I had a slight hiccup today during watching a HD show and this appeared
in the remote mythfrontend log at that time:

2013-03-10 16:21:38.855096 I  Player(0): Waiting for video buffers...
2013-03-10 16:21:38.956733 N  Player(0): Waited 101ms for video buffers

It was not reproducible later at the same position in the recording.

So, I was thinking, when mythbackend is recording 2 or 3 shows, which
also means writing the seek table AFAIK etc., or if it is rescheduling,
maybe it cannot always deliver the stream at full speed.

And NFS, being a system service, probably has higher priority.
