user doesnt even provide which HDTV he's using,,,
example, HTPC's + LCD 120Hz HDTV's dont get along,,,
trust me, i know that,,,
i had to disable the 120Hz feature of my Samsung HDTV to get %100 stutter free playback!!
another issue might be his NAS,,,
is he trying to play 1080P via wifi?
or its a wired conection?
he should try to play the faulty MKV locally on his C drive and see if it play well,,,
2 Questions for ya:
1: What were the symptoms you had with your Samsung LCD with the 120Hz? I am looking to build a new HTPC as my ion is getting outdated and I want to be able to stream 3D blu ray's from my NAS and don't currently have the capability. I have 2 Samsung LED LCD's and notice when watching a TV show or movie in HD 120Hz that a couple times throughout I will get a very minor skip in video. Hardly noticeable but it bugs me, I always attributed it to the poor performance of the ION thinking it would go away with my next build but you're saying you think its more of an issue with HTPC's in general to LCD TV's? Thats interesting because my Boxee Box streams the same content from the NAS with no skips at all... Also I run Linux live on my ION and have always ran the latest beta's, currently on Eden RC2
2: Do you know if there are any plans to support the A6/A8 processors for Linux live? I really like this processor and board combo but don't want to run Windows on my HTPC at all. I only stream local content from my freenas box and run a few apps.
Thanks for any thoughts/help!
