i used the AE build, it was better on xvid/avi files, but still had the same issue that the regular build does, the missing counter ramps up, maybe not at first, but then randomly it would just get out of sync.

Hi torcar - from what I can see in your log and from your description it is almost certainly bad timestamps in those files. As a test you can try demux/remux them with mkvmerge or eac3to.
A patch was submitted recently for review that attempts to fail a little more gracefully when these are encountered, and it may help with these files, but there's no set timeframe for inclusion or not into master.
I would try the demux/remux on the file(s) and see if it helps as about the only short-term workaround.

Big ouch - I thought this was limited to a few files. Can you focus on one known problematic one and see if it happens at a fixed location in the file? If so, a sample uploaded of that portion would be beneficial.

Press "O" while watching a movie and watch dropped frames ("Drop: xx"). If there are timestamp issues this should increment.
In the log, look for any Discontinuity errors *after* Pull-up correction" has been applied.

Sorry, took a while to do all the testing.
I have now tested about 15 different .mkv's. A mix of 720p, 1080p, DD5.1 and DTS. All of them display the same symptoms with some variation regarding when the sync-issues start... but usually within less than 30 minutes. Most often within 0-10 minutes.
I have also tested the same files on a Popcorn Hour C-200, a WDTV gen.3 and of course on the XBMC rig using MPC in windows... all without any flaws im kinda sorry to say;/
I see both dropped frames increasing, and several discontinuity errors in the log-file.

Will do. Not sure if I'll have the time before the weekend, but I will post back as soon as I've tried.

@PsychoChef: Fix this 24fps issue and I'll think about it :p
I reverted to 60fps yesterday as a temporary fix. Will not have the time to experiment more until later this weekend so... :/
Quick question: When the debugging is turned on, the text in the upper left corner shows fps among other things... this shows 24fps even though I am now running 60fps without "Adjust display refresh rate to match video" enabled.
Is this correct behavior? I guess it's just showing the movie fps, and not the display fps?
