Greetings,
I am running XBMC from the PVR ppa in order to get VAAPI acceleration on my Amd E-350 system. Everything plays fine with one exception, if I try to play a 1080p video of any format (.mp4, .mkv) off of my external hard drive the video is corrupted. The corruption looks like a single frame offset from the rest of the video flickering in with the rest of the video stream. The audio is unaffected and plays without issue. I though this was a bug affecting the E-350 and VAAPI until I double checked and tried playing the same file off the local hard drive. It played flawlessly. I then tried a different external drive and I got the same results. I don't get corruption when I play the file back on my ION platform using the external hard drive.
Does anyone have any clue why only 1080p files are getting corrupted only off a external hard drive?
One more thing I should mention, I tried both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 drives and got the same results so it doesn't seem to be a throughput issue.
I am running Elementary OS, which is a custom version of Ubuntu 10.10 with the Catalyst 11.6 driver, XBMC and Libva are both from the Ubuntu XBMC PVR PPA (https://launchpad.net/~lars-opdenkamp/+archive/xbmc-pvr), the 2.6.35-30 kernel and the stock X-Server.
