[mythtv-users] Last few problems - playback consistency, auto-shutdown questions, live firewire

[Chris Weiland]

Glenn: Thanks, I'll have to try the shutdown script.  Now if I could only
figure out a way for the frontend to shut itself down after being idle for a
while...


Yan-Fa: Actually, turning ON opengl vsync seems to have mostly fixed the
random speedup/slowdowns - it happens a lot less often, and when it does
happen, it's not nearly as bad.  Maybe it was something else I had changed,
so I'll have to play around with it.


Marin: I'm not getting those errors.  However, this IS what I'm getting:

The last 3 lines then repeat for a long time every coupld of milliseconds.
Then:

Don't know what that's all about.
