Hi,
I have been using XBMC frodo for a few months. Generally all audio and video formats play well.
Unfortunately, once in a while the audio and video stutter for a few seconds.
I have gone over the forums and read various reports on stuttering issues but my problem does not seem to match them.
I have tried troubleshooting using [Windows] HOW TO - Trouble Shoot Audio (from Frodo).
I have also tried disabling services and plugins as suggested in Windows Playback stutter after some minutes.
It happens for all media types I have used (mp3, aac, DTS, DD 2.0, DD 5.1, DTS-HD, SD, 720P, 1080P).
I have found no consistency to the timing or duration; anything between a few minutes and a few hours can pass between occurrences. However, it is rare that more than an hour of watching passes with no stutter at all. The stutter can be hardly noticeable or last as long as 5 seconds.
Each time I tried to replay the stuttering part it played smoothly.
Looking at the debug log I have found reports of discontinuity from the player consistent with the stuttering times (however, I have also found some of those where I did not notice stutters in playback).
Setup:
This debug log show the issue at 15:04:07 - 15:04:11
I would appreciate any suggestions/help.
