This is the default xbmc log while I play a 720p MKV (h264 and AC3 audio downsampled by XBMC to stereo)
http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=52053
HDMI audio now works: it was a misconfiguration.
But video ( file test-720p-h264-ac3.mkv ) is played very bad: squares, magenta color, many frames dropped etc. etc.
I've uploaded a 90 seconds sample here:
http://youtu.be/mU9Xgyir6uc
Cubie CPU clock @ 1.2GHz (CPU and RAM have heatsink)
Video is located into a NAS in my local network and remote share is mounted locally in /mnt/bak-p2p with CIFS filesystem.
No problem with same configuration with Raspberry: it's played absolutely fine.
This test is made using the same network Raspberry cable: I've disconnected Raspberry and connect Cubieboard.
I've tested bandwidth copying locally the MKV file: available throughput is about 9 Mbytes/sec.
XBMC in Cubieboard run very fast. Faster than Raspberry. Only video playback is bad.
While XBMC@Cubieboard play files CPU is about 13.5% and uptime is about 0.50. Very good values compared to Raspberry (CPU 100% and uptime > 1.00). While XBMC@Cubieboard is not playing a file, values are higher: CPU is about 40% and uptime 1.00. It sounds strange for me.
Cedar looks to work:
I see only few problems but all video is played in a terrible way all the time.
Please, see my log and if you have any suggestion for further test, let me know.
Regards.
PS:
Refresh rate is forced to 60Hz. And with XBMC GUI this is the only value.
How can I set it to 50Hz ?
Raspberry use 50Hz ......
