The "finish early" fix only applies to AVSync2. See comment 1 in the ticket.

I will try that one. Does it always glitch in the same place?

I did see a period of stuttery playback during David's recording while I 
was testing the finish earky fix. The thing is, during the stuttery 
playback the system was unresponsive to the remote. This indicates that 
something on the system was pre-empting mythfrontend.

What springs to mind is that it may have been doing a java full garbage 
collect operation. My experience with java (non-android) is you need to 
be careful to avoid full garbage collect operations during a real-time 
process like playback. Mediacodec decoding goes through java code so it 
may be a possibility. I don't know how you adjust the garbage collect 
settings on android, on regular systems it is via parameters on the java 
command line.

Do you notice that it is unresponsive to the remote while the stuttering 
takes place?
