Haswell NUC - stuttering video on queued videos

  • Hi,

    I have a few Haswell NUC's that have served me well for the last few years. Up until 7.90.007 playing queued videos worked fine. However, with .007 and later, the second and subsequent videos often exhibit stuttering. This usually could be fixed by going to the Home screen then back to the video, or skipping to the next video and back again. Occasionally, the system would freeze or reboot if the stuttering was allowed to go uncorrected after multiple videos.

    Anyway after a bit of troubleshooting, I determined that setting DRI to 2 in xorg.conf resolved the issue:

    Code
    Option "DRI"        "2"

    I've been running with that setting for over a week now. Other than resolving my stuttering, I don't see any other changes to the picture quality. Hope this helps others.
