Did you have any luck with this as I'm getting the same issue. I've tried changing all the boot=cd to boot=usb within the syslinux.cfg file but no luck.

Any ideas.

Thanks

Ben

Whenever I enable any of the new settings I get stuttering video playback, even SD-stuff:
* adjust display refresh rate to match video
* sync playback to display

I was hoping these settings would finally resolve the light stuttering I was experiencing with some HD movies, but now it seems to be even worse.

arkainus Wrote:Hi all,

New to the forums and been a loooooooooooong time since I've used xbmc (since the old xbox mod scene). The article on life-hacker inspired me to check out the scene again. I recently purchased an acer aspire revo r1600 as per the article. I notice at least one new distro has been released since that article. I have not tried to install xbmc yet (all I've done so far is image the stock drive that comes with the machine)

Would anybody mind telling me if the article is still valid with the new release? If not, could someone possibly post (or PM me) the steps one would take to install the newest distro on the acer? Will the acer in fact play 1080p content without stuttering? Am I better off sticking the distro that was mentioned in the article? If I stick with that version, are the plugins/skins/etc still going to work with the old version or would I be SOL? Also, since I am a complete newb when it comes to this maybe some people can shout out some of their favorite plug-ins/scripts/skins for xbmc?

Thanks in advance for any help you could provide, I greatly appreciate it!

The Beta-1 comes with the Repo Installer which connects online to a repository of plug-ins and scripts so you no longer have to find them and intstall yourself. My favorite is Apple Movie Trailers and Youtube Movie Trailers. The new stock skin is very nice.

1. Is the extra 1GB of ram necessary for HD playback, or just recommended?
2. I only have component inputs until I get my project later this winter. Can it output to component using the VGA port and an adapter or should I wait for now?

Thanks to anyone that can help.

arkainus Wrote:Thank you so much for your reply! I went ahead and installed the older version mentioned in the article and play around with it, familliarize myself, but now that I have confirmation Beta-1 works I will give that a try.

Incidentally, have you tried the navi-x plugin? Since reading up on plugins, that one has gotten me very excited to try it out.
