[mythtv-users] Playback problem -- random short pauses

[Michael T. Dean]

If you want to prevent all the "random short pauses" that occur during 
playback, simply change your Playback Profile group such that you never 
use VDPAU decoding.  Use ffmpeg decode with VDPAU rendering, and all 
works well.  The only pauses you'll see is the at-recording-start/stop 
pauses (which is a completely separate and unrelated problem).

Oh, also, I'm not using VDPAU deinterlacing, but I haven't tried whether 
use of VDPAU deinterlace causes the problems even when using ffmpeg 
decode (but if so, that would be very valuable information for helping 
track down the root cause).
