Full Version: [LINUX] Xbmc not working well in Ubuntu

Hello all

I have Xbmc running in a small pc :

Processor: 1,6 Ghz
Ram : 1Gb
Using Ubuntu 12.10

When watching a movie the video stops and the audio loops, when this happens move the mouse is enough to watch some more seconds until it happens again...

Here is a video of what is happening

Any ideas?
It looks to me like some service is occassionally kicking in in the background (like update manager or something) and your CPU is getting bogged down by it. As a test try putting openelec or xbmcubuntu on a flash drive and booting off it. Unless you need the additional services offered by a full Ubuntu install your PC might run a lot better with a stripped down version anyway.
Just tried installing Xbmcbuntu and no luck, just having the same issue or even worst much more stops in a short time.

I guess my pc is really weak.
Please read this and comply fully http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=34655

TIA

Probably able to be sorted if you can add in a nvidia graphics card that supports vdpau.

Are you streaming something off the internet? It could be your connection is too slow. Please play a video off your hard drive or wired lan.

Nothing at all. Only xbmc working
We dont support piracy addons http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=149712

Remove/Delete this "addon" and XBMC will work better.

Sorry then my mistake. Can you provide me a non-piracy addon?
So that i can test
See Add-ons (wiki)

Again Remove/Delete this "addon" and XBMC will work better.

I have a feeling this thread will be closed soon!
