Cannot skip forward/backward after about 3 minutes into a recording made on HDHR

Torque · 2012-02-08, 03:03 AM

When trying to watch a show recorded using my HDHomeRun, I can skip forward/back during about the first 3 or so minutes of the recording. Anywhere past that, if I try to skip forward, the screen goes black and I notice the HDD activity go up dramatically. Eventually it kicks me back to the recordings menu after about a minute. I have been able to watch the recordings from start to end if I don't try to skip forward so it seems the data is there. Previous recordings made using GBPVR from the HDHR work fine so I don't believe this is a decoder issue. I don't have any problem with skipping forward/backward on the recordings from the PVR150. I notice this also happens with Live TV timeshifted on the HDHR. If I skip back more than 3 minutes it plays fine but once i try to skip forward, screen goes back and I'm kicked out.

I have logs in this thread:

Have you checked for network packet loss? See second post @ http://www.silicondust.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5877

I see this sometimes on dvb-c recordings too, both on in-progeess recordings and on paused live-tv.

I ran the low level test. It was displaying just dots for about 20 minutes then I saw a couple 'S'. I killed it after about 30 minutes and it gave a summary. 3 sequence errors, 0's for everthing else. I loaded up the HDHR setup and it prompted to install an update to the HDHR. A new 2012 firmware was installed and I believe updated BDA drivers and .NET

I didn't run the test again but did try watching Live TV in NPVR and was able to skip forward and back in the timeshifted recording for 15-20 minutes so this has me hopeful.

Tonite's recording will be the true test.

Found this on SD's forums about the Sequence Errors:

Just to update this topic. Flashing the firmware and updating the BDA drivers to the latest fixed the issue I was having.
