Hi,<br>
<br>
I have been trying to diagnose a periodic ~30sec video stutter with my 9400 GT VDPAU normal. I have mythbuntu 9.10 as the mythtv setup. Both backend and frontend are in the same machine. I received help from several in the thread and that improved the situation, but none really eliminated. (I also looked ad mythtv VDPAU wiki/doc and implemented the suggestions) Finally I found the mythfrontend log in /var/log/mythtv and it shows periodic run of mythweather data collection. I removed mythweather and it seems to have solved the problem. However, I want mythweather and other mythtv friend applets. How do I<br>
tell mythfrontend to stop them during the time I am watching HD video?<br>
<br>
BTW, mythweather is no issue when I am watching ripped DVD from another machine! I expect network activity like mythweather data collection to affect this more. But no issue there. So, may be disk access is a problem (I mean both mythweather and HD video is on the same disk. so..) Is there any buffer setting that<br>
can help me (I tried the one in backend-setup already)?<br>
<br>
Would streaming always from backend help even though both are in the same machine? I mean may be this<br>
will allow me to weather small moments of stress when mythweather is running since streaming will use buffers in RAM instead of reading from disk.<br>
