Hi!

I tried XBian 0.8.3 and there is no choppinies, so 'problem solved'. BUT... the subtitles look totally different in the older version supporting my theory that it has something to do with the subtitles.

Here is a picture of how the subtitles look with 0.8.3. I captured an instance where they get sort of messed up and show extra info: http://imgur.com/XUu2W ... alpha 3, the subtitles actually look nice and do not get messed up. In alpha 3, the subtitles look identical to how they look in the other two RPi xbmc distributions and those also have this choppy problem (I came and posted here because pre alpha 3 versions worked). Note that the times when the subtitles are messed up in 0.8.3 do NOT correspond to the choppiness in alpha 3.

Is there some reference mkv with 720p video (H264, ac3) and subtitles I can test out? Maybe the problem is with the particular mkv files I have? Something bad? Something corrupt? I would share them, but they are 500MB. Maybe I can point someone to where I got them?
