[MAC] lots of dropped frames on an HDMI Mini with Dharma4
#1
I am dropping many frames, making videos a stuttery mess. On this particular video, I drop 100s per min. The video file is coming off a NFS mount over a GigE network from a ReadyNAS. I've made sure the highqualityupscaling option in the guisettings.xml is set to 0.

Seriously, 34 seconds of play back is not enough to determine what is going on from xbmc.log. let's try again, this time let it play for 5-10 mins and don't diddle around poping up the OSD display or anything else. Just let it play without interruption.
