Dunno if this is happening to anyone else, but when i select an episode to play with my-tvseries, it plays the audio for a few seconds but the video starts then freezes.... then a few seconds later it all catches up and is fine. I am using the Spinsafe Revolve skin with the svn build of the my-tvseries plugin with RC1. I have tried numerous codecs, and get the same result every time. If i play an episode through my videos, its fine. Any thoughts?

I am seeing this too.
Sometimes the video will play in a small window in the corner before going to full screen as well.
Othertimes the video will start to play with audio and fill about 75% of the screen for a couple of seconds before going full screen.
As Bobb25 states the same video playes fine when using myVideos.
Cannot pin point exactly when this started happening, I think I was always using the SVN of MyTVseries dated 15/5/07 but the video issue started happening when I switched the Media Portal SVN from 15/05/07 to 10/6/07 to fix an issue with MyTrailers.
The issue also co-incided with when I configured my server to power save mode to spin down drives not being used, so I just figured the slow response spin up time was a factor.
I am in the process of refreshing my install today, so will report if it is still happening with the latest builds.

No longer freezes with latest 0.2.3 RC1 version for me.

Still does it for me under 0.2.3 RC1. Codec i am currently running is Nvidia Purevideo codec, however i have tried numerous others and its the same. Could be something to do with sheer size of my database? I have about 8000 tv eps indexed using my-tvseries accross a gigabit lan from my server's shared folders.

Hehe, mine starts off freezed in fullscreen for like 5 secs.
Never seen anything else. Not sure when this started either.
Thats exactly what mine does... every time. The same file plays fine in My Video's though. Lol. Its only really a bitch when i am watching numb3rs and i want to see that first part with the numbers flicking like 1000 deaths, 100 000 dollars etc etc so i can see what the episode is about
