Downloaded VOD cannot skip ahead/FF/RW/RESUME

[mvallevand]

This update doesn't use the API, is uses a sqlite call.  There is also before and after logging of the XML that should be going to Kodi so you can see any durations changes.  The original VOD files your were testing should still work.

I didn't stop the download since I still would like you to test if you think mp4 playback was better.  It seems to be.

Testing the new build now on another title I had recorded.

Afterwards I will circle back around to feeding the mp4 file to NextTool and verify if that has a seeking issue. Sorry I did not test that sooner.. Correct me if that is not what you meant.

[mvallevand]

Actually once/if the duration isn't zero I want to test the mp4 in Kodi. Just renaming the ts file normally is enough.

So rename the original ts file to something else, and rename the mp4 file to "movietitle.ts" ? I will try. I believe I tried renaming a previous recording after feeding it through ffmpeg to match an original ts recording in the past that resulted in the m3u8 file disappearing.

[mvallevand]

The MP4 file will have the correct name but it still needs a good duration if you play via pvr

Martin

So I should renaming the ts file for example, movietitleOLD.ts, and keep the mp4 file named as is and the PVR should recognize the mp4 as the replacement?

[mvallevand]

Right. However it is one way so it can go ts to MP4 or mkv but not back so do any ts skip testing first.

Martin

Tested on two titles.  TS files confirmed still not working with the skip/ff/rw test.  Buttons do not appear, duration still 0 in NextPVR.  Same goes for the mp4 files.  I tested renaming the ts files as well as removing them altogether.  Kodi plays them just fine but there is no ff/rw buttons or the ability to move the slider manually to skip ahead or backwards.

shall I try removing the m3u8 files?

[mvallevand]

In the new log what is showing for the duration after change?
