I have read bits of this thread, not all of it. However I seem to recall similar problems a while back being solved by fixing the audio - ie it was an audio problem. When the audio driver/hardware couldn't keep up the system would freeze momentarily while something caught up. Sorry thats not very technical, but hopefully you get the picture. Can i suggest that you do a little trouble shooting instead of all this complaining? I am not trying to criticise you, sometimes people don't know how to help theselves. Seeing glitches in a playback is not a description a software author can diagnose without more information. Can i suggest that you run mythfrontend from an xterm with logging turned on. Watch for errors like audio overrun. If they seem to coincide with glitches in viewing take careful note. Of course mythfrontend usually runs fuull screen and obscures the xterm with the logging info. Personally I ssh in from another machine, then set DISPLAY: export DISPLAY=:0 then run mythfrontend from the command line from the other machine. The logging info appears on the machine you are sitting at, the mythfrontend complete with glitches runs on the other machine. Watch for the error messages as the glitches happen. > -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
