Intermitent black screen during play back
Hello

First thanks for this amazing distros, it is working great and far smooth than raspbian with xbmc over it.

I have a problem.

When i play a video in xbmc, it happens that there is an interemittent black screen of 0.5 seconds.

It is not regular at all, sometimes i got 4 black screen in a row, then nothing in the next 5 minutes.

Some videos have this problem, others have not. of course it is not in the video.

I suspect some kind of overflow, but i cannot see any terminal output to check on that.

So here my questions :
Do you have any ideas what can be the cause? and how can i fix this?

Is there any way to get the terminal output of the video player, in a log file for example ?

Is the video player used by xbmc omxplayer? i've tried to use omxplayer to play the video but the package is not even installed, so how xbmc play videos?

Thanks

Edit:
Here are some mediainfo :

For me the main difference is the audio, black screen one got 6 channels.
I'm gonna check on that.
