I've been running XBMC on various platforms, RPi, Linux and Windows. I have a slight issue which seems to be slightly intermittent but annoying. Often when watching the stream it will briefly stutter and buffer. Sometimes this will be rare, other times it might have a funny five minutes and do it every min or so.
On my main PC, the problem doesn't seem to happen, but on my HTPC and my RPi it often does. Additionally, sometimes there's also a little breakup in the picture quality, but not necessarily at the same time as the buffering. The interesting thing is that the problem does not reproduce when using the MediaPortal Client, either locally or across the network, which makes me think its XBMC causing the issues.
Has anyone similar issues?
The stream's I see the problem on the most are the 1080i live streams. Checking the CPU usage shows 30% to 40% across cores.
Could it be a weak GPU causing the issues?
