Tried enabling true full screen and it didn't work. XBMC just stops responding, mouse won't move, no "working", nothing. Then a long time later it will start playing, but seeking breaks it again. Are you guys running wired or wireless?

Also, I'm running 12.2 with the base skin.

I wouldnt dream of running a huge file like that wirelessly.

You're missing out then The Boxee plays them flawlessly, but again, XBMC freezes or takes a long, long time. I've tried every audio setting possible switching from HDMI to analog to optical. ISOs freeze, MKVs freeze. Some SD stuff runs okay. HD TV shows seem to work okay most of the time. I've disabled all advanced audio settings. I experienced this same behavior in XBMC under Linux as well. I also experienced this behavior wired and wireless. I don't understand how no one else is having these issues.

It sounds like your issue is a really big problem, if its happening across multiple OS's, is it time to start thinking about possible 'faulty' hardware?

Are you unable to play videos on anything else (other than xbmc) on any os? I had a similar experience when trying to play iso's on windows but no where near as bad as your descibing. It randomly would freeze and just display a black screen - all of that fixed now in the latest drivers released today (win 7).

To me if its happening across multiple OS I'd be starting to look at hardware if you haven't already >.<
