Since I began using XBMC with 24hz playback, I have been battling this sync problem.

I switched to the nightlies to use the new audio engine, and it did help a little, but I still have sync issues and I have been constantly tweaking and trying settings to resolve the issue, but still can't quite get it right.

I've been trying to use the advancedsettings.xml to adjust the delay, but it's not working.  It's like it's not reading any of the settings in the xml at all.  Did the nightlies remove the Global AV patch?  With my receiver delay set to 120ms, there is no difference in sync when the delay in the xml set to 200 or removing the xml completely.  With that much delay specified, the audio should be distinctly out of sync at one point or another, but it's not.  So it tell me that the settings isn't being read in XBMC.

Not my permanent settings, just an example of my xml.

Code:

<advancedsettings>
  <video>
    <latency>
      <delay>0</delay>
      <refresh>
        <min>23</min>
        <max>24</max>
        <delay>200</delay>
      </refresh>
    </latency>
  </video>
</advancedsettings>

The next issue is once I get it as close to in sync as I can with the receiver, I can't pause the video.  Pausing a video results in a significant change in the delay.  So if it was in sync, it isn't any longer.  I have to completely stop the videos and start playback again to keep things in sync.
