Comment (by Peter Bennett <pgbennett@…>):

 The problem is caused by a timeout value too small. If the system waits
 more than 5 ms for a buffer for the next video packet, the packet is being
 dropped. The wait time will depend on decoder internals, the frame speed
 and how long it is until the next frame will be displayed. We do not want
 to drop packets in this situation. I set the timeout to 10000 so that in
 the event of a real decoder problem it will free up after 10 seconds. I
 also updated the message displayed to General, Error so that it will show
 in the log when default logging settings are used.
