[Freevo-users] Mplayer has the hiccups...
Hi, I'm running into this strange problem that I'm not able to solve. Whenever I watch a certain real video stream via freevo/mplayer the video stutters and it looks like it's skipping frames every 2 seconds or so. Audio is fine and CPU usage is around 75%. Mplayer gets called by Freevo the following way: app=/usr/bin/mplayer -autosync 100 -nolirc -autoq 100 -screenw 800 -screenh 600 -fs -slave -ao alsa -v -vo xv,sdl,x11 -cache 2048 rtsp://63.236.6.228:554/ondemand/7/1927/11457/v10092005/swissinfo.download.akamai.com/11457/sfdrs/ts/TS_09102005-450k.rm -vf pp=de, poll=-1 Now the strange thing is if I run exactly the same command outside of Freevo (with Freevo still running in the back), everything is just fine and the video runs smoothly. I also tried to disable audio and bumping mplayers priority (renice to -20) when running it through Freevo but that didn't make a difference. Any ideas?

Are you using those Mini-itx boxes? and are you using the unichrome graphics with xxmc? if yes, perhaps you want to try [snip from unichrome mail list ] video.device.xvmc_more_frames:1 in your ~/.xine/config file. Which should make the xxmc module buffer 15 frames instead of 8, just like the Xv module. Should even make mpeg2 playback smoother, but it then consumes more frame-buffer memory.
