[mythtv-users] Is backend involved when watching a recording.

[Ramasubramanian Ramesh]

I am trying to troubleshoot  occasional hiccup/stutter while watching 
recorded shows. I tried looking for potential problem in frontend log 
and found that mythweather fired everytime there was a stutter. I 
removed mythweather and the situation improved, but the trouble did not 
go away. Frontend log shows nothing meaningful for the occasional 
stutter now. Thus I am interested in finding out if backend has any 
influence on the frontend if both are in the same box when I am watching 
recorded shows.  I have standard mythbuntu 9.04 install with mythtv 0.22.
I do not watch when a recording or mycommflag is active.

My hardware is Athlon (socket 939, 2G) with  9400GT+VDPAU normal. I have 
disabled cpufreq and have done every optimization mythtv twiki 
recommends. When the hickups happen, the load on the system < 25%.

I do not get this when watching videos (but videos (DVD contents) are 
not HD )

Is the buffer size setup (I think backend)  important for replaying 
recorded shows?
