Hello,

I've been using XBMC for a couple of weeks now....i'm a long time mythtv user and thought the XBMC interface was a bit nicer and decided to give it a go...with Aeon stark theme.

It looks great but it doesn't seem to run very well...the audio is lagging and i'm getting random lockups. I've tried the stable release and the latest svn release.

Running an intel core 2 duo on an asus p5Q motherboard, 2gb ram, 512 geforce card. On ubuntu 9.04, i tried it on 8.10 as well.

Any ideas? I would like to keep using xbmc but its look like i may have to go back to myth or something else?

Try it on Windows =)

Hard to give any specific advice without more information (what files/codecs you are trying to play when you get laggy sound, debuglogs, reproduceable lockups).

I guess you're using latest drivers? Also, what kind of graphics card is "512 geforce"?

Recreate the problems with Debugging enabled and upload the contents of xbmc.log to paste bin. also, post the steps you take to experience the problems. That's not normal behavior.

check out my signature for more help collecting the debug log.

Don't cut the log, the parts of the log you showed there don't say anything useful.

Ok i've played another movie and the sound is lagging, the movie is still playing but here is the log from start to now.

thanks again, any suggestions would be great.

i've also updated to the latest svn, updated to alsa 1.20 and nvidia drivers 1.85 with the same result.

seems like a weird issue i've never seen this in linux before, xine, mplayer and mythtv all play fine just not xbmc?

you can try to fix it that way:

Disable pulseaudio.

[xbmcn00b]

oh i understand now.....for some reason i thought you meant disable pulse in the OS, i'll recompile with disable and post the results.

thank you.

sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio*

should do it, no need for recompile (worked for me anyway)
