therrookiee Wrote:hi, yes, I've tried that..it's not your htpc, and it's not pre-eden either. it's all relates to video and audio configuraiton/settings. after you get these two configure correctly, it will playback fluently.
what i mean exactly, i have something like mini stuttering..
1 frame drop every 4 minutes or so while playing movie..
i have this with 30mbps 1080p movie and its same with 4mbps movie..
with dxva enabled, my cpu is working on 4-10% max with 1080p movie...
i dont have this problem with xbmc 10.1 and i can play 40mbps original 3d bluray with tmt without 1 frame drop.
my htpc specs are :
mobo : asus m2n-x plus
cpu : AMD Athlon 64 X2 2.6 GHz (5000+)
graphic : AMD HD 6570
hdd 1 : Corsair Force GT 120GB SSD
hdd 2 : 3TB WD green - wd30ezrx
ram : 4gb ddr2
sound : creative x-fi
I've reinstalled xbmc with 10.1 again and problem dissapeared..
and btw, i have clean install of win 7 sp1 running maybe for 4 days..
is this beceause its still nightly build or problem is with my htpc?
thanks

if there is a problem, you can turn on debug to find out the symptom!

Why you would want to use anything other than a build that doesn't give you problems is beyond me?here is the compelling reason- it's dts-hd/truehd playback is what some of us after. dharma 10.1 is not supporting it. i'm using the pre-eden on 4 htpc's that i built for a while, and it works flawless. it is identical to dharma 10.1 with the ability to passthrough dts-hd/truehd and all other audios to capable avr without the messy external player playercorefactory and advancesetting.

steelman1991 Wrote:LOL - he hasn't even indicated that your 'build' is being used. According to the poster he's using 'nightlies'. For Pete's sake break the record and I wish you would lose the ability to use cut and paste as well. Its clear your happy with HD Audio playback, but at least read threads before you offer assistance. We don't even know if the user has a 'capable avr' so why are you offering advice on that matter - the poster hasn't even mentioned that he needs/wants HD Audio.regardless of what xbmc he/she use, the video settings are very similar. if i change to any other setting other than what i mentioned in my guides, i'll have problem with video playback too. as far as hd audio- if the user avr is not capable of playback hd audio, he/she still can playback all the standard audio.
There is a reason devs and others are not offering assistance, because nightlies are developmental and Audio HD builds aren't supported at this time.
Did you compile these builds you so freely give. Are you able to support these builds should there be an issue, or is cut and paste the level of your expertise.
