Kodi Too Slow for Continuous Playback
2013-06-11, 03:46
When I play any movie in XBMC, it plays so slow it is unwatchable. it takes about 5 to 10 seconds to load the first image. It then creeps along, as if I am trying to stream from the internet on dial up! I have uninstalled/reinstalled and upgraded to Frodo 12.2. I do not have this issue with any other media center software I try. there must be a setting that is off or a drive that does not like the XBMC player?
Here is what I am running
- Gigabit Ethernet
- Microsoft Windows 7 Professional
- Intel® Core™ i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz, 2653 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical
- 6GB Ram
- ATI Radeon HD 4770 (x2)
- All my files are on the same PC as XBMC
Any suggestions would be much appreciated

The playback is so slow, there is no audio. I did check and my audio settings are correct.

OK well give us
1. A screenshot of your audio settings (prtscr button on keyboard)
2. a debug log
3. details of where you are expecting the sound to come from (eg hdmi conected tv, spdif connected amplifier, internal sound card to analogue speakers etc etc).

How is the speed in the GUI? is navigating around the menus ok? is the slowness restricted to when you view video's only?
If only with videos then it almost certain that it is indeed audio settings, simple test for you, set:
Audio Output: Analog
Speaker configuration: 2.0
Audio output device: Directsound - "audio device you use"
If playback is then ok that then proves you had something wrongly configured, then refer to http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=146911 to find the issue.

I'll match that bet. Audio definitely off. Gotta check those intel drivers and audio settings in windows as well.
It is my audio settings 
I am connected to my receiver via HDMI. An update must have caused an issue or made an adjustment in the settings that is causing havoc. when i change to analog, the audio works fine. All of my drivers are up to date on my video card, I do have Max Number of Channels 8 and it does list AMD HDMI Output for the driver. My card does support Dolby True HD, but it is not listed under Encoded Formats?
Here is what is listed:
DTS Audio
Dolby Digital Plus
Dolby Digital
I have looked through the guide, but stuck on my next step?

1. Where can I post my images to link back to the thread?
2. I do not know how to run a bug report. How do I do that?
3. The sound comes from my ATI Radeon HD 4770 (x2) cards on my PC, connected via 100ft HDMI cable in the wall, directly into my Onkyo TX-SR605 AV Receiver.
1. Dropbox, imgur.com, etc
2. See Log file/Easy (wiki)

The answer is simple, despite what you think the Radeon HD4000 series GPU's do not support bitstreaming of DTS-HD and TrueHD, they will only pass HD audio that's been decoded and pass it as LPCM 7.1
To get DTS-HD & TrueHD bitstreaming from AMD/ATI hardware you need a minimum of a HD5000 series GPU.
