[mythtv-users] Perplexing one - On screens with lots of bl ack playback judder s

[Barker Thomas]

I did have use video as timebase, and assumed that to be my problem , so I
unchecked it. But I still get the problem.

As far as I am aware though, I tried playing the same file on a remote
frontend connected to the juddery machine (backend) and did not get the same
problem..  I will have to verify that though.

It really is a strange one..

I'm glad it's not just me, yes I see this too. This is also with UK
DVB (TS mode), in fact i've only seen it for one program (Nip Tuck)
but it does for every episode at all 'fades to black' for advert
breaks plus other dark scenes.

One thing I haven't checked that may be of interest is whether mplayer
displays this behaviour or not. Thomas, just out of interest, do you
have 'use video as timebase' checked or not? This setting could be
related and is probably worth testing.

I can probably supply a short mpeg file that demonstrates this
behaviour if required.
