Whilst XBMC is playing media on screen you can activate the codecinfo pop-up/overlay. This normally appears as white text on a black background bar located near the top of the screen (dependent on the skin being used).

The codecinfo displays a number of variables in real time describing detailed codec information.

A sample of the information displayed is as follows:

audio:(mp3lib MPEG layer-2, layer-3) br:128000 sr:48.00 khz chns:2

video:FFmpeg MPEG-4 fps:23.98 512x384 early/late:3/2

fps:23.93 cpu:0.00 dropped:1 Q:0 cache:80% ct:0.05 ac:-0.01


audio:(mp3lib MPEG layer-2, layer-3) Audio Codec in use br:128000 Bit Rate of Audio Codec sr:48.00 khz ? chns:2 Number of audio channels present video:FFmpeg MPEG-4 Audio Codec in use fps:23.98 512x384 Frames Per Second and resolution of video early/late:3/2 Number of frames that have arrived earlier than expected and later than required. fps:23.93 Frames Per Second (listed twice for some reason) cpu:0.00 CPU Usage (Assume Zero due to some mod quirk) dropped:1 Number of dropped frames Q:0 ? cache:80% XBMC caches the media locally to ensure continuous uninterupted playback. If this figure drops it is due to either XBMC or the network is struggling to keep up with the data throughput. ct:0.05 ? ac:-0.01 ?
