Skip ahead causes hang during playback

[fiteclub]

While trying to FF during the playback of the tv show 20/20 the video freezes and then after about a minute returns to npvr recordings menu. This has happened on several different recordings, but not all recordings. Some behave properly. I have zipped and attached log files. Time stamp for trouble is: 2011-03-02 00:08:19.790

Anyone have any ideas what might be going on here? I have the feeling it is a timing issue in the .ts file. These lines in the log seem to suggest that it doesn't jump to the correct time code and therefore crashes back to the npvr menu.

i have seen this problem on my machine - but if i fast forward again or rewind it always comes back to life so not a huge issue but could be something to look at (its been a problem for as long as i can remember but i cant remember if i posted about it before)

[fiteclub]

No such luck with me. If I try that, it just ignores the request and eventually crashes back to epg screen. I am hoping Sub will chime in at some point with his opinion of what might be going on.

hmm sounds like a slightly different issue then - bugger - sorry cant help any more

AC3filter - are you using audio passthrough?

AC3filter - are you using audio passthrough?

Yes, why?

[fiteclub]

Can I please get a little feedback here? An "I don't know" ,"I'll get to it when I have time" or "I need more info" is better than being ignored. I know you're busy and I appreciate your time and maybe this post was just overlooked but just a quick acknowledgment would let me know that you have at least read it.

[sub]

I assume you're directing this at me? I read your problem description, but didnt really have any ideas. From hoborg's question above, it might be worth seeing if not using AC3Filter makes any difference.

[fiteclub]

Thanks sub, I will try that. So when I see something similar to these lines in the log:

2011-03-01 23:50:11.478 [DEBUG][1] Stopping graph@3

This is normal? because every time this happens, the requested "jump to" position does not agree with the reported position and I get the stopping graph messages.
