I've pushed a commit to newclock3 that improves 6-channel / 96 kHz FLAC playback for me.

These files are quite demanding, and you are likely to get stutter when Pi is busy.
I see stutters during the first minute after launching xbmc when add-ons are updating, and I can provoke them by scrolling the movie fanart view for example.

When xbmc is left alone, or just browsing through menus without fanart it played fine for me, with or without visualisation.

@MrNice Can you test with this build:

Are you using Amber as a skin?

No confluence

Edit: Although I did have amber running for a while during that time. But not when it got stuck on dim.

I've seen this with official too, some months.ago. With 3.2.x even.
Don't know what caused it but suddenly it stopped and I haven't seen it since.
I can go back to those versions without being able to recreate it.

Edit: I could make it go away starting a movie making the TV switch HZ and then stop it again.

I have posted about the MP3 problem here:

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1687868

My problem is the latest release is adding every single track to the playlist whenever I hit play within songs, the only time it doesn't do this is if I play a specific album and it adds each track to that album. Makes playback almost impossible Sad

Is this different with older versions of xbmc?

24-bit/96 kHz/5.1 music encoded in ALAC (Apple lossles) plays back mostly fine on non-overclocked Raspberry Pi, if you follow this:

set visualisation to none,
play in full screen...
... with no info ribbon,
and stop any remote control Apps and Web browser remotes, which kills performance,
prefer music compressed with FLAC CODEC (shameless plug: FLAC decoding is cheaper (uses less CPU)).

Tested on OpenELEC 3.95.7.

This is the same setup I have
Could you please download the free files in the links in the first post and let me know.
Try the first piece "Mozart: Violin concerto in D", column Surround 5.1 FLAC 24BIT/96kHz, it's the file I play for testing

Edit: I could try the test you did in the link but I don't understand exactly how to install time-xbmc-music.sh.
