Frodo has been a complete nightmare for me, I think think this is the release that will split/divide the community.
For me, u have huge errors with apx 40% of my video library including distortions, stutters, judders etc we really need the latest ff updates (1.0) to be applied before relapse IMO.
Audio too still is real hit and miss effort for me, I would say apx 1 in 10 of my videos is just plain unwatchable due to stutters audio, coupled with 4 in 10 with video errors I'm in a pretty bad way.
I've also rolled back to Eden now and while it to has problems, I have virtually no errors with audio and video but obviously lose support for certain features.
The only thing I can say is hold on for a realise. Check it, if not wait or move to another media player. I was following. Thread recently regarding the 16-235 woes with xbmc and didn't chime in (I have the same issues) but am in fact going to start a thread and pot screen shots of exactly what damage xbmc does to video. It's completely indisputable and all users can test it them selves and see by simply playing the greyscale video from AVSForums.
Xbmc is a wonderful product, really ingenious! The developers are also very clued up and very good at what they do. The down side is they so seem to have a "we know better than you" attitude in some cases (which is never good in any line of work etc) and don't take criticism very well. Also I'm not sure how many of them are certified ISF calibrators etc and therefore, while they believe the video is fine, they simple can't see the damage xbmc does by converting, expanding and unnecessarily processing video for no good reason.
Just wait and see for a few more weeks, maybe it'll get better. But for me to, it's a no go with frodo at all. It literally is unusable for me in almost every way in its current state. I can't believe it's at RC2 already? If this is close to final I'm screwed as I will genuinely have to walk away
Just wait, test the final and then make a decision. But hopefully it'll work for you soon enough
