I'm convinced it's because the frontend is playing too close to realtime, I suspect it isn't helped by the fact the BE prefers to write in 64kib chunks and the FE prefers to read in 32kib chunks. I do however have a fix - its a dirty hack, I've added a 2 second sleep to MythPlayer::OpenFile of course this slows down channel changes etc but so far (about a week) I've not had a reoccurance.

Hi,
  I've not bothered creating a patch as it's a very simple change, I'm running 0.27-fixes. On line 929 of mythtv/libs/libmythtv/mythplayer.cpp  (just after the line "int testreadsize = 2048;") I added a "usleep(2 * 1000 * 1000);"
