[pneu]

Hi.

I have a problem with playback. When i playback large MKV's, i get these wierd colors every 10th second.
I love XBMC. It really does it for my, but since i've got my home theater system (150" screen) i've found that MKV files i've did of my blurays did not have a high enough bitrate (MKV's of about 4 gigs 720p).
I upped the specs to 1080, and about 8 gigs mkv's. Still not satisfied.
Now i've went all in and did a MKV on 23gigs (100% size of the stream from the BD).
This resolved in these wierd colors. This only appears on large MKV's. But i do not have this problem in VLC player on my HTPC or my Macbook pro in VLC.
In debugging mode, i can see that mem, fps and cpu all is good.
Mem: 1,5/3.2 GB
fps: 24 (it drops from time to time, but only by .1
cpu: is about 10%

The picture looks great though

I hope someone can help. Thanks!

for 150" screen, i would stick to 1:1 rip to preserve the original pq. it can be mkv/m2ts/iso, and i prefer iso the most. i don't have any info on your htpc, but you can give the guides below a try:

chance are you have one of these card, you can download the latest control center from here- NVIDIA Driver Downloads or ATI/AMD Graphics Drivers & Software . you need to adjust the hdtv resolution in the control center to fill in the entire hdtv screen. if there is an option in nvidia control center, go to video settings and video playback, and set it to enforce smooth video playback. do these in xbmc: system>settings>video>playback (select allow hardware acceleration (dxva2), adjust display refresh rate to match video and sync playback to display) and system>settings>system>video output (select full screen for display model and select same resolution as adjusted in catalyst). for audio in xbmc, do these: system>settings>system>audio output (select proper audio output to match your connection).

the guides above works flawless on 56" and 76" hdtv's!
