result was an average of 17 MB/s.

I don´t know whether this is good or not.

Hi,

i thought i solved this issue with switching from SMB to NFS.
But with NFS i get the same behaviour.

I tested with another file and sometimes (i think it is not deterministic) the video playback stutters. Audi is always ok.

Here the mediainfo output
