[mythtv-users] 2 second delay between songs

[Chris Jensen]

Hi,
I've just installed myth*. It's very cool stuff.
I don't have any tv tuners so i can't use the actual TV part! I have also been 
running the frontend without the backend - there seem to be no problems 
(except for the one below), is there anything that needs the backend other 
than tv recording?
I do have a problem though - myth music pauses for 2 seconds before it starts 
playing a song. It basically hangs during this time, you can't skip, or exit 
out of mythmusic or anything before it plays that song. (after the song 
starts any key strokes that were backed up get executed)

Also I had a couple of suggestions:
I noticed there was discussion on having different modules communicate - what 
would be really nice is if they could run concurrently - eg MythMusic running 
in the background until you press stop, or until you start a DVD or something 
- even better if skip/pause etc still worked, since there's no real reason 
the music needs to stop playing if you want to check the weather or the news.
Another cool example would be if you wanted to watch out for news as it breaks 
(eg if it's a big news day), the news module could overlay new headlines onto 
the TV or Video output as new ones becomes available.

Also, since you've got transcode in the Video module, why not have an option 
to get it to create snapshots to use as the "poster" image when browsing 
videos?

Anyway, thanks for the very nice DVD/video/stereo i now have. Any help with my 
problem would be much appreciated.
