Is anybody noticing stuttering playback of video? It feels like it's trying to play the video that hasnt buffered enough, but with MC's new buffering functionality you can actually see how many minutes have been buffered and it shows that the whole video has been downloaded.
I have been experiencing it for many months on both of my computers (vista in fusion on my mac, and my sony vaio in the living room). It was worse for avi files, but in the last few weeks has got pretty bad with mkv files too. Most of the files are h.264 encoded. Library and files are on the same Windows Home Server machine.
There is no other software running on my living room computer while I am playing videos. I can only guess that it's a directshow thing. I am using CCCP, and coreAVC is often used to do the decoding.
