Playback of in-progress recording exits when recording finishes

[wtg]

I've seen this happen a few times with both gbpvr and npvr and wonder if this is a known bug or not.

I started watching a show last night while it was still in the process of recording. In case it matters, comskip was running in parallel. I don't have comskip's Live_TV option enabled so I don't believe it's output gets written until the recording completes.

I'm not sure of the exact timing but at about the time the recording of the show completed, we hit a commercial break during our viewing. I hit the skip button but instead of skipping forward, playback abruptly halted and sent us back to the Recordings screen. When we resumed watching the show everything was fine from that point forward, and now we had a comskip timeline available too.

I've had this happen numerous times and it seems to happen on the first skip following completion of the recording. Is this a known problem? I've seen it happen so many times in the past that I'm surprised if it's not. If not I'll be happy to post some logs to help you sort it out. Unfortunately I didn't grab my logs last night and they've rolled over since then so I don't have anything to share.

Thanks,
Tim

Prior to 1.5.36 there was a definite problem skipping in in-progress recordings. It didn't relate to the stop time, though. If you started watching a show say ten minutes after it started you could not skip after viewing the same period. Skipping would also get more imprecise. Upload your logs and I will have a look at what the new problem might be.

Will do... thanks. Might be a few days as I managed to corrupt by boot drive somehow but I'll post back later when I'm able to reproduce the problem. Thanks,
