I've tweaked enough that about half of the HD recording play without prebuffer pauses. However, my test case is Fifth Element and I still get a number of pre-buffer pauses.
<br><br>You indicated that you scale all of your output to 720p. How do you do that? Do you transcode? Or is the scaling done during playback?<br><br>I'm hoping that this might be the final tweak that lets me play all my HD recording with a borderline frontend.
<br><br>Thanks in advance.<br><br>Tom<br><br><br>
