Can't "jump" forward/back reliably on some recordings

[sub]

Yep, something like that should work.

Is this correct:

Code:

move %1 tmp.ts
"C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Scripts\TsRemux0212.exe" tmp.ts %1

I set a recording up but I did not get the tmp.ts file in the recording directory so I'm pretty sure it didn't run properly. It does work if I drag and drop the file onto the postprocessing.bat file though.

[sub]

I'm not the person to answer batch file question. I never use them, and I'm terrible at writing them. That said, you're probably incorrectly assuming the current directory. ie, tmp.ts is probably trying to create in the windows directory or nextpvr.exe directory or something similar.

Are these using comskip created edl files to skip commercials?

[dinki]

@smajor, I did try it with comskip at first but things were really weird so I turned off comskip generation. These have no comskip files. It is manual seeks.

Gotham has some problems with edls.

Oh wow! That definitely sounds like a problem. This sounds bad. So short of transcoding the TS files into avi/mp4 files there's not much that can be done, right?

I don't have any problem skipping with my ts files and Gotham but I use file streaming not http. You are also really using some low-end clients, which we've discussed before.

I'm confused. Sub says that it is probably a timeline issue from the broadcaster. Are you saying that my low powered devices (RPI and MX2) are the root problem? Also, can you look at the code I posted above and tell me what I'm doing wrong in my .bat file? I think I may be using the wrong variable (%1). Thanks.

I have had problems with skipping issues myself. I have HDHR's and changing the SiliconDust configuration from NextPVR to ATSC/Other other helped a lot. If that's not the issue then try this.

ffmpeg.exe -i recordingname.ts -acodec copy -vcodec copy recordingname.mp4
rename recordingname.ts recordingname.old
ffmpeg.exe -i recordingname.mp4 -acodec copy -vcodec copy recordingname.ts

On an ssd it takes about 5 min for each command to complete.

This can clear up some timecode issues in .ts files and fix skipping issues in NextPVR. It may help you as well.
You can skip the last two commands and leave it in mp4 format if it suits you as well.

IIRC NextPVR doesn't stream MP4 files to clients so you can only playback recordings on the machine that recorded them if you leave in MP4.
