I am running XBMC Eden on an Acer Revo 3610 on Windows 7. Output is via HDMI to a Yamaha 7.1-ch receiver and from there to a plasma TV. Skin is PM3.HD.
I am streaming SD videos stored on an external drive on another PC over a wired network.
The system has been working fine for several months. A few days ago I noticed that when I'm watching 4:3 TV series (ripped to mkv), every two or three minutes the system stutters momentarily, skips back a couple of seconds, then carries on playing back. Previously these 4:3 videos played fine. I have gone back to previously watched videos and the problem is there too.
So far, I have not noticed this with movies (also ripped to mkv) in other aspect ratios, only with 4:3.
They play fine on the Revo using VLC.
I have tried all the options I can think of in the video settings but nothing seems to help. I even completely uninstalled and reinstalled XBMC. I have tested the LAN speed and the Revo is reading from the TV Shows directory at 88.6Mbps
I enabled logging and waited until one of these stutters. The log is here: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=8061. It seems to be full of errors!
The stutter occurred at around 13:15 to13:16.
Thanks in advance for any assistance with this. The files play fine on another XBMC installation (on a laptop running Win7 over wifi)
