Enabling dirty regions can help speed up the GUI in XBMC and decrease the demand on your CPU and GPU. Dirty regions has no effect during video playback unless there are GUI elements (on screen buttons) visible. The video itself is unaffected by these settings. It is currently not enabled by default due to some GPU/hardware configurations having some minor issues (such as a visual "flicker"), but should still work for most set-ups. For more information see: Working with dirty regions


Using dirty regions requires XBMC v11 (Eden).


1. Create a text document and save it as advancedsettings.xml (or edit the existing one if you've already made it)
2. Cut and paste the following into your new advancedsettings.xml file:
<advancedsettings>
 <gui>    
   <algorithmdirtyregions>1</algorithmdirtyregions>
   <nofliptimeout>1000</nofliptimeout>
 </gui>
</advancedsettings>
3. Place your advancedsettings.xml file in your userdata folder.
4. Done!

Technical notes

From the advancedsettings.xml page:


<algorithmdirtyregions>


<nofliptimeout>
