<div>I experienced a bit more yesterday on my system watching Americal Idol (720p). I had to increase my ring buffer way high (Near 30MB) and then I started getting some smooth playback... BUT! I have to start mythfrontend from the console, when the audio stutter I hit "alt-tab", wait for the prebuffer to disappear and then "alt-tab".
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Watching the show with my wife was fun... She would say my name, I would do the alt-tab trick and the playback was smooth for a few minutes... Idle at 40% with XvMC...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Not sure why the buffer can't smooth itself out while plenty of juice is still available from the CPU.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My 0.18 recording on 0.19 frontend works just fine with my ring buffer at 9400KB, 0.19 recordings just don't work properly. I posted this observiation as "<span style="FONT-SIZE: larger"><b>NVP: prebuffering pause (Only
0.19 recorded shows)", no reply yet.</b></span></div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">> With deinterlacing disabled, the playback is perfect, and the<br>> prebuffering/underrun messages are absent from the log, but since I have a
<br>> progressive display, interlacing artifacts are present (and obnoxious for a<br>> stickler like me). I think someone else mentioned this but I've found this<br>> is consistent for live tv and for recordings, whether or not the recording
<br>> is finished or not. I tried to carefully check the playback of a recorded<br>> program, and find that the underruns don't happen at the same place<br>> everytime. When I disable deinterlacing they are gone. These are the
<br>> experiences for 1080i source material.<br><br>So what do you do, deint and get the pauses, or deal with the<br>obnoxious artifacts, or (what I am hoping you'll reply with) something<br>else? :)<br><br>Chad<br>_______________________________________________
