</div></div>Ken, any updates on the three playback issues while running from trunk?<br>

Steve<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">The issue isn't nearly as bad as it was when I was on 24-fixes (caveat: there have been many backports of changes made from master to 24-fixes that I have not tested).<div>
<br></div><div>Almost all pauses that I see now (but not all) occur when a recording is starting or ending. The pause is very short (one second or less). There are occasional (guessing once for every 3 or 4 hours of watching recordings) pauses that don't coincide with other recordings starting/stopping. They are also very short in duration. I've never seen a correlation between the random pauses and high disk or CPU activity.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'm not sure I can give you accurate information (regarding the original problem) since I have since changed my hardware configuration significantly. My cpu went from a quad-core 2.6gHz to a quad-core 3.3gHz. I changed my recording drive from LVM on four 1TB drives in a RAID5 configuration to 5 1TB drives in a RAID6 configuration. My motherboard is different (still Asus).</div>
<div><br></div><div>In my opinion, this shouldn't have affected the problems I was seeing, but it adds confusion. </div><div><br></div><div>You can notice the pauses but they are not so distracting as to cause complaints (WAF back to normal, acceptable levels ;-) )</div>
