Hello, hope you can help
I have since recently upgraded to a new laptop and XBMC does not appear to like Windows 8. I have never had an issue with XBMC on the Windows 7 laptop I had. Here are basic specs:
Graphics card Information
AMD Radeon HD 7650M (2GB Deditcated)
Hard drive Information
1TB
Model name / number
Sony Vaio SVE1713Z1EB
Operating system Information
Windows 8 (64 Bit)
Processor Information
Intel Core i7 3632QM
Processor speed Information
2.2GHz to 3.2GHz with Turbo Boost
RAM
8GB
Wireless networking
802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth
The problem I am having is that Frodo 12.2 ( I was on 12.1 before with same issue) is still having issues with video playback. Basically if I go to play a video, it will just jump frames (FPS unaltered to norm), play what appears very very slowly and with no sound. The whole program appears to have slowed down as mouse also moves across screen exceptionally slow. The way it affects my library seems partially random. It will appear to sometimes dislike playing an entire show on one occasion I load it and change which show it dislikes playing the next occasion I restart my laptop up. If I play any other show to the one(s) it currently dislikes, I have no issues. It is very frustrating, especially as I enjoy using PseudoTV and to suddenly have a show slapped in the middle of two others that won't play correctly doesn't help. I would like to note though this issue occurs with or without pseudotv being used. I have tried all sorts to solve it but there is always at least one show it will dislike playing on startup. I know there were many with this issue on 12.1 that I had read on some forum about with tips such as skipping forward and back, etc. I either dont have enough patience for this solution to work or more than 15 times of this each time it messes up is simply not enough to get it going again.
