Or is it just me?
Is there any settings to fix this? XBMC and MythFrontend are on the same server as the Mythbackend.
Do you have de-interlacing turned on in XBMC? It is off by default and needs to be turned on for video feeds from the TV.
On my system (AspireRevo 1600), with de-interlacing turned on, I get jerky playpack of 1080i content, but perfect playback of standard definition programs. With de-interlacing off, it's the opposite -- perfect for 1080i, but video combing on SD content.
What's really needed is what the MythTV frontend interface has -- the ability to automatically select the default de-interlace method based on the resolution of the content being played. I.e., you can set up playback profiles that set the deinterlace method (if any) for each video resolution.
