Hello,
I am using OpenELEC 3.0 RC1 on Raspberry Pi Model B (512 MB). When I start the playback of an HD movie (MKV, H.264, 1080i) from NFS share it takes about 30 seconds to start the playback. Seeking (right/left/up/down or selection of a timestamp e.g. "1:00:00") is then very fast (< 5 seconds).
Starting of SD movies is also very fast (3 seconds).
Is the long initial startup time for HD movies normal? Can it be tuned?
I have already overclocked the Pi (medium setup @900 MHz)

It should be about 5 seconds with wired ethernet. Wifi will be slower.

Connection is wired (Gigabit ethernet). No problems with other clients (openelec 2.0 ion and fusion).

If you stop and play the same file again, do you still get 30 seconds delay?

Yes, I think so.
Do you mean resuming from last timestamp (yes, 30s delay)
or starting the same file twice (didn't tested yet)?

When I start the same file twice it's a bit faster, but also between 15 and 20 seconds. Heres the log:

How can I check the network performance?
I tried:
time cp /nfs_mounted/File.mkv /dev/null
but that brings "No space left on device" ... :-(

Nobody can help? What could cause the delay between "creating demuxer" and
"Opening video stream"?

Update openelec and test.
Edit: Also, if it doesn´t help, search forum for pi and interlaced video. Have a feeling it might be different from regular progressive video.
