Thanks. The internal player was choppy, froze up at times, and<br>
displayed visual artifacts that mplayer does not ... so maybe it<br>
doesn't make sense for me to upgrade mythtv until I test it or<br>
otherwise get some information that the internal video player is doing<br>
better.<br>
<br>
Is this other peoples experience with the internal player as well?<br></blockquote></div><br><br>Which version? I'm on .22-fixes right now and it works pretty well. I do wish I could tune it a bit more, as I can't find a way to increase the read buffer size, for example. I haven't tried .23 yet. Older versions were not working well for me at all, but the devs seem to have fixed the worst problems. <br>
<br>I really wish they would consider leaving external players available as an option for those that use them though. It seems odd to take the functionality away with the exception that SGs don't work with external players. <br>
