MythDVD playback chunks out

Description

I'm currently running SVN 15728, however, I have had this issue for a long time (years) and I've never had it be as repeatable as it is on Lord of the Rings, Return of the King.

When playing a DVD back using MythDVD the playback becomes choppy and sometimes even cause the audio to cut out. The problems appear to happen on the chapter breaks though I'm not fully convinced that it's only at chapter breaks. This happens almost randomly on some DVDs but it's definitely a problem in the MythDVD software because I have no issues like this using Xine. See this link for an example of what it looks like (17MB wmv):

Also, the following is a "mythfrontend -v playback" log showing what the frontend is doing when the chunking happens.

attach the "-v playback,audio,timestamp" debug output of the affected section highlighted in the previous logs. gzip the output since this is alot of data.

I tried the second patch on SVN 16148 and it made the playback around the broken section a little worse. Here's the resulting log file (437kb): http://www.spartanframeworks.com/Spikey/mythdvd_error3.txt.gz

Could you update to latest trunk or 0.21-fixes and let us know if the problem still exists.

comment:9 Changed 16 years ago by Greg Grotsky <spikeygg@…>

I have updated to SVN 16517 and the problem persists, exactly the same as in my first video. I have captured a log of the result but I cannot upload it now due to server problems. If you would like to see it I can email it directly to you (335k), let me know.

greg. no need for any more logs. I found a dvd that reproduces the issue more times then the lord of the rings. problem here is that after some cell changes, the audio timestamp resets to 0 before the video timestamp. avsync code takes a while to restore sync causing the "chunking out" effect.

working on a solution.
