Xbian on Raspberry Pi playing 1080p MKV video files across home network from Mac OSX and PC - Duration: 12:19.

Built on Aug 24. 昨天讲了我的电影电视剧的储存方法，今天接着来讲一下媒体文件的管理方法 给大家介绍一个软件，相信一些老玩家知道这个软件，叫Kodi，原来是XBMC，纯开源的媒体播放中心，现在很多视频盒子，其实都是在这个软件基.
I've installed Linaro (with berryboot) on my Cubiebaord. Then I've compiled XBMC through the sunxi tutorial http://linux-sunxi.org/XBMC (I did the installation 5 days ago).
Compilation works fine and I can execute XBMC on the Cubieboard.
avi files work but mkv files (720p and 1080p) are playing with low framerate. Sound works when I disable all audio decoder (DTS, AAC...). I've checked the CPU: it works at only 25%.
I've check XBMC log and it seems that cedar is used.
I've tried to change several sound setup but h264 always plays slowly.
I've tried Android image and wheezy image provided by Martin Wild (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/cubieboard/3XT_IdTJ2n0) but I've got the same behaviour :(
I've compiled and used VLC with Linaro: VLC correctly plays the same h264 files.
I've done lot of tests since 3 weeks but I don't succeed in playing mkv files with XBMC. I've doubts about mkv with XBMC...
Can XBMC decode h264 files on allwinner A10?
Is there a specific configuration of XBMC?
Must I configure something before launching XBMC?
Does Linaro can be used with XBMC?
Does anybody succeed in playing mkv with XBMC?
I haven't got no more idea.
Thanks.

Kodi crashes while playing MKV
'Currently, my NAS hooked up to my network and while playing mkv files, half way or 3/4 through the movie the sound cuts out and then Kodi crashes. Anyone else experience this and have a fix?'
Why Kodi not playing MKV files properly
Although MKV is lucky enough to be included in Kodi supported file formats. However, it is well known that MKV is a container file format, it can hold many different type of audio, video codec such as H.264, VC-1, AC3, DTS, etc and also subtitle streams, menus and chapter structure. If there are some video, audio or other information that Kodi does not recognize, you will easily encounter no sound or crashes issues.
Fix Kodi MKV playback crashes issues
To play MKV files smoothly on Kodi, the best solution is to transcode MKV files to Kodi best compatible H.264 video codec with AAC audio codec. Here, you can perform the video format transcoding process by downloading a program called Pavtube Video Converter for Windows/Mac. The program offers a free trial version so that you can try it out fully with a waterstamp to see that it could do what you wanted.
Besides transcoding MKV files for playback on Kodi, the program also gives the chance to convert other media source such as 3D ISO files, DVD Video_TS folder, Tivo recordings to Kodi play back.
How to Convert MKV to Kodi Best Format to Fix No Sound and Crashes Issues?
Step 1: Import MKV files.
Launch the application on your computer, click 'File' > 'Load Video/Audio' or 'Load from Folder' to import MKV files to the program.
Step 2: Choose proper format to watch MKV files on Kodi.
Click 'Format' bar, from its drop-down option, select to output Kodi best playable video formats by following 'HD Video' > 'H.264 HD Video(*.mp4)'.
Step 3: Customize to output Kodi playable audio codec.
Click 'Settings' to open 'Profile' settings window, in 'Audio' section, click 'Codec' drop-down list, select Kodi playable AAC codec to output.
Step 4: Start the conversion.
Go back to the main UI and click 'Convert'button to start MKV to Kodi supported file format conversion process.
After the conversion, if you own a Chromecast, you can install Kodi/XBMC on your Chromecast for casting MKV files from Chromecast to TV via Kodi.
