Hi,
I'm in the process of migrating to XBMC and MythTV from SageTV. My MythTV back-end is running in Fedora 20, while the XBMC front-end is running on a Minix Neo X8-H, connected via a gigabit cabled network. MythTV is recording using an HD-PVR connected to a digital cable box.
So far everything is going pretty well, with one caveat: Live TV playback gives a *lot* of video artifacts/tearing/stuttering. However, if I rewind a few seconds while it's playing live, then hit play again, all the artifacts disappear and playback is perfect. Likewise, if I stop the live TV playback, then navigate to the video folder and play the mpeg file created during the live recording "offline," it doesn't stutter at all.
So, the recording itself is ok; the problem appears to simply be playing the TV video stream "live" vs. seconds (or more) after it's been recorded.
Any thoughts on the cause or how to remedy the behavior?
Thanks!
