Hi again,
I want so much to use XBMC for all my media center needs, so I'm eagerly waiting for the final version... meanwhile, if I try to play an mkv file of about 1.4 GB, it takes a while to load and it seems to hang. After several seconds it starts playing fine. Note that these aren't HD files, but DVD rips.
HD files however, take forever to load, and XBMC does hang (or I'm not patient enough, after 5 minutes or so).
I *can* play 1080p movies just fine through MPC, so at least I know my PC is capable of that.
I have another PC, a quad-core xeon with 7gb of RAM and a Quadro FX 550 that stutters on 1080p videos (!), however that runs on Linux. I found that under Kaffeine, setting the ffmpeg_skip_loop_filter to all (or none, I can't recall) fixes this issue, and since XBMC uses ffmpeg I'm wondering if I can also make this change and see if that helps on the XP machine. If this is possible, how can I try it?
Thanks a lot!
