Hello!
I have a problem when playing streamed videos over the network since I updated from 8.04 to 9.04.1. The videos are send by a VDR-Streaming-server. The format is MPEG2-TS or -PS, both do show the same issue. The video starts playing quite fast with normal speed, but there is no sound. The sound comes in after about 5-6 seconds, obviously matching the video-output on the very beginning. The video then slows down (looks like a slowmo) and "waits" until the audio catched up. After another 5-6 seconds both audio and video are in sync and play at normal speed as desired.
I am using kubuntu 8.04 with Kernel 2.6.24-19 on both machines. Architecture is x86. The original stream is generated by VDR from a DVB-S source. The XBMC was installed using apt-get. The same behaviour could be observed on multiple laptops. Server is a Core 2 Quad at 2,33 GHz, 4 GB RAM, Laptops are Core 2 Duo at 2 GHz, 4 GB RAM with nvidia graphics.
I was looking for the cache-settings but after doing some reading i found out that they were removed.
Any hints how to solve the problem?
Best regards
Robert
