Hello,
I have installed XBMC12.2 on my new HTPC and now have two problems left in using XBMC:
- Some movies are not playing wel (stuttering)
- Stereo/mp3 sound from movies/series/music and also the navigation sound doesn’t work. 5.1 on the other hand works fine (f.e. AC3)
To start, my HTPC is well oversized for its role, it’s a new shuttle SH87 with an intel i3 4330, 8 Gb ram and 120Gb SSD (no separate graphics card), I have installed Ubuntu 12.10LTS. 1Gb of ram is via the bios assigned to the build in gpu. It’s working fine and fast. The HTPC is connected via HDMI to a Yamaha AV receiver Avantage RX810 (recent model 7.1) which is used to connect all the other input devices to the TV screen. The movies and music in my library are stored on a Synology NAS all connected via a wired 500 mbit/s network.
What have I analyzed and tried so far?
1. The movies that stutter are not specially large; the example in the log is a SD movie. A lot of HD movie play fine so it looks to me that the network is not the problem. On my windows pc the example movie (.avi) from the log file play fine with VLC.
2. The stereo sound has worked yesterday, but today it didn't anymore so I have tried a lot of combinations in the settings based on studying the forum articles. The log file that i created is with the settings speaker config on 2.0 and only the basic pass throughs activated. That is the setting adviced in the forum in this case I think. The Yamaha supports all the possible variant in XMBC for pass through so that settings don’t matter. That part works fine.
Please your advice, past evening I want to look some movies with my wife but I had spent the time on searching for a solution and not finding it is a bit frustrating.
