Some Recordings cannot skip forward or backward

[whurlston]

I just ran a test with ffmpeg and was able to fix one of my bad recordings with the following command (adjust as needed):

Code:

[PATH_TO]\ffmpeg.exe -i "[BAD_FILENAME]" -f mpegts -vcodec copy -acodec copy "[GOOD_FILENAME]"

This will not alter the video/audio, only remux the container.

thanks guys. i don't know why the listings plugin shows active, i am disabling it and it does not show on the menu. i am certain that would not have to do with it. it does change from codec to codec. this particular video won't skip on any of them. the microsoft one works best for me also less processor usage. it will skip forward and back in media player and xbmc. i just installed the new amd beta drivers and will let this go for now and see how often the problem comes up. i did three recordings yesterday, they all were good. thanks for the help i appreciate it. i did not realize that on my system using a hdhomerun dual tuner, the codec that is used is the mpeg2, i had been switching around the 264 codec. i have available ati, microsoft, ffdshow, and lav. the lav and microsoft use 15 per cent less cpu. the lav will hardly allow a skip in any video. the ms codec works on all but a few recordings. it is not big deal for me i will just view them in xbmc. but obviously xbmc is doing something different with their player. thanks again.
