I've been having a problem for a while (but only since switching to
.17), where occasionally, partway through recording something, it will
suddenly slow down -- the video slows to about 70% normal speed, and
the audio drops in pitch accordingly. It doesn't happen all the time,
and I cannot reproduce it, nor do I have any idea as to what causes it.
I know that the problem is during recording, because if I export the
.nuv to another format, the problem remains. Has anybody else had this
problem?


I am having either the same problem as you or something similar (also
happened since 0.17) - part way through a recording, quite randomly, sound
drops out totally and video slows right down. Eventually (perhaps 5-10
minutes) it speeds up again, but audio doesn't come back - it's very
frustrating.


That's exactly the same problem I'm having Philip. I'm in Australia and it's only occurring on 3 channels (9, 7 and 10), but doesn't happen on 2 or SBS.

Are you using dvb? For me, when this happens, the mpeg stream goes bad for
a second or two (as if I've got a low signal, but I don't think I do),
audio then cuts out and video goes slow. It seems to happen quite
randomly, and has happened when I've been watching live tv - I changed
channels, changed back and it was fine again.


I am using dvb (two Twinhan DST cards), and it does seem to happen when I get poor signal for a second or two (either due to signal problems or the back-end not keeping up with error correction). I haven't noticed it while watching live tv, but I don't use the box to watch live tv.

I have done some testing today and have noticed this occurring on Live TV as well. When I view the mythfrontend output, I always get "prebuffering pause" or "decoding error" in the log just when it happens. It seems to happen less when I turn extra sound buffering OFF.
