[mythtv-users] MythGallery: "Timed out waiting for frames" playing MJPEG

[Raffaele BELARDI]

After the move to 0.25 playback of the videos recorded from my still
camera in MythGallery is awful: Internal player plays a couple of
seconds, then stops audio and video, then continues, then stops again
and so on. The log is full of "Timed out waiting for frames, and There
are not enough free frames, discarding buffered frames".

mplayer plays the same files without issues. No problem playing AVIs nor
high quality mkv with Internal player. Live TV is ok.

One workaround could be to change the file extension for the MJPEG files
and use mplayer instead of Internal on those.

Any other (smarter) possibility?

I'm running 0.25 from "https://github.com/MythTV/packaging/Gentoo",
Nvidia GT520 PCIe video card with 295.20 driver, AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+,
all files are played from local ext3/SATA discs. Audio is plain stereo
with the ALSA pcm plugin to duplicate it to to two stereo channels.

The same problem with no solution is described here:
