First of all, debug log is here: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=203953
Okay, subject says it all. Some videos (not all) are majorly out of sync since updating to Gotham. Log was generated with 13.1 Beta 1, but the same thing happened with 13.0. I'm using refresh rate switching, videos are 23.976 fps, with 24 refresh rate. I've always had the constant sync issue where I have to add a delay in advancedsetting.xml for 24 fps material. I tried it without the advancedsettings.xml file, and it did not make any difference, except that all the videos had the constant sync problem. Disappointed not to see this fixed yet.
Some key points:
This happens whether or not I use audio pass through, or have XBMC decode it.
This happens regardless of what type of audio sync I select (drop/dupe, etc)
The OSD shows the error at 700% or above when the sync is off.
If i jump 30 seconds forward or back, the sync corrects itself and the error goes down to near 0%. Pausing or stopping and restarting will cause it to go out of sync again.
This happens with DXVA decoding. This does not happen with full CPU decoding. This also does not happen if I don't use refresh rate switching.
Videos in question play correctly on v12.3 (and all versions prior to 13.0). They also play correctly with other software.
PC is connected via HDMI to a Pioneer Receiver, connected to a Vixio 55" LCD. Radeon HD6450 graphics.
This was installed on a test machine. It has a much faster processor than the machine I usually use for XBMC (hooked up to the same receiver via HDMI). I wanted to test this out before I gave up 12.3 on my regular machine. My regular XBMC box has a slower CPU (Athlon 64 X2 5600+), and I need DXVA functioning correctly as the CPU is not capable of reliably playing back all my 1080p media. I also require the refresh rate switching, because I don't like the jitter.
I will not be updating to Gotham if I can't resolve the issue. My concern over not staying current is that some day, plugins like scrapers won't work anymore (How long will scrapers for Frodo be updated if the API changes)?
Anyways, any help is appreciated. Please let me know if any other information is needed.
