No, mine says: P(FR:23.976, VQ1%, DC:AM-H264,MB/S:6.55, DROP:1, SKIP:433, PC:NONE)

VQ is flashing between 1&0% SKIP is raising all the time. I measured that it skipped 98 frames in 1 minute.

CPU usage is what I would call high (CPU0 70% CPU1 50% CPU2 61% CPU3 39%) obviously these figures are always changing, but I don't think my X4 ever had values this high, they were always between the 5 & 20% mark.

Strange.

Interestingly, if I turn off hardware acceleration I get VQ:99% and barely any frame skips. CPU values are a little lower, but not by much!

It's odd, it's like the hardware acceleration isn't working.

The same here.
After my first two movies using Openelec, I'm having same skipped frames values.

First of all: any one could tell me if picture quality could be worse using Openelec than Android? I can not compare both images at the same time but I think quality was better in Android. Is it possible?

About skipped frames:
First 5 minutes of one film (mkv h264 23.976 and around 9Mb/s) using Openelec: around 125 skipped frames
Same film and minutes using Android Kodi: around 20 skipped frames
Both with hardware acceleration.

Tried turning off hardware acceleration in Openelec and get less skipped frames.

When I tried another film with a higher bitrate (25MB/s), no skipped frames at all (Openelec and hardware acceleration).

Any idea about this? I'm worried about picture quality and would be pleased to have any information from you.

Edit to say that I'm using Isengard release and to add pics:

Pic 2 after 14 minutes and 39 scds.

I.e. More or less 1 skipped frame per minute.

Pic 3: same film but now with hardware acceleration turned on

Pic 4 after 51 minutes and 53 scds of play (from last pic)

I.e. more or less 51 skipped frames per minute!

Is it normal?
