Skip / fast forward not working - random intervals and direction

Ok, I'll consider this problem fixed then. I'm a little concerned that if commands are being duplicated that I will run into other issues, but I guess we'll cross that bridge if we come to it.

Have you tried it with the keyboard? That way you could rule out the remote if it still happens.

I had the problem too. The patch seems to do some good, but on the MVP it takes 6 or 7 seconds before the skip actually is visible. So, I hope there will be another better patch soon.

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit like aseibert (the one starting this thread), could that be part of the problem perhaps?

That patch only relates to playback on the PC. It wont make any difference if you're using an MVP or NMT. From memory, skipping on an MVP is pretty slow, it should be fairly accurate though.

Skipping on the MVP and gb-pvr 1.3.11 takes just over a second (and after a short black screen there's the new part of the video).
Skipping on the MVP and NPVR 2.2.6 takes now 6 or 7 seconds (and then it takes about a second for the old and the new to merge; the images have large pixels).

So there is a big difference, I don't know if this can be fixed too.

It should be largely the same as GB-PVR was for skipping. I personally haven't used an MVP in years, but if you post the logs I'll see if anything stands out.

Here they are. I pushed 5 times "page down" (1 minute skip).

Unfortunately I cant see any obvious cause in the logs.

I'm too busy right now to find an MVP and try reproducing, but if you bump the thread in a few days, I should hopefully have more time available.

As I recently reported in the MVP forum after looking at someone else's logs, it doesn't look like NPVR is actually moving the file cursor for the MVP on a skip requests.

No one is testing the MVP during beta and fewer problems are being reported properly with logs so the MVP support in NPVR is definitely rusting out.

I can understand that in this way MVP support will stop completely. So, if I can help beta testing I will.
