> I'm going to mess around with this some more, flagging different
thread<br />> PID's as realtime (and also seeing what happens if I
change the<br />> scheduler to RR instead of FIFO) and see what happens
with the<br />> prebuffering pauses...<br />> <br /><br />Okay, so
changing the scheduler to round-robin instead of FIFO had no effect.
Neither did adding RT to the other FE thread(s) or even giving X an
rtprio. I can't seem to figure out WHY I'm getting all the
prebuffering pause messages. Neither processor core is fully loaded,
XvMC is being used, storage is local on a dedicated XFS formatted SATA
drive.<br /><br />I suppose I need to figure out what the message means.
;) Is it that the FE has data but is being held up on rendering it,
or that it's waiting to render something, but doesn't have data yet. <br
/><br />A promise: If/when I figure out what the message means, and
possible ways to troubleshoot it, I'll write up a wiki to help others as
well.<br /><br />
