[mythtv-users] a little more on FF /jump lockups during playback

[Alan Snyder]

Does this happen in all recorded programs?  I had a
very similar problem,
but only on certain recordings, and those recordings
always had smaller file
sizes than what would be expected for the duration
(e.g., around 550 MB/hr
rather than the usual 750).  I've also found that my
frontend would freeze
if left in the recording selection screen, with X
taking all of the CPU. 

Based upon the programs to which this happened, I had
some suspicion that it
was happening to programs that were being recorded
while I looked at my
recorded programs list in mythweb2 - something to do
with grabbing the
preview image, perhaps?  But I definitely can't say
for sure.

I never really tracked this down - just upgraded from
CVS a week before 0.11
to CVS a week after, and also disabled video previews
in the selection
screen, and I haven't seen this happen since.
