Hi folks,
I bought a Celeron-based Intel NUC (DN2820FYKH) and threw OpenELEC on it a few weeks back, and everything was great until I got to some raw Bluray rips that are in VC1 format. The problem, for those who don't know, is repeated dropped frames and stuttering/jerky playback that perceptibly slows down and speeds up before your eyes. Video in other formats works fine.
So of course I started Googling for a fix. It seems the problem was first noticed a year ago. Some threads, like this one, suggest that it is/was a problem in ffmpeg that has now been fixed.
It's been almost a year since the above thread and I've tested with OpenELEC's latest RC, released two days ago, with ffmpeg 2.4.2, and the problem remains.
So what is the status of this problem? How can so many people be using this device if it can't handle VC1 playback?
If this is something that just can't be fixed, then I guess I have to sell the NUC and get something else.
