I haven't tried as I'm running utorrent 24/7. I guess I could turn it off for a couple days and see if it still happens. But if according to SlaveUnit pixalation isn't even a symptom of a busy HDD I don't know what good it'd do.
If pixalation occurs once during a movie, it will almost always occur multiple times later on.
If I rewind and play same scene pixalation won't show up again.
I think I've never seen it happen with DVDs, AVIs, or 720p MKVs.
So how should I troubleshoot this?
I guess I could pause the movie when it happens, see if utorrrent is seeding a lot (+5 MB/s) and try turning it off. But I don't know if it really matters if I'm seeding 10 torrents with combined upload of 1 MB/s or +5 MB/s.
Would a pixalation error show up in the normal XBMC log? Obviously I can't run the debug log during a movie. Isn't there a way to run the dubug log without the text overlay?
Maybe this thread is getting OT for the support section. Though I just wanted to know if busy HDDs led to pixalation.
