Kodi/XBMC used to play my Blu-Ray ISOs just fine on this PC but, somewhere along the line, that all stopped. Playback now is choppy from the start. Ther emight be a minute here or there which plays smoothly but then everything gets choppy again.
I've searched this forum quite a bit and tried the whole thing where I change SYSTEM => VIDEO (advanced). I tried hardware acceleration and sync refresh rate and all that but nothing gets better. I tried the solution involving advancedsettings.xml but that didn't help things either.
Perhaps this should serve as a clue. When things get choppy, I am noticing one of the "rewind" buttons is lighting up constantly.

Is it possible you have a joypad connected, a lot people have had problems of joypads making trouble in the background.

I do have a wireless keyboard (doesn't everybody?) but that can't be the problem because I can turn it off and still observe the issue.
I executed the instructions for uploading the log file but, I still have not received the log files via email. When I receive that email, how do I reference the log file in this post?

Try setting the wasapi audio output instead of directsound.

So, can anyone help me get this working again? This had always been a wrestling match with XBMC. I would get it all to work for a few months and then, all of a sudden, it would stop working and something else needed to be tweaked. I was hoping Kodi would be more stable but, alas, that is not the case.
