Why video is freezing?

[ardian]

Since V5 I have had a hard time with freezing video.  Have tried various decoders.  Tablet and LAV work fairly well if I don't try to skip around a lot.  The automatic commercial skip with comskip works well 99% of the time, but if I skip around like trying to skip stories in the news half the time the video will freeze and the audio will continue for a while and then stop.  Sometimes I can get it to restart by fffwd and rev a few times, but then it may have skipped ahead several minutes.  Sometimes I need to stop and restart the playback. ffdshow decoder: as soon as I hit play the program exits.  Arcsoft and Microsoft decoders:  Hit play and nothing happens.  Seems to think it is playing since keys have no effect unless I hit stop, then it exits play and says the show has been watched to the end and do you want to delete it.  Main concept decoder:  No closed captions.  SRT closed caption file is detected but if you select it no closed captions are displayed with any decoder.  I am using the NEXTPVR Client.  If I just let the show play 99% or better of the time it plays fine.  I had one exception where the NextPVR playback would freeze at a certain point, but using three other programs there was just a disturbance there.  Unfortunately, in playing with it a lot I accidentally erased it.  Read More

Post the logs and I'll see if anything stands out. Generally I use the LAV decoders these days.

I had one exception where the NextPVR playback would freeze at a certain point, but using three other programs there was just a disturbance there.  Unfortunately, in playing with it a lot I accidentally erased it.

Yeah, it would have been useful to get a copy of that recording to try it here.
