cakeove Wrote:Yesterday i install the mac mini next to my old apple tv first generation running crystalbuntu with Crystal HD decoder.

Running Lion with XBMC via wifi the mac mini can handle my 1080p mkv movies from my Synology NAS.

With hardware acceleration i can not find any issue. Transformes 2 with 1080p h.264 and DTS-HD plays very well. Peaks frame rates pass 33Mbps.

I don't see any problem. However if i turn off hardware acceleration cpu goes 118% and little pauses on the video. Guest is only drivers.

But i don't feel any needs to use my mac mini without video hardware acceleration. That is the reason for the video card.

Mac mini runs very well.

Since a week I've got the new mini, same model as stated above, and I'm encountering issues with movie playback.

Watching the same movie, Transformers 2(1080p, dtsma(dts audio on logitech Z-5500), h264, mkv), but it's all except flawless.
I'm experiencing lots of hick-ups in video and in audio, mostly when there's a lot going on in the movie. (Autobots fighting etc)

This happens with and without HW acceleration, which I don't understand, like stated above. Also when the hiccups occur, mostly the whole or parts of the screen is/are pixellated. Maybe you can share some information, about what's installed at your system which seems to improve playback? Or any other tips for solving my problem?

Watching with XBMC newest version, lion 10.7, and nothing else running.
