When I try to play my video files in SMPlayer it works fine but as soon as I switch to fullscreen mode(16:9) following thing happens:
1) Video starts lagging.
2) Audio and video goes out of sync.
3) CPU usage rises to ~50%.
4) SMPlayer starts to hang.
My current SMPlayer configuration:
1)Video Output Driver = x11(slow)
2)Audio Output Driver = alsa(0.0-HDA Intel)
3)Cache = 8192 KB
4)Threads for decoding(MPEG-1/2 and H.264 only = 2
Things I tried solve this problem:
1) Tried changing video o/p driver to xv,gl.
2) Tried changing audio o/p driver to pulse.
3) Tried increasing cache size and also tried using nocache.
Everything works fine on windows but I don't want to switch to windows just to play video files.
My system config:
Acer Aspire One D270
Atom N2600(Cedar Trail) 1.6GHz
2GB Memory
Intel GMA 3600 graphics.
Ubuntu 12.04
Kernel Release: 3.2.0-23-generic-pae
Rest all things are working fine I have no resolution issue, bluetooth, wireless also working fine.
Just ask me to submit any other log file I will be happy to post.
