Well, I just got my new xbmc machine put together and it's up and running. Everything seems to be working great so far - have been able to watch TV episodes from my file server without issue.
However, whenever I go to play movies (ISO rips, full size) XBMC seems to lag quite a bit before actually launching the ISO and then blasts loud garbled static until I stop it. It has also caused the PC to freeze up to the point of requiring a reboot a couple times as well. I was able to get to a DVD menu and navigate, but the audio was completely borked.
I'm at a loss here, and was hoping someone might be able to shed some insight into what might be causing this.
My specs:
Zotac ION ITX-A-U
2GB RAM
Ubuntu 9.0.4 standard install
Video/Audio both going through HDMI directly to TV.
The only media that's causing trouble is DVD rips (straight ISO rips, no repackaging/encoding). I am able to watch AVI and WMV so far without any problem at all.
Any help would be most appreciated!
