so I've got xbmc live installed and running on a zotac hd-id11

one video file I have is lagged to the point of unplayable. ~1 frame / second, and no audio.

the codec information is here

anyone have any ideas why it would be lagging so much?

I can play other HD 12gb video files without an issue

without a debug log, I'd take a guess and say your AVR/TV/PC is not capable of HD audio passthrough.
Disable DTS-HD and True-HD and try again.

so I disabled DTS-HD & True-HD, and now it's playing smoothly.

I know that my receiver is DTS-HD / True-HD compatible, but does the miniPC (Zotac HD-ID11) it's running on have to be compatible as well? I thought it was just passing the signal through hdmi, so the minipc itself didn't have to be strictly compatible.

the PC must be compatible too.

thank you for the education
