Thanks Greg. I had not looked at deinterlacing, and it turns out that disabling deinterlacing on my system stops this problem from occurring, so it's the same as you reported. Looks like this problem is known and being investigated. cheers Andrew ___ myt

[mythtv] Pause and unpause causes 3x CPU load + video stutter

2006-01-20 Thread Andrew Wilson
I've found an odd problem in recent svn code Normal playback of any DVB-T recording using VIA XvMC and Bob deinterlacing works fine with mythfrontend showing ~15% load. Now, if I pause and then unpause, the load jumps up to ~50% and there is noticeable flickery stuttering in the video. If I save

I don't think it's losing focus. I'm not running a window manager, there's just X and mythfrontend. I've not tried native lirc support - as a workaround it's less effort just to restart mythfrontend, and it's not a big problem as I don't go into setup very often. Are there any debug flags I can
