Hello all,
Sounds as if XBMC should be the sort of "Media Center" software I am looking for. I thought it would be nice if it were installed on my Office system, so I could watch movies and videos. I added the Repos as described in LeadFingers' posted instructions here: viewtopic.php?f=57&t=2527&st=0&sk=t&sd=a#p25583 . After installing, I opened the program, and tried to configure via the Settings button. All seemed to go well, but when I play a video, all starts out ok, but if I try to Pause, or FastForward/Rewind, or any other action, XBMC freezes with a constant "stuttering" sound that will not stop until the system is re-booted. I am running Ultimate Edition 2.0 X64, on the Shop: system listed below in my sig.
This is my 1st attempt with getting XBMC configured. Audio, and Pictures seem OK, but the Video is unreliable, at this time. The Audio Output is set to Analog, and the Audio Output Device is set to default under Settings>System>Audio Hardware inside XBMC. Originally the Audio Output was set to Digital when XBMC was installed. It did the same sort of "freeze" complete with the constant "stutter" (which sounds as if the last second (or less) of the audio track is stuck in a very fast loop).
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Can anyone point me toward a solution? I would believe that the hardware this is all running on should be more than capable...yes??
Any ideas anyone...??
