Prebuffering pauses occur when the process of getting the frame data, and
decoding the frames can't keep up with real time. To diagnose this you're
going to need to provide more information:

What are your machine specs?
What are your encoding settings?
Are mythbackend and mythfrontend running on the same machine? If not what
sort of network connection are you using?
Do you see the same behavior when watching pre-recorded shows, or just with
live tv?
