hi all.

i have a problem with my PI,
when i want to play a 1080p video after a few seconds i have no sound and no video.
and my tv sometimes says: video format unsupported
but when i stop the video and get back to the menu, the video (menu) comes back.
vlc says the codec is: Codec: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (avc1)
i thougt i didn't need the mpeg licence for this.

any idea's?

running xbian 1.0 b2

It's not the license as you would get sound but no video.

It is possible that the format is not supported, or more than likely a slow transfer speed.
How are you reading the file? Flash, HDD, SMB, NFS?

Can you post the output of dmesg and xbmc.log as defined in "Read before you post".

*edit, misunderstood you* But im gonna look at te dmesg, will post back

Working on getting the log, im playing it from a, non powerd, hdd.
(a little one that takes the power from the usb port)
and i'm not having the problem with normal quality videos in the same codecs

Use the HDD on a powered Hub. The output of the RPi USB is only 100ma. This could be the cause of you issue.
