FE_Log??? 244K??? This is the result of mythfrontend -v

'greedyhdoubleprocessdeint'
That's an unusual configuration. FF/REW might be tipping it over the
edge.
Bear in mind that the remote frontend gets its settings from the
backend's database.
It sounds like BE1 & BE2 have separate databases so the frontend
playback profile may be different in your comparisons.

Compare your settings or the logs of mythfrontend -v playback when
connected to each backend.

BE1 and BE2 are two separate computers, both using whatever
Mythbuntu was current at the time based on Ubuntu 16.04. As for the
logs, will upload to PasteBin shortly -- looks like BE1 (the one
with no FF/REW issues) has a faster response to
"VideoBuffers::DiscardFrames". Also seeing where the wait time for
video buffers is around 100 or so milliseconds on BE1 (the 'good'
Backend) vs. 1000-plus ms on BE2 (the 'sluggish' one. Guessing
that's the pausing I'm seeing but no idea on the next step.<br>
<br>
As for the Wiki page re: Frontend Video configuration, yes -- if the
wrong one will either get an error pop up when trying to watch a
show. Thinking because the pausing occurs with all Frontends
connecting to BE2 there's a similar configuration on it (the
Backend) I have wrong; just not going to randomly try things and
really screw it up!<br>
<br>
...Uploading to <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://pastebin.com/u/Barry_IA">https://pastebin.com/u/Barry_IA</a> in a bit....<br>
<b>BE2</b> is mythfrontend -v playback with the
Frontend connected to BE2 (the sluggish FF/REW one)<br>
<b>BE1</b> is mythfrontend -v playback with the
Frontend connected to BE1 (the 'good' one) but I forgot to update
the audio and video configurations (on the Frontend)<br>
<b>BE1a</b> is mythfrontend -v playback with the
Frontend connected to BE1 after configuring the audio and video.<br>
<br>
(So also realizing my comment the other day about a script or
something to more easily swap between the two Backends is more
complicated that just copying in the two config.xml files.)<br>
<br>
...OK, looks like they're posted. <br>

<pre wrap="">Sub-question: should anything be done with the logs?? The Backend
(BE2) has five mythbackend.log's
(just .log, .log.1, .log.2, .log.3, .log.4). Log is 10 MB, the
numeric's are 11 MB each.? So 54 MB total.? df -h shows I have 53 GB
available, so probably not a concern.? Just read a while back about
someone screwing up their system when overrun by log files.

<pre wrap="">Looks like they're being rotated already so shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks! Looks a lot simpler than something I did <mumble>
years ago with a batch file! (Probably a heck of a lot more
efficient -- if Steve's channel skip routine makes his electric
meter spin my antique batch file would make his meter pop out and
fly! <g>)<br>

It is! And does explain why the two stats weren't jiving.<br>
