The Daily Show on Boxee

[basketcase590]

Does anyone else have the problem where the daily show runs choppy? The audio is fine but the video looks like a web cam running on a 56k modem. the internet is fine, i have even tested this problem on multiple connections with no luck. the computer is a p4 3ghz with 3 gig ram and a 1 gig nvidia gts 250. my old comp was an ati card and that didn't make a difference. I have had this problem since the i started using boxee. i am running flash 10.1. other streaming services work alright like nova or anything on the front page. please help!

Just confirming that I do not have your problem with The Daily Show - it plays fine - both audio and video are very good

You mention that you have had this issue since you started using Boxee - just wanted to be sure you are using the latest version that was released on 7-9-10 - if not - you can get v12594 in the 1st sticky under "Boxee Community/Announcements - it 'might' possibly help

Check back if your issue still persists - and state which OS you are using too - I'm out of ideas to help - but maybe others can - seems odd that it's only on The Daily Show!!

I have the latest release of boxee 7-9-10. I have tried the daily show on two separate computers, both of which run full hd video fine. on two different internet connections. computer #1 was amd 2.08ghz with 2 gb ddr-1 333mhz. agp ati 512mb 3450 and computer #2 is intel p4 3.0 ghz with 3 gb ddr 1 333mhz and PCIe Nvidia 1 gb gts 250. Both computers at one point had windows vista and windows 7 ultimate 32bit. both have soundblaster xfi. both had latest video drivers, updates, and flash software. i realize they are out dated machines but i only use them for boxee. They work fine for other streams like youtube and are great for watching stored videos. when i launch the daily show it is clear even before the video loads that there is/going to be a problem. the yellow 'loading' boxes move really slow and choppy.when i exit TDS the boxee menu is smooth. if i am still in it even the mouse moves slow and choppy.

and i guess i have my answer.

**If you have older or low performance hardware**
Users of Boxee Beta with video cards that do not support GPU acceleration of Flash, Silverlight and H264 .mp4 files and have low power single or dual core CPU's, will experience stuttering Flash and HD video. Even with Flash 10.1 updates above, an update to newer and more compatible hardware may be required.

Its just weird because 1080p works fine, but thanks for trying to help any way.
