I'm been running XBMC Gotham (latest version) running on Windows 7. I seem to get a lot of issues with slight stuttering (frames dropped / skipped).
I've tried running files locally (to eliminate network issues), used software decoding / hardware decoding, you name it I've tried it.
Today I started testing with Openelec and the same files (across the same network) run far more smoothly, using VAAPI, but with identical other settings.
It's likely I'll be told just run Openelec then, but this was intended to be more than just XBMC.
Is this difference due to bad graphics drivers (I noticed Intel has a beta driver up, but it's really unstable and crashes Windows) or is this more to do with VAAPI which is lacking in the Gotham Windows version (unless I'm missing something)?
