[mythtv-users] I must be cursed with stuttering problems

[john roberts]

Well - after re-installing the nVidia driver (as was suggested below) I still had stutter.  But I (for the heck of it) rebuilt the mythtv portion and reinstalled it .... and....  the stutter is gone.

Go figure.

Thanks everyone!

-John

Even though I had stutter issues on ATSC content with the older nVidia card I could hit "p"ause during playback and it would go away after un-pausing.  I can no longer get it to stop stuttering even after pausing.
