I have Nvidia ION is this known limitation? Looks likv TVHeadend is not correctly reporting the size? I am watching 1920x1080i content through hts-tvheaded (from the ppa). As result the play back is choppy on my box.
The same file when recorded and them played back as MKV works with VDPAU. Any ideas?
its a known bug: http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/8615
I figured out the following theorie: streams usualy do not start with an i-frame and as these are the only frame types from which correct picture dimensions can be obtained. Imho for the playback of a stream all frames are beeing disarded until the first i-frame is found. So xbmc should discard any other frames for streams, than determine the pic size and than start the playback.
