[QUOTE="CanadianEh, post: 1077370, member: 114499"] Good afternoon, Over the past few months, I've been trying to get XBMC to work as a client PC for rooms where very little TV is watched and I don't need the full functionality of the MediaPortal client (ie: the bedroom, and my office). The biggest hurdle has been stuttering video and/or major audio delay (primarily H.264 recordings from the HD-PVR) on XBMC clients, while the MediaPortal client would work just fine. Anyway, I wanted to document this, for anyone else that may run into this in the future. Key things: Client PC: - OpenElec Gotham beta build - Tried using on-board Intel HD 3000 graphics - TERRIBLE deinterlacing of video - Upgraded to an Nvidia Geforce GT 610 - deinterlacing issues resolved MediaPortal server: - Upgraded HD-PVR drivers to 1.7.300.59.1 - no more lip sync / audio issues in XBMC on H.264 content (so far) There appears to be a bug in the 1.7.300.59.1 HD-PVR drivers, where the brightness is too bright on one capture device, so I still have to look into that, but so far, this is looking like a working config. Additionally, my Macbook Pro (OSX Mavericks) is now able to run XBMC and stream these channels as well, without lip sync issues. The HD-PVR drivers were key here (along with dumping the Intel graphics on the client, which don't seem to be that well supported in Linux/Openelec). Hopefully this information will be useful for others with HD-PVR's. [/QUOTE]
