<br>Some additional info is that I am able to play dvd isos using xine with a 64k mtu without issue and also could play bluray isos in myth without issue. Seems like something in the myth code for playing dvd isos has a problem or may have changed.<br>
<br>Now most of my dvd isos will play, I still have 1/2 dozen that won't although the failure is different (these play fine in xine). I wonder if it is related. This is the log from trying to play one of those (with the loopback MTU set to 16k)<br>

First, please try not to top post...<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I stuck with 16436 because that was the original value in the kernels that didn't give problems. I figured if it was not broke I'd stick with what I knew would work. Since I made the change I've had none of the stuttering issues at all.<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I'm not sure what is causing the issue with your other .iso files however. Myth has always been somewhat buggy when it comes to DVD playback. VLC and xine are typically flawless but the same files choke MythTV. I've started ripping almost everything to .mkv files because of the headaches with .iso.<br>

<br></blockquote></div><br>Yes, my bad form on the top posting. I am use to gmail doing this.<br><br>I use a hybrid system to deal with isos using a script set for file types (with tips gleaned from this mailing list over time). When possible I prefer the myth player, but when things are behaving badly I move things to other players. Now that the MTU problem is fixed, this is how I am dealing with 6 isos that worked in 0.25 and have stopped working in 0.26. Maybe others will find it useful.<br>
