[QUOTE="PhilUK, post: 951864, member: 103404"] Hi all, I am trying, once and for all to get my Acer Revo R3600 set up correctly and effectively to play HD & SD content through Moving Pictures & OnlineVideo. I am not using the setup for live TV of any kind as my experience with this machine was not good due to the 230 Atom chip. My current setup is as follows: OS: Windows 7 32 Bit RAM: 3GB Installed (2.75GB Usable) MP: v1.3 Beta Codec Pack: SAF 6.1.8 (latest) I cannot now (since updating to SAF 6.1.8 this morning which coincidentally removed the LAV filters installed with MP1.3) find a set of codecs which will allow me to run both local files (up to 1080p mkv) and stream HD files from Onlinevideos (BBC iPlayer 720p) without some form of stutter in both cases. Note that prior to updating SAF from 6.1.1 (I think) local 1080p files played flawlessly using ffdshow DXVA. Online streaming has always been a bit temperamental. Currently, for streaming HD content from iPlayer using OnlineVideos I find LAV works best with hardware acceleration set to either DXVA2 or none (surprisingly). I do however still get some micro-stuttering in the stream. ffdshow has significant pauses in the stream which makes the content unwatchable. For local content the DXVA codec now stutters significantly when playing back 1080p mkv files. LAV with DXVA2 native stutters mildly at regular intervals. LAV with CUVID is like watching a slideshow. As it stands this is stopping me using my mediacentre for anything other than SD content! Has anyone got any experience of how best to set up this system which is heavily reliant on the ION chip due to the underpowered Atom 230 CPU? Any advice on how to diagnose where the issue lies?
