Hi All, I've been a happy XBMC user for about 7 months with no issues, until now. The problem is that some movies that use to play fine are now just showing a black screen with audio. If I press the / button on the keyboard to switch to windowed mode, it plays fine. Is anyone else experiencing this or have a solution? Here are some more details.
XBMC Eden rc2
Widows 7 64bit
Media (2TB external USB HD)
Thanks

I don't think you did. The pastebin link is not working. Try to give it another whirl.

XBMC is changing the refresh rate to 50Hz to play the movie, and I would guess your TV doesn't support this, and that's why it blanks. The next question is why XBMC is choosing a 50Hz refresh rate, and this I don't know.
To test if the refresh rate change is the cause of the problem, go into System settings, Video, Playback and disable "Adjust refresh rate to match video".
