Hi,

I'm trying to play some XVID avi files on my MVP with the latest version of GBPVR.

I always record the programs in mpeg, edit out the adverts, then convert to xvid.

All of my avi's play fine, with the exception of one series, and I cannot understand why?

The avi's start to play, go in between 10 seconds and about 40 seconds, and then returns to the menu. As this doesnt happen with the others, I'm trying to work out what is causing this behavior.

I dont think it's a problem with trans2mp, as if I pause it before it returns to the menu, trans2mvp happily keeps transcoding and the file grows fine.

I dont think it's a problem with the output file, because if I pause it and allow trans2mvp to keep transcoding to it's temporary file - make a copy of the file before it's deleted, and then try to play it directly, the MVP plays it no problems past the points it normally exits out on.

As far as I can understand, for no reason, it decides to stop playing the perfectly fine and perfectly generated transcode mpg, and I cant seem to find out why

I've tried to include some logs in case it helps

Hmm, after a little more investigation, I have to conclude that GBPVR itself is doing something weird.

I tried to do the process manually, I ran trans2mvp from the commandline with the same command, then navigated to the file and played it manually through the MVP, with trans2mvp still transcoding.

The file played no problems and seemed fine - isn't this virtually what GBPVR itself does anyway?

Still not sure why GBPVR cant do it normally when I just try to play the file directly.

Both your description, and you logs, are telling me your machine is not managing to transcode faster than real time. The transcode is progressing fine, but the playback reaches the end of the file and returns to the menu.

Maybe these recordings have a higher bitrate, or lots of action, which is causing the transcoding to take longer than other files.

Thanks for the suggestion, at least that gives another idea to juggle with.

Is there any way to rule it out or confirm it definitely?

I wouldnt have thought it was that, mainly because of the reason that when I go to watch the video, and the transcoding starts, then the MVP returns to the menu, the transcoded file goes quite a bit beyond where the MVP got to.

If I pause the file right at the start, I can watch the length bar get further and further, say up to a good amount, perhaps 4 minutes. But I if I press play, it continues on for a few seconds and then returns to the main menu - even though the transcoded file went on much after that.

As for the recorindgs themselves, they shouldnt be any different to any of the other ones.

Thanks a lot for your time

Is your "H:" drive networked or local? USB, IDE, or SCSI?
GBPVR Server:
AMD Sempron 3300+, 1gb DDR, 100, 200 & 500gb HDDs, DVD -/+RW PVR150 RETAIL, PVR150MCE.
GBPVR 1.0.16, SKIN'S = Default Blue, PLUGIN'S = None

Thanks for the reply,

The H: drive is local IDE drive, and I dont think the drive is the problem, as that is where all my media content lives, of which I have no problems with.

Thanks Smile

File is growing well, but playback catches up, and the last packet is not the full size, which tells the MVP we have reached the end of the file.

Thanks,

Do you believe that increasing the MVP Transcode pre-play delay could help?

Yes, but it'll most likely only let you play it for a little bit longer. Give it a go though.

Thanks! That's solved it!

Seems it just needed that little jog at the start. now I'm getting through it, the file length keeps getting further from the current position and the gap growing so it shouldn't catch up and it's playing fine

Thanks again Smile
