Jerky Playback on Apple TV #7

Closed Iridabike closed 11 years ago

Iridabike commented 11 years ago

When used with an apple TV and XBMC I get very jerky playback. Any ideas how this can be fixed?

Are you running in ambilight mode? Or theatre mode?

Hi

I am running in ambilight mode. I think the Apple TV might not have the horsepower to do the capture. I am going to try with capture width and height reduced to something like 16x16 in default.py.

You got any other suggestions?

Cheers

Tim

Hi Iridabike,

Yeah, I'm thinking that might be it.

Reducing the screenshot size should be a quick way to determine if that's the issue. Another way would be to reduce the timing between the capture snapshots. By default it's set to wait 1 msec (look for xbmc.sleep(1) in default.py). You can try to increase that as well (of course, the ambilight effect will be lost then)

Are you running on an Apple TV 1? Or 2?

PS I just pushed version 0.5.0 in github. it's a major overhaul of the code, if you want you can give it a try (beware, didn't have time to test it thoroughly yet... )

Thanks for the fast reply.

I am running atv2. I will try out the new version tomorrow.

Cheers.
