davilla Wrote:"stagger real fast if I do screen sharing at least". Yep, I bet it does. Kind of hard to copy uncompressed HD content in real time. Do the math, the bandwidth required is huge.

Bag the screen sharing attempts, XBMC is designed to playback to a real display. VNC and other screen sharing games are not supported.

I realize that it was so late when I wrote my follow-up that I was literally falling asleep at the keyboard... at one point I wrote "screen Indian Food" instead of screen sharing. I am absolutely not trying to watch via screen sharing or VNC... I just meant that I was using VNC for keyboard purposes to try to bring up the menu and that perhaps the mac mini was having a fit and stuttering due to screen sharing being used... ultimately, I realized it was stuttering (on my plasma TV!) regardless of whether I was using the macbook to control the mini or not.
I am wondering if I was supposed to do something to specifically get rid of the 1.0.1 kext and firmware before installing 1.0.3? When I received an error during the install (using the instructions in the aforementioned link) I ended up using sudo in a couple steps...guessing to overwrite the existing .kext, etc. I rebooted the mini just in case the old kext was loaded... this didn't help in fact. It still stutters. I used the latest build of XBMC (as of yesterday).

Hmmmm. Really looking forward to smooth as butter HD, though. I do think the audio sync is better from the get go than it used to be.
