Hi ,
Got galaxy s4 yesterday - i9500 exynos version.
first thing I did was to install xbmc. Installed fine but video keeps skipping or always plays at a fast pace and the audio hence choppy.
video playback is problematic with all files sd or hd, with any codec,streaming or local.

Tried several builds of xbmc - last beta build, last three nightlies, libstagefright alpha5, xaf build- all have the exact problem.
Changing video sync settings didnt help.

Video plays fine on mx player.

my galaxy s4 i9500 is on stock 4.2.2 not rooted, have mx arm7 codec(with dts) for neon devices installed.

Searched this forum and xda forums for any issues on s4 but was unable to find anything.

any suggestions will be very helpful. it will be a delight to provide anymore details if needed.

thanks
Tried several roms by this time , all have the very same issue.
Seems i am missing some simple point as nobody seems to have this issue.
Even music on xbmc is choppy on my device.

Any clues
Nightly build of 12/07/13 works perfectly on galaxy s4 i9500 now.
Thanks a lot to the xbmc team.
I have the same issue.. i have found that it only happens when bluetooth is using an audio device. When i turn it off... everything is fine. Has anyone tried this?
