HD Playback Stops and Starts #76

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
This is going to be a tough issue because it's difficult to replicate, but it's 
definitely a recurring issue. Playback of HD Eyetv recordings sometimes stop 
and start, or just stop. Hitting pause, waiting a few seconds, or jump back a 
few seconds, then hitting play can fix it. Or Sometimes playback just freezes 
and one must return to Frontrow to start again. It's an infrequent problem, but 
occurs often enough and is annoying enough to motivate using plain Eyetv 
playback.

In contrast, I haven't observed this behavior with HD playback directed from 
Eyetv. There is plenty of memory -- this happens on a Mac Mini with 8 GB RAM, 
and plenty of free memory showing.

This appears to be some sort of buffering issue, though I'm not sure. Any 
troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. HD Eyetv
2. HD Playback
3. Watch long enough and the problem
