skip & ffwd does not work on movies

[mvallevand]

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the prompt response. Will try this evening (i.e. in 9 hours time)

John

Thanks, and I'll do the same (from now). I woke up releasing the fix won't be good for files over about 6.5GB, hopefully that's not an issue.

Hi Martin,

Seems that you're on the right track. Ffwd, skip, rwd etc work fine.

Noticed however another strange thing. Hitting the pause-button stopped playing the video, but the OSD with playing time continued for 2-3 seconds; after which emulation-mode stopped and I went up in the top level menu of mvpmc.

Starting GBPVR again looked fine; BUT, I did not succeed in playing another video. GBPVR was not responding to any key.

Log-file of the whole session is attached. Hope it gives you some clues.

Well; you're getting close. The largest file is a recording in my collection is 6,1 Gb

Great thanks. I've uploaded a new dongle but returning from ff/rw is broken right now, and I'll always keep an mvpmc.zip with debug info for those that want to help out.

I have seen this but I have not figured out what I need to do to stop it. The OSD display indicates that GBPVR received the pause, so in theory is shouldn't be sendng time changes.

Looks like I still have to do more to clean up after a crash. Until then a remote control power off should do the trick. In case you aren't make sure you use the gbpvr autostart server option for the MVP to make sure gbpvr cleans itself up.

I will need a file larger then 4.3GB tested with the next dongle if you have chance, that is the next problem threshold.

Great. Will give it a try this evening with the new debug-version and a file > 4.3 GB. Log file will be posted again.

Hi,
Can confirm that the problem I had with skips and pause now is ok with the latest alpha. Great work!!

Thanks, I thought it was a related problem, and once I got the alpha working better I was going to suggest you try it. I am still not happy with the current alpha as I didn't implement the fix for larger files well or my assumption of how Hauppuage did it turned out to be wrong, and I have to revisit some things.
This is going to take a few days.

Hi Martin,

Sorry it took a day, but the wife kept me busy doing other things.
Indeed fdw / skip etc seemed to be fixed. Tried with your alpha dated 7-Mar-2007.

Noticed still that after stopping playing a large file (see attached log file); I get kicked out of emulation mode. Starting GBPVR again, I am able to play video.

Hope the logs are helpfull. Keep up the good work.
If you need things to be tried; let me know. Happy to assist.

Thanks John, I'm actually glad you missed the March 5th alpha. I found one of my errors

bps 13127 length 70473652160 dropoff 5000000

My bet is that the length of ABRIDG~1.MPG is really 6,049,142,720. My logic was off by a one byte.

Did not count the bytes myself, but yeah, I guess that's about the size
