Hi Om, Did setting 'POLL_TIME = 0.05' in your local_conf.py fix this for you? I too am using the coreavc video codec on a 1920x1080 display. My processor is 2.0Ghz duo core. My video chipset is the Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS -- in case you were wondering about my setup. When I play a mkv file with freevo I notice slight video tearing and slight blocky video. Using 'ps ax |grep mplayer' to find the command freevo is using, I play this from the cli and the video is fine. I added the 'POLL_TIME = 0.05' to my local_conf.py, restarted freevo and saw no noticable change. I also use ffmpeg codec on a 720p x264 with the same result. -steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!
