Win Scrambled picture anime
#1
The last year I've been using XBMC without any major problems for movies and tvshows. However, recently I also started using XBMC for watching my anime. Most of the shows and movies play fine, but for some shows I get a scrambled picture. Example: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_7wuaW...sp=sharing.

The picture isn't scrambled like this all the time. It constantly shifts between a few seconds of scrambled picture and a few seconds of unscrambled picture. The audio plays fine all the time. Playing the movie on my pc using MPC gives no issues.

I'm running XBMC 12.1 on a Win7 machine with an Intel i3 540 integrated videocard.

I enabled debug logging, which can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_7wuaW...sp=sharing

This is the mediainfo for one the files that gives this problem:

Turn off DXVA2 hardware acceleration, with an i3 CPU you don't need it. It doesn't happen on the second video because that's a Hi10p file which can only be software decoded so DXVA2 won't be used on that file.

A big thanks from me as well. I was about to post a similar question when I stumbled across this one. Fixed the same problems here as well.
