Immediately after upgrading from 0.25-fixes to 0.26-fixes, playback of any h.264 recordings from the HD-PVR are unwatchable with the video stuttering badly. This involves playback of recordings made both prior to the upgrade and after the upgrade. The best way to describe it is extremely jittery playback, where frames freeze and skip constantly. Occasionally (5-10% of the time?) I can start the recording, exit a recording, and start the recording again at the bookmark and it'll start to play fine - but it takes a lot of tries usually for a successfully playback, if it will ever even do so. All of my QAM MPEG2 recordings playback successfully. I've tried using VDPAU and OpenGL, with the same impact. Since ~50% of my recordings come from my HD-PVR, this has made mythtv unusable. My theory (and John Poet's as well) is that the last ffmpeg sync is less robust in handling content from the hd-pvr. Logs to come shortly. Please let me know if there's anything else I can provide."
