Slow / delayed resume after skipping while paused

[buzzydotinfo]

Hi all,

Apologies if this has already been discussed. Two possibly separate issues:

First up, nPVR seems to lose its location in a recording if I skip around while the recording is paused. If I pause at 03:00, and skip backwards using CTRL+r, the OSD shows:

02:46
02:48
02:37
02:30
02:36
...
and so on. It's not skipping back evenly in 10s increments, and sometimes even skips *forward* several seconds. Skipping whilst playing works just fine; I get an even 7-8 second skip as expected.

If I stop pressing CTRL+r and start pressing CTRL+f, the time continues skipping backward for another couple of key presses before starting to skip forward. When it does skip forward, it's also not in 10s increments. If I switch back to CTRL+r, it continues skipping forward for another couple of key presses before starting to skip backwards; still somewhat erratically.


Secondly, and possibly related: I pause a recording, then skip backwards 10s, then play. It takes several seconds (somewhere from 4 to 12 seconds) to start playing again. When it does start playing, it will play from the original pause point or thereabouts.

The more skipping around, the longer the delay until play resumes - during some of my experiments on the first issue, nPVR took upwards of 2 minutes for play to resume.

Has anyone seen similar issues?

Yes, I have noticed the same on XP.

after I pause a video my playback tacks up to 5 seconds to restart again, my skips are correct though

the behavior described by the OP is normal in my experience. it may not be intended nor ideal, but it's normal. I'm hoping maybe to see some improvement in this regard with 2.1.4, but I'm not holding my breath. (I'm away on vacation now, so I've yet to install the new release).

Just a little annoying as I like to hit pause, then skip adverts to desired point, then press play to resume. All works instantly in GB-PVR but with nPvr I have to sometimes press back or forwards skip (10sec) to get the video to resume or else it remains paused after pressing play again.

I've found skipping in nPVR abit of a hit and miss thing. Havn't had time to sit down and look at this issue

Likewise, I have found skipping in nPVR hit and miss. More noticeably with H264 recordings, but I've not spent time to really narrowed it down. Often on HD recordings skipping will cause it to "pause" for ages (enough for the wife to throw the remote at the telly or me!) but another skip in one direction or the other will often make it continue, but then it's not where you want to be so it requires a lot of skipping about to get it to play from where you want. Sometimes it pauses/hangs so a stop/resume is required.

That's exactly the same as I'v been seeing in all the later releases.

I've said it before and will say it again - skipping was damned near perfect with 1.5.28+patches. It's been varying degrees of messed up since then; since sub re-fixed the skipping in 1.5.36 it's stabilized at what I'd call "not too bad". That said, I don't know if NPVR has ever been capable of skipping reliably during pause.
