drop != skip
skip happens in the renderer, drop means the decoder is too slow.
I don't like to explain the 100.1 % again for the 2000st time. It does not do what you think it does.

Looks like a bug in mesa. HDMI clock seems to run at wrong speed which results in incorrect refresh rate. xrandr may display 23.976 but actually it runs slower.
I thought this was fixed already but obviously not.

Yeah, good time to update this old bugreport. When I filed it, I thought I had given all information - but it seems, it does not have that much priority with the oss devs.

Test xbmcbuntu v13 and tell us :-)
xbmcbuntu uses lightdm to start xbmc, this howto uses a more simple upstart script, while not having a windowmanager at all.

I will upgrade that howto to 14.04 if the "stop bug" is fixed in mesa or xbmc. Then most of the things will work out of the box and the howto gets quite minimal.

Thanks for that fritsch! Can you include a section for updating the current version to 14.04 in case there's anything special needed. Cheers

I rather would like you to backup your .xbmc and reinstall. On upgrade a lot can go wrong.
From an xbmc point of view - nothing needs to be updated as final xbmc will be provided for Saucy, too.
Btw. with xbmcbuntu v13 - those howtos are not really needed anymore. Fernetmenta PPA can be integrated (if needed) quite easily.

Same problem - It was me that filed the bug :-)
But got captured by real life lately and did not do any AMD research.

Hello,
Debian now compile vdpau with mesa 10.2 (in experimental) and after updating my mesa package, almost everything is working like a charm.
In fact, I have on small issue : when my setup change of refresh rate, my TV is black for a few second and then display the movie. But I know that i missed the early beginning of the movie because I can ear it thrue the speaker.
No matter the lenght of the pause that I set up during the change of refresh rate, I always have this issue.
Is it a problem relative to UVD/radeon or should I open a new thread ?
