I'm not sure if this is related, but if both users are logged in, the Lion login/user switching screen itself becomes nigh-unusable, possibly requiring multiple forced sleeps to figure itself out.Īt this point I don't know what the problem is, although I have some guesses: Unfortunately what's been happening consistently is that if my admin user is logged in, with a few things running (nothing crazy, Mail, Chrome, iTunes, iPhoto, Terminal, etc.), video becomes unplayable, with whatever app that was doing video playback getting the Rainbow Wheel of Death every few seconds and lasting for several seconds.
#Eyetv leopard install
In upgrading to Lion, I decided to do a clean install onto what had been the DVR drive, while keeping my Snow Leopard install around for a bit. However the problem has also affected DVD, Netflix (Silverlight), iTunes (h.264) and Flash video playback. This was the first place I noticed video problems, so I initially suspected a software incompatibility.

I've used Elgato's EyeTV software as my home DVR for 6 years, with the now-discontinued EyeTV 500, through a wide variety of updates, always without major problems. I'm not sure if this is do to a recent change to my user setup, or Lion, or what. I'm experiencing significant video playback stuttering when there are other users logged in in the background via Fast User Switching.
