Hi,
I just decided to re-use an old computer as a Media Center.
After installing XBMC, everything ran fine, but suddenly, playback of certain video became slower than normal speed.
The problem happens when playing local Xvid .avi files and while streaming movies from Icefilms.info (which are mostly Xvid .avi too). I do not experience stutter or glitches, the playback is just slower than normal speed with the sound synced but distorted (as if playing at slower speed). This problem does not appear when I play the same files in VLC or mplayer, and I can stream from Icefilm's website without problem. All Flash based streams are fine too.
Is this a known issue? I couldn't find much about this behavior.
The system is a Pentium 4 3Ghz with HT on, 2Gb RAM, Intel Graphics, M-Audio Fast Track Pro USB as sound card. The O.S. is Ubuntu Server 10.10 with Openbox as WM. XBMC was installed on March 9 2011 from the ppa. It tells me Git:Unknown instead of a SVN revision.
Here is the log link: http://pastebin.com/Ehh2DPYs
Thank you for your help.
