Yea I am switched over to atv(linux) now, and looking around I did finally find some ways to do it but everyone seems to recommend staying at 720p which I am ok with.

Another issue I am noticing is that when I pause playback on anything with h264, when I resume, 90% of the time my network video and or audio buffer won't come back for a while or at all sometimes. That never use to happen on my mini, is there known issue for that? The only way I can seem to get it fixed is to stop the video entirely and start it again.

And davilla thanks for being such a great help and resource for all of my questions

Do you have NAS systems that sleep or spin down their drives ?

No, its streaming from a gigabit switch thats pulling the data of a Raid5 array running on a 2008 r2 server (not under load by any means), I am watching the debug log now for it, is there anything I should be looking for specifically?

I start to get a lot of these type of errors after it resumes

bring up the decoder OSD, see what aq, vq and a/v are doing.

bring up the decoder OSD, see what aq, vq and a/v are doing.

aq: 0-1% for a few minutes then hits around 99% and vq starts dropping rapidly and levels out around 1-2%

a/v started out around 4 and has climbed to 17ish in a matter of a few minutes

CPU is under 30% and fps is around 10

and the log still shows a ton of

aq or vq dropping to zero is bad, those are the demuxer queue buffers.
a/v should be 0.0xx.

Do a single FF.

Seems to break it even more, it shows me buffering up to 100% from the confluence skin and then just resumes doing the same jittery playback. The a/q and v/q climbed back up and stabilized but a/v was at 50 and still climbing

Humm, not a clue. Does not happen on any of my chd boxes.

You have a swap file ?

[goldfinger7476]

Hmm alright, well i will try and stream it from a different source and see if it makes a difference

[goldfinger7476]

So I tried it from two different computers streaming and then I copied over a mkv directly to the hard drive and it does the same thing (after pausing), the log just spams

as the fps drops and the buffers go crazy and the a/v starts to climb

Oh and yea I do have a swap file and when I check it with 'swapon -s' I can see that it is most definitely being used.

"crystalhd 0000:02:00.0: FETCH TIMEOUT" when doing playback. I'm seeing this too, it's an unknown regression in the 3.6.0 driver/lib with bcm70012 cards. A single FF will re-sync.

Well there is a log that only has the relevant data in it. The first highlight is where I resumed playback and the problem started. I then did a dingle ff (the next highlight) and the problem continued.

One thing I have noticed is that if it does let me pause and resume, the I see the line below shortly after the resume

21:46:48 T:2787113872 M: 41041920 DEBUG: CPullupCorrection: detected pattern of length 24: 42000.00 42000.00 41000.00 42000.00 42000.00 41000.00 42000.00 42000.00 42000.00 41000.00 42000.00 42000.00 41000.00 42000.00 42000.00 42000.00 41000.00 42000.00 42000.00 41000.00 42000.00 42000.00 42000.00 41000.00

But if it starts dropping fps and getting all messed up then I never that again
