<b>Subject:</b> [mythtv-users] How to Prevent Freeze When Starting Playback<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">I have a combined backend/frontend and now an additional (separate) frontend, both running 0.27 on Mythbuntu. I have noticed with increasing frequency on both systems over the past several weeks that MythTV
temporarily hangs when I start playing back a previously recorded show.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">To be a bit more specific, when I select the show I want to watch and click OK on my remote, playback often does not begin for a few seconds, and sometimes for as much as 45 seconds. I'd estimate that the frequency
of the delay follows this pattern:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> 40% - No noticeable delay at all<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> 30% - Delay of 3 seconds or less<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> 15% - Delay of 3-5 seconds<br>
10% - Delay of 5-10 seconds<br>
5% - Delay of 10 seconds or more<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">What I mean by "freeze" is that it continues showing the list of programs from which I selected (the video hasn't started playing yet) and the frontend no longer responds to input from the remote. In the extreme
cases where it freezes for 20+ seconds, I start to doubt whether I'd actually hit OK in the first place, so I hit it again. Nothing happens, of course, until the program eventually starts playing and the system processes both clicks.<br>
<br>
Any idea what causes this delay and how I can eliminate it?<o:p></o:p></p>
