[mythtvnz] Cause of occasional audio/video jumps in

[Johan Schuld]

Hi,

I've upgraded to 0.21 about 2 weeks ago as well, and also had playback
issues. I had 2 issues with video playback.

1: The OSD was really crappy or
2: Stuttering/Jumping of playback.

In the mythfrontend setup, go to TV Settings and playback. in 0.21 there is
are some new fields for the playback profile. From what I can see, you can
use different settings (or players) depending on the resolution of the
material you want to play. I've played around with these but could not get a
good result. What I did in the end is create a new profile, and with only
one entry which covers all resolutions. No problems anymore since then.

Sadly I can't give you the exact settings, as yesterday my HD decided it had
enough and now only makes "krrr.... krrr... " noises.

Cheers,
Johan.

I haven't actually looked at this issue at all or tried to fix anything
as it hasn't really been bothering me too much.
