<p>Oh and I think all my recordings are over 5gigs, ill try some shorter ones and a few SD ones to see if anything changes</p>

<p>I'm seeing similar on HD recordings from dvb-s2. When it happens the FE is completely unresponsive to ir remote or keyboard commands.</p>
<p>I did get some FE/BE logs the other night but they didn't contain much. I'll try again with -v playback to see if it sheds any light.</p>
<p>Fwiw I'm on a dual core p4 @ 3.2ghz with 4gigs ram and a gt430 using vdpau</p>
<p>Any advice appreciated</p>

2gb ram (2x 1gb iirc).<br>
<br>
when i watch shows, that are over a certain size (1hour 5gb HD<br>
recordings definitely do it, 40min 1.4gb files seem not to), i will<br>
get random mini freezes of the video after a certain period.<br>
the other night i was watching a 5.6gb recording, and it froze twice;<br>
once around 25mins, and again around 50min area. rewinding and<br>
replaying again does not re-produce that mini-freeze.<br>
<br>
what i suspect is happening is the video is being buffered to RAM, and<br>
it then gets wiped after a period (once ram is full?), which is whats<br>
causing the freezing.<br>
<br>
i have been SSH'd into the FE while a freeze occured. while i didnt<br>
catch resource usage at that exact time, CPU and RAM utilization were<br>
acceptable within 10-20 seconds either side of the freezing.<br>
(mythfrontend process)<br>
<br>
can anyone confirm/deny if my suspicions are correct, and what would<br>
be an appropriate solution? more ram would be an idea, but due to the<br>
atoms 3gb RAM limit, then i'd likely still see the freeze if it is<br>
indeed down to a flushing RAM issue.<br>
i know atoms arent highly recommended here, but i dont believe the<br>
underpowered state is the issue here, else i'd be experiencing issues<br>
alot closer together. HD playback seems fine for the shorter shows<br>
(around 30mins), but freezes do occur for longer running shows (1h).<br>
