I've picked up a problem on Frodo RC3 that manifests a random distance into different video files. I have a Zotac ION2 based HTPC running Win7 32 bit plugged into a LG A/V receiver via HDMI, Sound is properly configured as per the FAQ and I don't have the immediate stuttering issues. Videos start playing fine with good sound.
At a random point, between 15 minutes at one point and an hour at the longest, the video starts to slow down, 2-3 seconds of either freezeframe or slideshow, then it returns to normal speed for a few seconds. Initially I paused and resumed, or stopped and played on and that solved the problem. Earlier I alt-tabbed out of XBMC to look at the processor load in Task Manager and it returned to normal when I returned. Task Manager shows 100% CPU for the period and then drops to 5% when playing normally.
Eden does not do this on the same files. Drivers are the latest, I'm running WASAPI out via the NVidia device, exclusive mode is set and the correct sound formats are supported. My videos are shared over a 1Gbit network, but that has been the case since before Eden and I only get the problem with Frodo.
Any suggestions please?
