I have a Intel NUC D54250WYK1
I originally installed windows 8 and xbmc. However I would get video lag (only very slight, but enough to be noticed) so turned to openelec as I thought it may have been the windows bloat.

I've done a fresh install of openelec, and the lag or stutter is still then when I stream from my synology nas over nfs. I am using Ethernet, so it's not my network as my old boxee box would stream lag free. Is there a specific setting I need to change for my video to be stutter and lag free?

I suppose you got problems with some .bin files you tried to play:

Quote:22:21:29 T:140633368934144 DEBUG: DoWork - trying to extract filestream details from video file nfs://192.168.1.94/volume1/video/Movies/Mongol [2007].bin

22:21:29 T:140633368934144 DEBUG: ffmpeg[C1FFB700]: [bin] Failed to open codec in av_find_stream_info

I might be wrong, but I think .bin is a non supported format/container. Have you tried to extract yourself before playing?

The other mp4 files play fine...as far as I can see. VAAPI opened and the rest seems to be ok, Or do you have problems with "Legend of Hercules" as well? The only thing I saw is, that you try to passthrough the audio to your TV (no amp between) and the passthrough failed:

Quote:22:18:16 T:140633368934144 DEBUG: FactoryCodec - Audio: passthrough - Opening
22:18:16 T:140633368934144 DEBUG: FactoryCodec - Audio: passthrough - Failed

22:18:16 T:140633368934144 DEBUG: FactoryCodec - Audio: FFmpeg - Opened

Maybe you could provide a screenshot from your audio settings, too.

Hey mate, I didn't try to open a. Bin file so I'm not sure what's going on there. I only tried to play Hercules. I have toslink output from my TV into my amp, I will try to run my htpc straight into my amp as a pass through and see if that fixes the lag...

I've changed my core watts and gpu to more powerful specs, but still lag.

Then I don't have any clue.

Maybe you could update to the latest beta and see, if this helps

Or anyone else with more knowledge should take a look into this logfile above.

I can't see anything strange, except of the "Mongol [2007].bin"-file which tries to be opened at different points in this log. VAAPI initialized fine..

Could you please provide a screenshot from your audio and video settings?

WOW...100% usage at CPU1

There is something completely wrong....

If you don't mind loosing your settings, I would ssh in and do:

Code:
mv /storage/.xbmc /storage/xbmc-old

Then reboot and see, if this helps. 100% CPU usage is not usual!!

This command renames the ".xbmc" folder to "xbmc-old" and this is compareable with a factory reset.

BTW...you don't have a 2.1 setting if you are connected directly to your TV (I doubt that the TV has a built in subwoofer...that's what the .1 stands for Wink

). You have a 2.0 setup

And I would set vertical blank sync to "always enabled". But do the things above first.

Thanks mate, yeah, it jumps from 1/2% up to 100% etc...

Is there a way to do that with accessing the files via basic samba?

Also, RE: Audio, I'm running through an amp, it now comes up as Intel HD > Yamaha amp model....which is 2.1 Smile

Nope, not that I know of.

Use putty and SSH into your machine and then do the command above. If you never used putty or any other SSH client...You can connect via your IP-Adress from your NUC, then you will be asked for a username and a password:

user: root
password: openelec

Then use the command from above and reboot.
