It sounds like it's the commercial flagger causing it. It's the only

Good theory but I'm not flagging any commercials. Commercial flagging is useless in the UK so I don't use it at all.


I'm using an svn checkout from a few months back and get the same black
screen stuttering problem. I get it when playing back recordings. People
pointed me towards the mpeg decoder last time I asked, but I couldn't
get to the bottom of what was causing it.


It also happens to me using an absolutely ancient CVS version from before we moved to SVN. It only started to happen "recently" though, ie a few months back or less. It's also more common on some channels than on others, in particular "Lost" causes it whenever there is a major scene change

My suspicioun is that there is something iffy going on with the way they cut the scenes, perhaps changing timestamps? Haven't had any time to even do basic debugging on it though

try increasing the buffers from 31 to something larger say 63 in videoout_xv.cpp search for 31 it could be that there is a delay in the audio stream and setting audio sync to 2 secs may be good. if you can dump the stream with tcscan for the first 100 timestamps that may give a clue too.
