Since some upgrades to something, what is now occurring is that while I am watching (digital) TV using either Xine or Kaffeine and also have Firefox running on anothere Desktop (with a couple or three tabs 'open'), the TV picture freezes, stutters, shakes, "rattles".
I agree with Carlos' suggestion of monitoring CPU usage.
It might also be worth turning off Javascript and/or Flash in Firefox and see if the problem is still there.
Curiously, I had a similar problem in 10.3; now I have 11.0 but I still haven't tested this: when watching an .avi movie in xine the sound would stop for a second or two (not the video) when firefox was busy auto-updating a page with javascript.
He has the opposite problem, sound stopping. And it is affecting typing ans such, too.
Just remembered that I should have included this info in my earlier post: I have set the buffers as per the suggestions in the xine documentation for best performance namely, AUDIO = 400 buffers and VIDEO = 800 buffers (see xine Settings/Setup/Engine) -- I have enough RAM to be able to do this and, as I already stated, this has served me well over the past years. [Kaffeine also uses the xine engine, BTW.] Ciao -- It's not possible to operate honestly using a basis of dishonesty. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
