You really need to provide a ton more information than you have. What is the brand name of the box your using? What CPU chipset is it running? What version of XBMC are you running? What file types are you having problems with?. You will also need to post diagnostic logs

Not sure, but it sounds like an Allwinner A20 box.

Clear Data and Cache and Uninstall XBMC. Then try installing the apk from here: http://www.vidon.me/vidon_xbmc.htm

These are the only builds that I know of that hardware acceleration support for Allwinner SoCs.

I just bought a T-R42 to goof around with. Seems OK but bluray rips stutter and sometimes even causes XBMX to shutdown. This thing is an RK3188. Is there a recent thread for the T-R42? I tried searching "T-R42" but the search doesn't like it.

I doubt the Vidon.me apk would work on this thing, correct?

Only Allwinner devices have to use vidon.me builds.

Your Rockchip has hardware decoding support via libstagefright/mediacodec within XBMC Gotham (13) and greater.

Some people have report problems with MediaCodec for some videos. You can turn it off in the settings and leave Libstagefright turned on or vice versa.

I have same problem it is due to HD videos XBMC unable to play HD like 720p video on AMLogic so there is only one option select sd video instread of 720 or HD and disable option from hardware acceleration for AMlogic (1st option) to avoid audio delay in SD videos

I resolved this by enabling "Sync Playback to display" under Settings > Video > Playback. Leave the A/V sync method on Video Clock.

http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Set...s#Playback

I also created a advancedsettings.xml with the following:

Code:
<advancedsettings>
   <video>
     <!-- fps detection for video playback,
               0 = trust codec fps,
               1 = recalculate from video timestamps with uniform spacing,
               2 = recalculate from video timestamps always
     -->
     <fpsdetect>2</fpsdetect>
   </video>
</advancedsettings>

The seems to have corrected all of my A/V sync issues, even when I skip forward in a video.

[/code]

This is the same issue I have myself. Unfortunately by enabling "Sync Playback to display" under Settings > Video > Playback did not solved the problem.

Can you please elaborate more on how to use the advancedsettings.xml file you just described above ?

Thank you
