Hi all!
First off, thanks for an amazing media center! Before I tried it, I seriously considered if I'd thrown away $700 for nothing.
Now to the issues. The first week or so everything worked perfectly. It played any video I threw at it with ease, and it's never crashed once. But, suddenly, it's started skipping and freezing at random times and places while watching videos. It only seems to affect Matroska embedded x264 videos, and not XViD or anything else.
The only thing I've changed is the skin, I'm now using xTV instead of the default. I haven't had the time to really try videos with the default skin, but is there even a chance that could be the cause?
The machine is a standard equipped Mac Mini 2.0Ghz C2D with 1GB RAM. I don't have many installed programs running, except for Quicksilver and some HDD-space-left applet in the Apple bar.
I'm holding out for 0.5, hoping it might fix things if it is indeed a problem with XBMC itself. But if it isn't, does anyone have any creative ideas or suggestions?
