Im having the following issues with SVN 28256 and want to see if others can reproduce them or have seen the same problems:

1) Dark scenes - I have noticed that XBMC consistently drops significantly more frames in dark scenes in movies than it does in lighter scenes, to the point that if the scene is longer than a couple of minutes it is nearly unwatchable. Examples include the scene in Iron Man near the beginning where he is exiting the cave and near the end of The Hurt Locker when they are running around in the alleys etc at night. Ive noticed this on at least 4-5 different movies which otherwise play fine except for the night/dark scenes.

2) Animated movies - A lot of my animated MKVs demonstrate significant pixilation and frame drops (Monster's Inc, Toy Story), although some (like Up and other newer movies) play fine.
With this svn :

Occurs with all video. So it seems more buffer related.
Scenes play great, but with a bump in bitrate it starts to drop lines. Thus replicating them. This results in a fine rimple in the screen. Oddly it appears mostly in the upper half of the screen.

Is there any way to increase buffersize on xbmc ?
