Description
When livetv auto-switches to the next file it calls ringbuffer->OpenFile() which resets the size of the readahead buffer back to the default of 4000KB. This is causing a number of glitches, especially with HD content.

Jim can you test the attached patch and tell me if it fixes the problem for you?
The problem with your patch is that it doesn't handle rate changes between files. The '2552-v1.patch' patch should handle these by querying the decoder for the actual raw bitrate. But I'm not sure if this handles jumping back and forth between two programs in LiveTV correctly.

working good for me.
thanks

(In [11616]) Fixes #2552. Sets the proper bitrate in the RingBuffer after it is reset by an OpenFile.
We add a GetRawBitrate() method to DecoderBase which returns the current estimated bitrate of the video if played at normal speed, and add calls in the NVP which calls RingBuffer::UpdateRawBitrate() with this value shortly after either of the two OpenFile calls in the NVP.
This should resolve some of the issues with prebuffer pauses after a LiveTV program change with HDTV streams on slower frontends.
Better fix..
