Will new release fix my audio synch issues?

[mvallevand]

You probably should. For any version of yauiclient the reinstall won't fix a damaged config file or potentially firewalls. y3 uses a different location so it won't load the corrupt fiile.

I'll do a longer test with your file. I'll start playback and come back and check it in 30 minutes to see how the audio sync is.

Please also attach your logs, so I can see what decoders and audio renderer etc are being used

Log was put in the same folder.

Done.  Runs, will check tomorrow. 

Is the commercial skip better in this version?

[mvallevand]

Better than what? I didn't get any reports about problems with the previous version but there are improvements across the board. If you tried more than a year ago UI clients were in general problematic.

I'm 50 minutes into the playback, and it's still in sync. I'll try another test after a couple of seeks, then leave it running again and check it again in a bit.

I did have one idea though. Can you please try this updated Unmanaged.dll and let me know if it helps? NOTE: it needs to go in the client directory. There is one in the main directory too, but replacing that one wont help with playback in nextpvr.exe. If it doesn't help, please supply updated logs.

I renamed the old dll oldunmanaged and copied this in.  Worked.

Then, to validate it working, I renamed the new one to newunmanaged and renamed the old to unmanaged and tried again, and it worked...

Is my technique valid with dlls, i.e. if they are renamed they don't get used?  I exited NextPVR each time then renamed then went back in.

I will do more testing later today.

Thank you.

We had a whole discussion going that yauiclient was delayed in responding to key presses to skip, which resulted in too many presses, which resulted in it crashing the engine....   Then yauiclient wouldn't open, so I posted that and resorted to using other clients to play shows.

I installed it late last night, and it opened, and that's as far as I got.

Sorry I meant problems with comskip, where no keystrokes are involved, it could be the most tested think in y2 and y3 by one of the users. Before 7.0.4 there were a few small but significant issues in the server-side of UI client protocol that would cause the server to crash so I was probably suggesting to try and limit you keystrokes. You did report more than one occasion where the backend crashed. The backend is more stable now.

Great!

Let me know how it holds up after you've been able to spend more time with it.

Hopefully you meant it didn't work.
