I get thousands of the following errors and the video replay of MythTV recorded material visibly drops a lot of video frames.

16:51:25.600 T:140575969855232 WARNING: CRenderManager::WaitForBuffer - timeout waiting for buffer
16:51:25.689 T:140576045389568   ERROR: GetStreamTimes: Add-on 'MythTV (xbmc-3):http://localhost:6544' returned an error: rejected by the backend

About the ERROR GetStreamTimes: The error "REJECTED" occurs calling the function GetStreamTimes when live stream is not spawned. PVR shouldn't  call this while live stream isn't opened successfully (see OpenLiveStream) or the live stream is being closing.
It is not critical but it just show a flow issue.

About WARNING CRenderManager::WaitForBuffer. Probably it needs more data reading ahead of the stream. It is "normal" event in my opinion.

You should see also others errors related a flow issue when closing live stream:

Code:

Here SignalQuality was called while live stream is being closed. It is not critical because the addon rejected the call. So the error can be ignored.

Thanks for your responses Janbar. The errors are not generated when the stream is closing ... they are generated during playing (and closing). But your responses just prompts me to check my HDD as it may be failing (it is 5 years old) ... will run some performance checks on it . Thanks
