Hi!
I'm new to XBMC. I had an old HTPC computer which runs FreeVO. Now I bought an ASUS AT5IONT-I to build a new one. I choose to use XBMC, becuase FreeVO had some usability problems (at least for me, and my family).
Everything was nice, I build a minimal Gentoo system to an USB drive. Set up NVidia drivers, applied HDMI audio workaround (options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=0xffff,0xfff2) and installed XBMC 9.11. I have some MKV movies, which are running fine, great! I tried to play an AVI which caused XBMC to segfault. The relevant logs was:
I searched for that error message and I only found that exists, but it's still fixed. So I tried the SVN trunk version. The above problems solved but every movie had an annoying play 1s - freeze - play 1s -freeze ... sequence during the playback. No matter of the file formats, codecs and resolutions. And this affects the video files which can be played fine with version 9.11. So I think this is a bug/regression.
I tried to install a Live version, but I hadn't successed. My HTPC doesn't have any CD/DVD drive (I use NFS mounted NAS instead) and the prepared USB drive gives me only a text prompt.
I tried to use mplayer. When I runs mplayer from a terminal it can be runs smoothly and plays every files perfect with vdpau too with this config.
I tried to use mplayer for the AVI files. I found some advancedsettings.xml things which are obsoleted now, and some playercorefactory.xml which I used.
When I try to play an AVI file the screen freezes, no audio, no video. I see a running mplayer process which spinning in an ioctl.
I searched lots but I didn't found the solution any of the problems above (or I just missed it).
Have you any ideas for the constant lagging in trunk version or the mplayer problems? If you need any other informations please ask.
I working on this more than a week now, reading dozens of posts/tickets/how-tos and no solution still. It's very frustrating...
PS: Sorry for my bad English.
