While I don't know much about how myth works internally as I've only been using it for about 6 weeks, I can offer the following observations on this problem;
1. These Prebuffering pause loops occur for me on both live TV and while watching recordings. 2. I can often break the loops by pausing (sometimes on and off a couple of times) or skipping forward or back. Pausing seems to enable and disable DPMS. I tried disabling DPMS in X but this had no noticable affect. So./// 3. Playing with the ring buffer size (making it larger) seems to make it easier for me to break out of the loops when they occur. using 2. 4. once, after playing with the pause technique, the output changed to "bad stream" Exiting what I was watching and immediatly re-entering (without restarting myth) brought the stream back. FYI: I sometimes get the bad stream stuff when changing channels as well same exit and re-enter works there to.
