I tried searching this sub-forum before submitting this post as any good boy scout would, but I couldn't find a suitable place for this.
I play all of my content from an external drive (USB). I noticed that my aTV with crystal HD has issues playing movies that are 1080p. I have also tried 720p content which doesn't seem to have any trouble playing, but all of my 1080p test movies have the same issue. they play fluidly for a couple of seconds, but then start to play sluggishly.
fast forwarding temporarily resolve it but the sluggishness kicks back in after just another 5 seconds or so.
I pastbinned the media info 3 of my test movies.
all of them show the same output in the XBMC log, what I see when ssh-ing into the aTV and doing:
results in the following messages:
xbmc.log right here.
the SetDropState messages seem familiar to me and I think I have seen them before on this forum, but I was not able to find how or if this could be resolved.
if anyone needs more info, I'll gladly provide it.
P.S. using r26841 at the moment
