Hi all
I've now tried:
And just as a reminder I'm running at 1920x1080 @50hz.
But still my problems persist. However in my usual late night attempt to resolve this (sleep...yes I remember that) I noted that it seems particularly bad on h264 Region 1 DVD encodes. Testing playback using H264 encodes from back to the future 2 (region 2 dvd source) and Monsters vs Aliens (region 2 dvd source) both played with no frame drops (apart from initial start up) and no skipping.
Playing Air America and Final Fantasy Spirits Within (region 1 dvd sources) both saw frame jumping (but not necessarilly frame drops)
These where accompanied by the usual did not consume the full packet error in xbmc.log and these are not high def so I dont think this is a processor issue but I'm running out of other things to check!!!
This doesnt appear to be a problem with my network:
However for my own peace of mind and also as part of a standardisation I'm going to change the revo to mount the share through fstab.
Other than that I'm going to re-test with a couple of the original region 1 sourced H264 files locally on the Revo (I tested this before but that was hidef) and then I'm totally out of ideas.
Please Help!!!!! I love XBMC when its working well (watched a H264 rip of a BDAM - Big Dumb Action Movie - the other night and if it wasnt for the stutter / jumping I'd have removed the DVD player from the living room for good there and then so good was the experience)
I've now tried:
Quote:Disabling pulseaudio using rcconf
Disabled acpi using rcconf (especially ondemand to ensure power scaling wasnt being used)
Adding safefull to advancedsettings.xml
removing all resolutions from config xml
ensuring open gl sync is switched on
activating allow flip in nvidia settings

This doesnt appear to be a problem with my network:
Quote:Backend ubuntu Karmic running latest samba
Mix of EXT3S (internal) and NTFS external - temporary drives
All drives mounted into /media/library1 /media/library2 etc on startup
media share in smb.conf has strict locking = no and locking = no
Backend has 10/100 card through network switch to Gigabit lan in Revo
hard cabling between them no wifi or power plugs
File copy tool in XBMC shows hi throughput when tested
