comskip issue?

[kimnach]

Not a biggie, but it was certainly odd: I recorded last night's "Sarah Connor" with pvrx2. About ten-minutes after the recording stopped, I played it through pvrx2, and the time indicator showed that it was a whopping 00:01:58 long. Actually the point from which it started playback was about 49-minutes into the show and played to the end. Now, I assume that the comskip tagged the first 49-minutes as commercials. But why would the indicator show only a two-minute recording length and play roughly ten-minuts? I whould have saved the files, but after watching SC through PDVD I just was not curious enough to look at an isolated occurance....

If you have a PVR150 (or PVR500), then its is probably the PVR150 timestamp bug. A solution is in this thread: http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=14006

thanks, sub. yes, i have a pvr-500 and i'll patch my system tonight. this is, however, the first time since the release of 1.1.5 and the scores of recorded shows that this has occurred.

Some people just start getting this problem out of the blue, while they've had no issues with it in the past. I have no idea why. Its not related to version of GB-PVR though. For the last two years or so we've had about one post every couple of weeks the same as this.

In my case it does this whenever I have the file server transcoding. Once I figured this out I just made sure I was not transcoding when something was set to record so I never tried the fix to see if it made a difference in my case.

I have a PVR-150 and started getting this issue a couple of weeks after installing it. The fix worked great for me.

Just FYI.
