When "sync playback to display" is activated, all is synced to the vertical retrace signal of the display. Means that the player's reference clock is driven by this. If you do not activate it, the system clock is used as the reference for the player. Since the system clock is not synced to the display, it will drift away slowly. Sooner or later the error gets big enough that you'll lose a frame.

Booting Linux from SSD takes about 10 seconds, I see no need for suspend. (My current living room system does not have a SSD but it does not bother me)

so is it the consensus that sync to display works for 24p content with linux? I might switch from windows if that is the case as it sure doesn't work in the windows version.

i just leave my box on all the time its on the other side of the wall which happens to be the garage so it just sits on the ground under a desk. hey FernetMenta you AV sync PR/fix seems to work with a great deal of my matierial but some older avi files are still decently out of sync. they are mostly mpeg4 video and mp3 audio i want to post a log its just i put my videos on shuffle when i watch most the time i jgotta wait for the right time and grab the log. tried to last time but it was spammed with DEBUG:NEWADDON messages (something pulled from upstream must have done it i saw something about generated addons, maybe this is what they are talking about). and i'm really sorry for blabbing in the PR i get unformal sometimes, but i have submitted a PR myself i know the rules i shouldnt be breaking them. anyways i'd love to help bang this long out standing bug out i always thought it had something to do with ffmpeg and the GetDelay.
Also have we all in the thread come to a consensious on what modelones to use?
for 29.97 matieral should i use 59.94 or 60htz and if its 59.94 should i set my default to that or still default to 60 and xbmc will just switch to 59.94 when playing the video (it should right because of xrandr 1.3 support? even if i had 59.34 59.77 and 59.94 and 60 and it would pick the clsest one which would be 59.94 or am i wrong or it just doesnt matter for that matierial

You'll need something that can act as a momentary switch to short the power leads. Your receiver will also need constant power in order to operate. There were several original XBox modchip manufacturers that made such rigs, because the XBox had no way of being turned on by the remote. You will have to open the case and get your hands dirty, but it shouldn't be all that difficult.

Ahhh..! i knew i had seen/heard of what he was talking about. I did one of those but for a regular wired controller. it had a button on it to power the xbox on. sigh... the xbox modding days. man those were the days, i was young, a freshmen in high school, not a care in the world i remember skipping school and me and my friends would all come to my house and get super stoned and play game after game after game i had like 100 xbox games and this was back when i had dial up, this was all ripped from originals one way or another. man it just seemed so much more "genuine" back then
I use a nettop so i have to open the case and wire something like this to te Power Switch... my next system will be a standard yATX Board so i can use this option...
