Hi
I have 2 annoying problems with xbmc-nightly´s.
1. around 45 minutes in a movie the video starts to get extremely jerky (around 3-4 fps) and all sound is lost, xbmc dosn´t recover. At this point in time the computer is responding to commands but is quite sluggish. Pressing "stop" and then restart the movie fixes the issue (dosn´t have to restart xbmc) but then the problem reappears after sometime (say 30 min) and I have to start the whole procedure again. The thing feels like a out-of-memory situation from back in the 90´s, but I have 8 gb of ram. In the log, see timestamp 21.15 and onwards.
2. Something is strange with the "match display frame rate to video". I can only get it to work by doing:
First start gfxcardstatus, force only dedicated video card, plug in the hdmi (picture shows on tv), finally start xbmc and start a movie. Now my TV indicates it has switched to 24hz and all is fine (except for point 1)
If I skip the gfxcardstatus step and just plug in the hdmi (computer switch to geforce 650m on it´s own I suppose) I get picture on the TV. After starting xbmc the video plays just fine BUT without switching the TV to 24 hz. It remains at 60 hz (default for mac desktop) according to the TV´s info panel. Strange hu?
Anyway, the log is for the first problem since it´s the most severe (don't have time to reproduce problem 2 right now).
