My current configuration: Raspberry pi, overclocked to second highest speed (Highest speed - Turbo isn't playing good, I get freezes, stutter in video etc)

 uname -a output:
 Linux raspberrypi 3.6.11+ #474 PREEMPT Thu Jun 13 17:14:42 BST 2013 armv6l GNU/Linux

Installed XBMC using: http://michael.gorven.za.net/raspberrypi/xbmc

XBMC version (Frodo):

XBMC Media Center 12.2 Git:Unknown
Copyright (C) 2005-2012 Team XBMC - http://www.xbmc.org

I've required licenses, and I've used raspbmc successfully to play 1080p, however I was implementing https://github.com/gkaindl/ambi-tv so I need to get raspbian wheezy and then XBMC.

I'm starting XBMC with:

xbmc-standalone

The problem is when I play 1080p video only audio is streamed, however setup works perfectly for 720p and SD videos. I can't figure out what am I missing, I would appreciate any help in the matter.

You might want to increase your video memory to at least 128 MB. For newer firmware version this can be done by adding the line

gpu_mem=128

(possible values: 16, 64, 128, 256) to your

/boot/config.txt

Helped for me.
