I have an xvid copy of the movie Closer that I'm trying to play in XBMC Frodo on Windows 7. In VLC and Media Player Classic I get a consistent ~24fps. In XBMC Frodo I get around 4 fps on the same computer. The file is loading off a remote samba share on a gigabit network.

Video info:

Code:

VIDEO: [XVID]  720x400  12bpp  23.976 fps  878.0 kbps (107.2 kbyte/s)
AUDIO: 48000 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 448.0 kbit/29.17% (ratio: 56000->192000)
FILE:  990.21 MB, last modified on 2012-06-23

I haven't found any other videos where I've noticed such a discrepancy. Although Live TV in Frodo is sometimes completely unwatchable, and other times it's relatively good.

Here's the debug log output:

Any ideas?

You need to restart XBMC after enabling debug logging as that log is missing important information on audio devices that's written to the log at startup.

Sorry, I was trying to clip the relevant timespan in the log. Here's a full debug log where the issue exhibited itself:

Also, here's 15 seconds of the movie that reproduces the issue (2.86mb):

• mirror 1
  
• mirror 2

Your problem is due to incorrect audio settings.

From the log I'd recommend:

Audio output: Analog
Speaker configuration: 2.0
Audio output device: Directsound - speakers
