    Exclamation Scrambled line at the bottom of al blueray movies

    Hello!

    On every .mkv / blueray 720/1080 movie i have a scramble line at the bottom of the picture. Is this a bug? If not how can fix it so i don't have to see this scramble line on every HD movie?!

    Found a bugreport in XBMC about DVXA2 that covers this error. Maybe it has something to do with the same error in boxee?

    http://trac.xbmc.org/changeset/27376

    "Known issues:
    Raw blueray h264 => weird corruption of bottom half of video"

    Anyone? Please Help!

    What's your OS, CPU, and Video card specs. This has a direct relation most times.

    What's the MKV file specs? Install MediaInfo and post the tree report on the file that creates this issue. We need this to see how the subs are built into the file, which is most likely the reason for the subs looking like they do on boxee. Unfortunately, Boxee does not support every subtitle format or every MKV encoding option.

    XBMC is not related to Boxee and most issues are not related between the two any longer....

    Thanks for your replay!

    I will post the report of the file later because i'm not home to check now.

    Ok. Strange that they have the same problem, i thought that you maybe used same libs or function in some way? I have another same problem that XMBC user also have: "Apple encoded h264 => green screen or corrupt green screen" But that is another question that don't bother me so much.

    That is somewhat related to the encoding/errors/mkv/ thing I mentioned. Some apple encodes or older encoders may give this effect.
    Some good reference are these post from a fellow enthusiast.
