It's happening with every movie I've tried so far. When playback starts, the Samsung TV panel is switching mode and then I just get weird patterns. I'm not seeing macroblocking. If I then hit the \ key to window XBMC, the content can then be seen. But as XBMC has switched my TV's mode from JustScan to 16:9, the Unity menus are off the side of the screen.
By the way I previously had a working 11.10 installation with XBMC working nicely. I made the mistake of upgrading to 12.04 :-) Hah, oh well..
Here's the mediainfo of a typical file. Do you want a chunk of the media file uploading somewhere? If so let me know where.
Thanks!
