Just so you have another point of reference... I get stuttering on the HDTV video too. I haven't had any success with AC3 yet, but I haven't tried very hard. So my testing is based on Seven HD, which has the MPEG stream too. And yes, it is a lower bitrate than Nine or Ten, but they crap out on me at the moment because of the AC3.
It seems to stutter (~50% of the time) if I *change* to an HD channel. If I start on the HD channel, it works fine. If I record HD and start watching the recording straight away, it works fine too. I thought about pausing the stream for a short while to see if the stutter would go away, but that doesn't work. So what is it about a channel change? I'm having a look at Mark Anderson's patch now to see what makes it tick. Should I be able to get this working with software AC3 decoding? Other than that, the 3.5 patch works really well.

I'm still not sure why though... Stuttering is not very obvious, could be my system setup, will investigate more later. for HDTV channels, sometimes I gets video stutters, and sometimes I don't..

Will test more tonight. Regards. _______________________________________________ mythtv-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-dev
