Hi,
I have zotac mini PC ZBOX HD-ND22:
http://www.zotac.com/index.php?optio...&Itemid=100082
I installed ubuntu 10.10. 64bit and xbmc Dharma on top of it.
(I have installed also linux because I need to have web browser for searching torrents and transmision for downloading them. This is ussually the first step - to get the movie, before you can watch it. So I don't know why this is not integrated by default. I tried with firefox and it is not so user friendly if you install it directly into xbmc(torrent client also doesn't work at the first glance, but I guess its possible), so, I'll wait for some future version with integrated firefox into xbmc live version. Until than I'll have both - linux and xbmc).
Now the problem Problem is, that video doesn't run smoothly.
It stutters(flicker) from time to time. I tried DVD and MKV files, both the same.
I found somwhere on the web this post:
"The graphics overlay system on Dharma doesn't run as smoothly as it does with Camelot. The new features on Dharma are awesome, but a quite a few files in my video library are not playing as smoothly as they were in Camelot. "
Does anybody have the same problems? I wonder if I should install 32bit version of linux instead of 64bit?
I guess that camellot version is xbmc9.11? I'll try also this version from USB key today to see the diference. Any other suggestion? Probably some codecs or drivers problems because this zotac is quite new product?
br,
Simon
