[mythtv-users] I must be cursed with stuttering problems

[john roberts]

Well - many of you many have been reading my posts over the months on my HDTV stuttering issues while watching 1080i content.  Well I'm glad to say I've work through those issues! :)

So I thought I would try creating my first frontend (other then the front/backend main myth box).  So I built a frontend using:

- P3 1G
- 256M
- MX440
- DVD Player
- 0.16 (GA or some CVS version - I forget now)
- Latest nVidia drivers
- 100Mbps connection between it and the backend (switch between them)

Thinking that I was a "pro" at this myth stuff by now I thought this was going to be an easy install :)

Well - it wasn't.  Sure - the install was easy and everything is loading fine/etc.  But live-tv playback is stuttering every 2 sec's or so.  I've fussed with the XF86Config.conf (xorg.conf in my case) until I'm blue in the face - no luck.  I've changed the AGP settings to anything/everything - no change in the stuttering.

Here is the output of --verbose playback - I hope someone has an idea of what could be the issue here... thanks everyone!
