[mythtv-users] Trouble with HD Playback

[David Brieck Jr.]

The problem I'm having is that the video playback seems to "freeze"
every 5 seconds or so while the audio keeps going without a problem.
It is only for what seems to be a millisecond or some very short
amount of time.

My HD capable frontend has only been running for a little over 1.5
months and it at one point worked without a problem.

It's a Core 2 Duo 2 Ghz, 1 GB RAM, Nvidia 6200TC 256MB. It's driving
at 720p via a DVI to HDMI cable.  I do have 'Option "UseEvents"
"True"' in my xorg.config. I have also turned on Sync to VBlank in
addition to checking the option in the frontend for opengl Vsync.

CPU usage is pretty low, as in under 30% on my frontend.

There are no problems with SD content, only my HD. I'm not using XvMC
as it seems not a processor limitation as it is something else. I'm
using Ubuntu Feisty if that matters to anyone.

Any ideas what I can do to fix this? It's really odd that it worked
fine for awhile then stopped, most likely after a reboot or something,
but I think I have all the preferred setting so I'm at a loss.

Thanks,

Dave
