[mythtv] Stuttering on live tv

[Dennis Gustafson]

Hi,

I recently upgraded from a very old version of mythtv ( both OS and 
mythtv ) and now have a stutter only on play back of live tv.

When I play live tv, the playback is not smooth until I pause and then 
un-pause the video.   From what I can tell the buffer is at 0% when this 
happens, until I pause the frontend.  Thus allowing the backend to get 
ahead of the playback.

As a test, I have added a 2s delay before the frontend starts play back 
which completely resolves the issue (buffer at ~10%+).  I hooked it in 
to the disable screensaver code (screensaver-x11.cpp),   I'm looking for 
a "better" place to put the delay, as it only needs to be delayed on the 
playback of livetv and not every time the screensaver is disabled.

Is there any setting I am missing that would eliminate the need to do 
this?  Maybe a hidden tune-able somewhere?   If not, any suggestions on 
the best place to insert a delay when starting just live TV?

Thanks,
Dennis
