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 popup displays a number of real time variables describing detailed information on the codecs currently in use.

The following example shows some realistic sample data in the approximate form it is displayed: 

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
