<div>I recently upgraded to mythtv 0.26. Everything works fine, except for</div><div>some videos which have very bad stuttering. These videos play fine on</div><div>0.25. I've also checked mplayer, which plays them very smoothly as</div>
<div>well. I have an nvidia ION card and I'm using the "vdpau normal"</div><div>profile, but I've been through the others (OpenGL, etc) and the</div><div>problem is always the same on myth 0.26.</div><div>
<br></div><div>I used the video playback test under the Setup Wizard in the frontend.</div><div>SD is ok, but the HD test gets stutter. I've noticed that the log gets</div><div>filled with these on videos experiencing stutter (and this includes</div>
<div>the HD test):</div><div>"CoreContext mythplayer.cpp:2095 (PrebufferEnoughFrames)"</div><div><br></div><div>I've set the nvidia powermizer to max performance, updated to the 304</div><div>nvidia driver, turned off CPU scaling - none of which have made any</div>
<div>difference.</div><div><br></div><div>My setup is:</div><div>- Zotac Mag - Atom 330 CPU</div><div>- ION nvidia graphics</div><div>- Mythbuntu 12.04</div><div>- Mythtv 0.26</div><div><br></div><div>I'm at a bit of a loss where to go from here. I'm thinking *something*</div>
<div>has been changed in the internal player between 0.25 and 0.26 to cause</div><div>this issue, but have no idea what.</div><div><br></div><div>For reference, here is the results from qvdpau test:</div><div>**************************</div>
