Hello,
I have recently build an XBMC media center, after playing with different operating systems, and configurations, I decided to use XBMC on ubuntu-13.10-desktop-amd64. The system works very well, except for one annoying problem. I have a pretty decent lag when accessing movie lists. The main interface as well as most menus do not have any lag, however, when I bring up the list of my movies there is a good 2 to 3 second lag moving the mouse.
I have looked around for some time trying to resolve this issue and found somewhere that I should disable the vertical black sync. I did this and was able to clear up all menu lags, however the movie list when in thumbnail view is still lagging. Also there is no lag when playing videos.
Does anyone know a resolution to this problem?
