Got up this morning and turned the Pi on and it's lost half my TV channels. It goes straight from BBC One to BBC Four now.
I've tried resetting the EPG, resetting the PVR, checked in the Web GUI and all the channels are still listed there correctly, so I haven't got a clue what's going on!
OK, I seem to have got them back by disabling Skip Initial Scan, Skip Service Availability Check, enabling Idle Scanning and saving and then toggling all those settings back once it had finished scanning all the muxes. Still don't really understand why the channel list in the Web GUI wouldn't be reflected in XBMC though.

I've only tried two of the recent builds, MilhouseVH's December 29th build and sraue's build.
Each "WARNING: CRenderManager::WaitForBuffer - timeout waiting for buffer" is accompanied by an audio drop of maybe 1 second?

This is a new file for me, so I haven't tried it on the older builds.
It doesn't seem to be playing nice with OpenELEC-RPi.arm-Rbej-Version-Gotham-Branch(02.10.2013) either. Though I'm not seeing that "WARNING: CRenderManager" message on that build.
I'm downloading the 3.2.4 image right now, so I'll see if it works there.
Edit: Alright, it might be hardware related. It's only an issue on my 512mb rPi, my 256mb doesn't show the same symptoms. The 512 still has the problem with the Official 3.2.4 "Frodo".

Tested the new build that sraue posted today and it seems to work well for me. Browsing the library and fanart speed all seem to be very good overall. My only issue currently is that it takes 15 seconds to get into the movie library from the time I press Movies until the library page actually shows up. It only happens with the movie library. TV and music come up within about 2 seconds. Doesn't seem to matter which skin I use (default, Amber, etc.).
Are there any optimizations I can do that should make that happen more quickly? I have used the texture cache utility to cache my thumbnails and done some overclocking, but I am not sure if there are some other things that might speed that up. I have had this same issue with a lot of the previous Milhouse builds as well, so this isn't new. (I actually used to have this same issue on my non-raspberrypi hardware running openelec, however it went away somewhere around the 2.95 or 3.0 releases.)

@extension23: If you've been testing my builds then they have all available performance patches - if you're getting slow performance with those builds then I would suspect your storage/io as the problem. Not sure if the sraue build has all of the newclock3 performance patches.
Texture Cache Maintenance Utility: Preload your texture cache for optimal UI performance. Remotely manage media libraries. Purge unused artwork to free up space. Find missing media. Configurable QA check to highlight metadata issues. Aid in diagnosis of library and cache related problems.

The only slow performance is just when I first try to go in the movie library from the main menu. That takes about 15 seconds from when you click the movies option until you actually get into the library. Everything else performs just great. It only happens with movies. TV and music both go into the library within about 2 sec. I don't think it is a storage issue.
