Choppy audio when seeking movies (Especially HD) - blazinramirez - 20th Mar, 2013 10:40 AM

Dear Guys,

I have a problem when I'm skipping the movie with the audio. If i'm sometimes skipping i hear choppy sound.
The strange thing I found out was when I go to the sounds and subtitles menu and change the
audio output to analog and then back to HDMI it's working for a couple of minutes. I tried different
things even trieed to turn of the playback rendering and sync. I also added hdmi_force_edid_audio=1.

I would really appreciate it. Thumps up for the team who made this brilliant piece of software possible.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the replys. I'm using the latest version of yesterday with xbmc 12.1 and the latest firmware. Also tried different cables and settings and adapters. I think this issue must be solved easily becuase I can fix it when i change the audio output and revert it back to HDMI. Can you maybe try it on a movie of icefilms and seek forward a couple of times?

How can I find the media log? I took a HD movie from icefilms Love and Honor its HD720p H264 AAC.

this is more likely an individual issue caused by your setup or related to the files you truing to play as I wasnt able to reproduce such issue no matter what I tried.
To get the media info you would have to have a local file and than use a soft like MediaInfo or similar. For your streams you may look into /.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log and you might be able to find it.
Try the exact same file type you playing from your "dodgy" addon but play from local source and see if that makes any difference

Hi,

I really want to try it with the factory settings. How can I test it without losing my addons? Thx

You can use XBMC Backup addon or make an image of the SD card which you can simply restore after

Thats what i already did, even the sftp method. I have this issue also on OE en RBMC so I think it is a pi issue.

as I mentioned above, this would be more likely related to the actual file or better said stream from your addon. Please try to play a local file with exact same specifications(audio/video codecs, etc), not from stream. Local mean from HDD or local network attached device. Not from http:// like streams from addons
