Artifacts when playing some 1080p videos, works fine on ION box

[josh4trunks]

Installed openelec on my friends MSI E350IS-E45 and I'm having a few problems. I am getting constant artifacts when playing Avatar, and also a little bit of laggyness in the menus. Anyways hope I could get some help.

I attached the relevant log. Tell me if you need any more information and thank you very much for your help!

Hi Josh,

some videos on the Fusion platform are known to have artifacts. In this case I would also say it has to do with the same cause that's been known. Fernetmenta is working on it and this will take time to get some progress, but will not be forgotten .

Thanks for the reply.

I realized this when trying out some other videos. I tried about 20 and the only ones that didn't work was Avatar and one Pixar short. I will continue testing and post anything noticeable i see ion the logs. Thanks again for all the help

I also get the artifacts, on an Foxconn NT a3500 box running openelec from an SD card.

Whats the cause of this therio? Its the only 1 flaw I've found with this box - is it something that can be overcome?

I seem to be having the same problems with, for example the killa-sample and a 1080p version of The Dark Knight.

The issue is shown in this youtube video

This is not mine, but the artifacts are almost exactly the same.

I'm wondering if there already is a solution to this problem?

Well, it is an problem with the decoding of a particular x264 coded movie, 4.1 I thought I had read on an other topic on this board. Check the XVBA thread, Chewitt or FernetMenta had explained about it in a later post there.
