I'll probably jinx myself by saying this but with #1009 I haven't seen the problem I've been having with my tuners disappearing from tvheadend, so maybe there were some fixes to power saving issues or something that might have been causing that?

I have been seeing glitches which look like frames being skipped, making movement appear jumpy, with quite low resolution/bitrate AVC files though. Some of these seem to be due to poor encoding and repeat if I replay and also happen playing the files with VLC on my PC but others seem to be caused by OE and don't repeat when I replay the section. The overlay tends to show something like "drop:0 skip:5 pc:1" in total when watching the video but most of those seem to happen near the start, as after just a few seconds it might show "skip:3 pc:1" so these stats don't reflect the issues I notice and don't tend to have increased when I check after noticing them.

I've noticed that the err stat on the 2nd line of the overlay is about +/-10ms in most cases with these files, although sometimes nearer 20ms but if I skip this jumps to around 75ms and then slowly decreases over time, so it appears this does not reset when jumping through the file and continues to calculate an average.

Also aq is locked at a solid 99% whilst vq (video quality?) constantly fluctuates between 95-99% but if I skip backwards or forwards sometimes this drops to 91-95% or even 87-91%.
