Also, on my iBook (1.2ghz + 1g RAM), MythTV runs 60%+ and spikes much higher. Firefox sucks up a lot of CPU, so I have an especially hard time watching TV and browsing concurrently. In my experience, the OSX sheduler isn't even in the same league as the one my Linux box. When I have all the various processes reniced to give MythTV the highest priority, it still stutters when I do something else. Compare that to my Linux box which I can be doing 10 things at once and it NEVER skips.
MythTV on Linux is bleeding edge. MythTV on OSX is bleeding edge of a bleeding edge. I expect it to improve over time. ;)

Hello
I am having problems streaming video from my backend server to a MacOS X frontend on a wireless network.
I have a FC2 machine running a combination frontend/backend with the 0.16 distribution from atrpms on a machine that is connected to my TV. I can also hook my Mac up to Ethernet and use it as a frontend, but if I try using the Mac on my wireless network, the video stops after a few minutes and the frontend goes back to the MythTV menus. I would suspect that the wireless network isn't handling the load, but when I try downloading episodes through MythWeb, I can download a 30 minute nuv file in 7 minutes (2.4 Mb/s), so I should have enough bandwidth, right? It seems that a lot of people on this list are using wireless frontends without problems. Is is perhaps a bug in the Mac client?
In the console log on the Mac frontend: 2005-01-08 19:28:36 Using protocol version 13 2005-01-08 19:28:40 Changing from None to WatchingRecording 2005-01-08 19:31:24 RemoteFile::Read() failed in RingBuffer::safe_read(). 2005-01-08 19:31:27 Changing from WatchingRecording to None 2005-01-08 19:31:27 Changing from None to None Waiting for data: 7232 13647
