2.4.3 Can't Playback some recordings on Clients

[sub]

Did you try renaming this cut file and the full recording, so this appeared as the recording, so you could attempt playing it?

Yes, dragged the original to the desktop, renamed the cut file in its place to the original name, then attempted to play on the client.

Give this one a go to see if it helps.

Pretty close!

I can play one of the problem files now, but not twice in a row. If I try to play it a second time, after I hit Play, the screen goes black for a half second and then puts me back at the menu. Same as what it was doing before.

If I exit and relaunch NextPVR I can play it again.

I'm heading offline for the evening. If you happen come up with another one to try, I'll try it tomorrow morning my time. I'll test on this client and also find some recordings that don't work on one of my other clients. I'll then test those on the patched client and report back.

Thank you!

I wasn't able to reproduce this with your file. I can play it multiple times from the client pc. You'll probably need to post some logs for that one.

There sure are several blocks of empty ts blocks in that sample file ~18k in total. What drivers are you using? I tested a few of my 2.4.x samples from my HDVR and I didn't have any sync errors.

That sample was recorded with, 1.6.29294, although the latest is 1.6.29353. Many of the others were likely early 1.6x series going back to 1.5x probably.

Time Warner also compresses the hell out of their signals, I don't know if that's part of it. When you're the only game in town, you can get by with the bare minimum of service. Time Warner excels at this.

sub,

The patch works. Of the sampling of 5 recordings I found that didn't play, all 5 played just fine on the client.

Unfortunately, trying to play any affected file a second time requires exiting NextPVR and relaunching it. I tried playing around with different decoders to no avail, all of which should be in the attached client/sever logs. The last thing I did was try to play Kitchen Nightmares twice in a row, so you should be able to find that.

Any recording that wasn't a problem can be played over and over again.

Thanks!

I can see any reason for it in those logs.

You might need to try creating a c:\temp directory, and setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\NPVR\LogSlipFile=1, then reproduce the problem and post the c:\temp\reader.log

Just the client enough for that logging?
