Hi there,
I am currently running xbmc Eden 11on my macbook and everything plays fine for the most part; I am able to play 720p files with absolutely no dropped frames and as for 1080p movies they play smoothly except for high bitrate scenes when I get a lot of dropped frames. I have tried a lot of different options (sync playback to display, adjust refresh rate) but it did not make a difference.
So at first I thought it was hardware limitations seeing as I get very high CPU during those particular scenes and my graphic card does not allow hardware acceleration (too old macbook), but then I played those movies in VLC and I did not notice any problems during the scenes where I usually get like 150 dropped frames in 2 minutes. I posted a debug log of the short clip in question (first 30 seconds are fine as a comparison)
Anyway here is my question, is there something any of you can do or is it out of my hands?
Here is my info :
OSX Version 10.7.4
Platform MacBook Core 2 Duo 2,4 Ghz with 3GB RAM; Graphic card intel GMA x3100 so no Hardware Acceleration
Install Method DMG
SVN Revision XBMC Eden 11.0 (22nd Mars)
FULL Debug Log : http://pastebin.com/1AteWttQ
I stream my movies over local network using NFS and my macbook is wired
Here is the MediaInfo : http://pastebin.com/0h6diQsT
Thank you in advance for your thoughts on this !
Edit : I have of course searched the forum about this particular problem but non of the previous threads that I found actually helped me solve the problem
