Stuttering issue is described in https://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/12016
Possible problems are:
- MySQL on ext4, barriers problem
       either move your DB to a ext3 filesystem, or add "barrier=0" in your
mount command (/etc/fstab, eg. /dev/sda5    /    ext4    noatime,barrier=0
0    1).
- Some of your MySQL tables use the InnoDB engine, check your backup sql
files for "ENGINE=InnoDB"
       backup your DB, with a normal editor change "ENGINE=InnoDB" with
"ENGINE=MyISAM" and restore

Hope this helps,
