Hi,
we recently bought an older mac mini as a living room mediacenter computer.
The problem is, that while Plex has no problems with the Full HD content we play with it, XBMC starts stuttering and dropping frames, making it unwatchable.
I searched the forums before about that kind of issue, but I only found statements, that the playback should be the same in both programs. As far as I understand Plex uses the same player as xbmc so I dont understand why it should run in one program but not the other.
Running latest version on plex and an around 1 week old nightly build of xbmc.
I hope anyone has any ideas what might cause this,

Edit: Sorry was not reading properly, the other post was giving some reasoning for the smoother playback on plex, but anyways is there any chance of those improvements on plex being forked back to xbmc??
