I have been following several of the threads on this list (and the commit list) that have talked about "stuttering" during playback. </blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>I get this too. I notice that it will always stutter in between programmes such as when the news is about to start - almost without fail. This leads me to think that it must be recording related as one programme ends and new one starts. </div>
<div><br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>IIRC, there have been numerous complaints about pauses/stuttering while watching recordings when other recordings started/stopped. This is really starting to look like disk contention where the recording being watched is not buffering enough to get through the (perfect storm?) disruption. I haven't studied the code that much, but I believe this is what is called the "Ring Buffer"? I have seen several commits regarding the size of it, and I was asked (by Taylor Ralph) to apply a patch that affected how the size was determined.</div>
