Hi.
So first i had ubuntu installed, but then i installed xubuntu. I have installed latest ion graphics drivers from nvidia, updated xubuntu and installed xbmc with latest svn.
i have also enabled vertical blank sync, and adjust refresh rate under video options.
The weird thing is that it seems it lags when playing movies. This doesnt happen in winodws with dxva on, or 720p movies.
I pressed O to display some info, and i see its going in 24hz witch is nice, but i dont know what all he aq, vq, dropped etc is. Cpu is about 20%.
I have enabled 512 mb ram to the gpu in bios also.
I just dont get whats wrong. Heres a included clip during playback.
If anyone could give me some pointers on what could be wrong, i would appreciate it very much.
Btw. Im using a external hdd to play movies from. I first thought it couldnt read fast enough, but thats out of the question? The drive i formated ntfs, and i have read/write support. The Ion is connected trough vga atm.
Edit; Just tested copying 50gb inside the usb 2.0 external hdd, it said it took 2 hours, dunno if thats normal or not
Edit; and 13 min to copy a 1080p movie
