Use the 319 nvidia driver and revisit and post xbmc.log if problem persists.

In my case this is Intel GMA, not nvidia. Where is the xbmc.log kept when xbmc is launched as a service (systemd?).

I'm kind of confused though, because I clearly have a 24p modeline detected but the debug output when I play the video is clearly not locking fps to 24 when I tested it moves around between 23.x and 24.0 ... CPU is not being stressed and prior to my last update I had no issues for a very long time.

I assume that the fps counter should be locked and not wander when vsync is actually working?


Update: I seem to have been able to mitigate the issue by enabling the "TearFree" intel option in xorg.conf I'm still unsure why all of a sudden I need to use this though.
