Hi mythtv users,<br><br>I ran into difficulty last night trying to play an mkv movie file under mythvideo.<br><br>I have a zotac ION frontend (dual core) and a gigabit network between it and my backend.<br><br>Things have been working fairly smoothly for quite a while now, but this clip just won't play nice.<br>
I can confirm that it plays fine from windows using VLC on my desktop. The clip has a res of 1280x692 (from memory) and when it is played on the frontend, it stutters very badly - completely unwatchable.<br><br>top reported CPU usage at 114% for mythfrontend when trying to play this clip.<br>
<br>The mythfrontend log contains the following (see at end of post)<br><br>I have no issue playing any other HD content (720P and 1080i) from free to air (DVB-T) over the same equipment.<br><br>Any thoughts on this? I can supply a video sample if some one would like to test this on their setup (what is the best way of chopping a sample of the video to make it available?)<br>
</blockquote><div><br>Sorry should have added that I am running trunk from JY Avenard's repo on mythbuntu karmic.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
