Travis,<br>
<br>
Thanks for responding.<br>
<br>
I haven't exactly solved the issue, but I've worked around it.<br>
<br>
First, I found that I could play video in Mplayer outside of MythTV, so<br>
it seems the problem is with MythTV + Mplayer.<br>
<br>
I ran mythfrontend from the command line, and that way caught some error<br>
messages. There was something about PulseAudio having a bug that causes<br>
pausing in Media Player.<br>
<br>
I looked it up on the web, and it seemed like it was it supposed to be<br>
fixed, but I guess not in my case.<br>
<br>
I also found out that I could change the default media player, and I<br>
selected to use "Internal".<br></blockquote></div><br><br>Interesting. I've been noticing pauses when the server gets loaded even a little. Is there a way to increase the buffer size for the internal player? The media is streamed over NFS. Increasing the buffer size for mplayer helped a lot in the past. The network is gigabit, the server is quite fast, and the frontends are quick with enough RAM for a large buffer. <br>
