Hello. I am running xbmc on Fedora 18. I have an issue wherein playing a 1080p (or anything HD) manually with VLC plays perfectly. However, using xbmc to launch a video with vlc is very choppy, the video begins to lad behind audio and is unwatchable. I've seen a few threads about this but no solutions have helped me. This happens with every mkv I try to play through xbmc.
#yum info xbmc
Installed Packages
Name : xbmc
Arch : x86_64
Version : 12.0

#uname -a

Default skin. I can reproduce this problem every time I try to watch a show with xbmc. While running vlc through xbmc top shows xbmc itself is taking up a ton of cpu.
Here's my playercorefactory.xml file where i tell xbmc to use vlc:
This exact setup works just fine when using this same computer to play movies with vlc via xbmc but running windows 7 64 bit. I only have ssh access at the moment to this computer but I can post a debug log later tonight if that is necessary.
