Yes, xbmc does not do any waiting, if you need network shares / db available you need that entry.

Today I ran into an interesting issue with a TV Capture file and playing it back, the playback was perfect audio wise but the video was about 2-3 seconds behind the audio. I've not seen this with this setup using various other formats such as Bluray, H264, MPEG2 etc. I am not sure what is going on but I've captured debugging information below and also included the mediainfo of the file in question. I have two files that follow this same format and both exhibit the issue. I've also copied the files locally to eliminate the CIFS mount I use and still exhibited the issue. The logs provided below are one attempt after a fresh reboot over CIFS and the second logs are after a fresh reboot using local storage. Thoughts?

@fritsch, interesting news. I have been tracking down a fix for "EXTRA" skips/slight-judder with "vsync always on" and "sync playback to display" both enabled. I found a new clue.
29.97-1080i and 59.94-720p both affected. Temporal Deinterlace- Auto used. A4-3400 APU, 8gb PC1600, 200gb HD.
All installed today:
1) I decided to try Gotham Openelec on a USB. It works! Hooray. Very few skips on OP settings from your guide, vsync/sync-to-display both on.
OE image that works:
http://sources.openelec.tv/tmp/image/Ope...c0e.img.gz
thread: http://openelec.tv/forum/20-development-...?start=180
2) So I did another clean install Xubuntu64-13.10 w/ default pulseA, in case I had a borked older install. Skips returned as usual. The fix to get few skips with this xubuntu is disable sync playback to display. I purged and removed Pulseaudio and all pulse related binaries. Only alsa left and same behavior. I have tried this many times today and in the past. Seems the same.
3) Just installed Minimal ISO 13.10 (w/ PS2 KB) with SSH server only. Then followed this guide 100%. Works exactly like Xubuntu - with PA. Extra skips, but no PA. Clean install.
Now the big
- what is different about OE (aside from the base OS), linked above. OE plays perfectly according to the OSD- few skips with OP settings. I am convinced PA is not the problem on my system with AV sync related skips. I have no AVR. PC -> HDMI -> Sony LCD stereo. Any insight is appreciated.
I tested GT610 in this box yesterday (on an old HD install) and it behaves like the OE, or like this guide install with "sync playback to display" disabled.

@pyrodex make sure deinterlace is set auto for that vid type, also try the deinterlace types until skips are much less. I cannot tell from logs.
It usually shows 59.94 fps on the osd for 29.97i content, once deinterlace is chosen. The bluray, DVD stuff is usually progressive. If you play that mostly, deinterlacing might not be turned on yet.

Hi Fritsch
What does "sink" mean here? Is it real pulse-audio support finaly? Is it then possible to compile with --pulse-audio=enable?
For Kwin-Users: Just disable compositing in the desktop-effects-settings and it works like a charm.
cheers, tomme

hhooooray
I know pulse often is a pain in the a## but it makes life easier if you want run things like skype or chrome next to xbmc.

Good day to all!
Yesterday, or rather today, upgraded from 13.04 to 13.10, cleaned all the proprietary drivers and installed xbmc on a manual.
Everything works, and most importantly working hardware decoding.
Thank you very much for your work.
Faced with a problem that occurs:
The image became darker as in darkening the screen and watching the film, and in the menu.
Prompt where to dig?

@wsnipex
I have de-interlacing set to auto as the default for all videos so that is there by default. I swapped through temporal, bob, and bob (vdpau) with no help. I even stopped and saved the type to ensure no tainting for each test trial.

Guys, one more question.
How to make the "Blue Ray in the folder" open from menu "Movies."
At the moment when selecting Blue Ray monie to open a title or "dvd menu" opens any other film except desired.
When opening film from "Video" it's work fine.
