Hi,
I am having an weird issue. My htpc plays movies on my HP LED (PC) monitor fluently but on my Samsung Smart TV (directly connected with HDMI no AV) it slows down(could also be described as a brief not even a second of stutter) every 10 seconds (not sure every 10 seconds, its variable).
This has nothing to do with the settings (I presume of XBMC).
Has anyone had this strange issue ? I have found on other forum that this could have something to do with the resolution or the Hertz ?
It would be great to hear some other opinions or maybe a solutions to this.
Samsung live chat has not been very helpfull.
Thank you.

What's the Hz setting [refresh rate] on xbmc? [settings, system, video output]
What's the picture settings on the telly? Exact scan? Full screen? 16:9?

I have no idea if it's relevant, but my Samsung TV has a setting for "fluent" motion. Motion Plus? I think it tries to calculate the in between frames to even out motion.
Maybe trying turning this off will stop the stuttering?

No it probably means that you were, for example, playing a file with a frame rate of 23.976 frames per second on a screen that was operating at 50 or 60 frames per second.
Which is why jammyb asked you those questions, the ones you didn't answer.

Appart from the "adjust display refresh rate to match video" and the Motion settings on TV (not sure what these should be set to) you should also enable the Cinema Smooth option in samsung. It is available only when fed with 24p material.

It doesn't really matter what refresh rate you use for the GUI of xbmc if you enable the "adjust display refresh rate to match video" (which you should).

Have you tried with the "Sync playback to display" method? It's on the same setting screen as "Adjust display refresh rate...".
Then set A/V sync method to "video clock", and check if the stutter still happens. I had a similar issue on a Panasonic TV, while on a regular PC monitor playback was just fine.

GPU is mentioned in the thread subject
I'm not interested in what your Telly's doing. I want to know what Hz setting you've got XBMC set to.
