I've been using this script in a cron job for the last week, but I'm still seeing glitching. Its mostly occurring at the start of a show and then clears up in the middle. Is it possible that I might need to use a faster processor or bump up my RAM? Right now I'm running an Athlon XP 2400+ with 1G of RAM. Thanks in advance for the help.
