resolution problem - coreflake - 11th Feb, 2013 01:30 AM

hey everybody,
i'm having a little trouble setting up a configuration at my dad house.
Everything is working fine.
HDD and WIFI connected trough external powered usb hub.
However if i change the resolution (system settings xbmc) to 1080p in stead of 720p some of the movies don't play.
It's seems completely random, some HD movies don't play as well as some low res movies.
change resolution back to 720p everything works flawless.
any ideas ?

Thanks

Edit : using last kernel and last XBMC version

native resolution is : 1920 x 1080
Tried 24hz/50hz/60hz modes , makes no difference.
When i put it on 24hz , first 10 seconds play. Then black screen only sound.

so do the following from SSH
Code:
nano /boot/config.txt

and change the following
Code:
gpu mem 256=100
to

This is a debug log of me doing :
- setting resolution to 1080p
- calibrating screen
- playing 3 different media files (black screen, only sound).
