Greetings,
I am a new user for XBMC and so far it is working fine except for some small problems. I have always had trouble using media players and have tried Amarok, Rhythmbox, and several others. Only VLC, NCMPC and XBMC have worked. I have 60 gigs of music--all in different formats including WAV, Flac, AIFF, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, etc..
I like XBMC because the interface is attractive. However, it does not run smoothly--the program flickers. It will not allow me to look at other screens unless I minimize it first. Sometimes the visual interface staggers or slows down, but the music speed does not. This is strange because I run also run XBMC on a lower powered laptop--and it runs fine there.
So when I run XBMC on a higher powered desktop, there are problems. Any ideas to make it run smoother without it flickering like a disco light?
Please advise,
I. Khider
