Good day,
Just curious as to why when I playback a movie on my laptop using xbmc the movie is playing in a fastforward type speed but when i hook it up via hdmi to my receiver the video playback is perfect on my projector?
Any ideas?
Thanks

Sounds like your two display sources have different resolution and refresh rates.

k i think i found the issue. i shut the Allow Hardware Acceleration (DXVA2) to off position and played back the movie. The movie played back at normal speed but now with a jutter. like the movie couldn't catch up... Could it be my video card? Using a Dell I3, 8gig ram and a GT 420 video card.
thanks again.

Pardon my ignorance but I don't have the slightest clue what to do with the previous link that was posted. Any ideas?

Excellent thanks for the info. I could wait for the new version as it's not killing me at all. I'm watching all films on the projector and not off my computer.
