4.0.4 Skips Hang Playback

[pBS]

i got another when they were showing a tweet on a browser fullscreen..so mostly really high uniformity scenes..[large solid color blocks]

Still having problems starting HDPVR livetv...still have to skip back to start play.. it normally plays a sec then freezes till skip back.
and still having hard time starting most mpeg2 channels.

Also seeing the "PES too large size:786432" message here with the latest patch from this thread. Like pBS, it seems to happen mostly when there are full screen weather radar graphics in motion, so basically, every pixel on the screen is changing with every new frame.

Has this issue been resolved?

You don't happen to have a recording that gives this error?

sub,

I haven't seen the "PES too large" message, but I am seeing severe choppiness ( ~ 1-2 seconds of play, followed by a fraction of a second pause) - I was somehow hoping that pBS's issue above was relating to what I am seeing. My issue seems to be a buffering issue similar to what is being reported by pBS.

I don't have choppiness with SD or H.264 channels, just HD-mpeg. I can provide a sample if you are still interested?

Is this one a client machine, or directly on the NextPVR machine?

on a client

If you can supply a few minute long MPEG2 HD sample recording, I'll try it out here.

with the latest updates files are playing ok, even in-progress... it's only livetv [mpeg2-hd] that is choppy on client..

is a couple of minutes of a typical recording file...tho this file plays fine, playing livetv on same channel is choppy..

i'm convinced it's a buffering issue, mpeg2 1280 plays for a few secs then same thing..1080i always choppy..

here's one that has pes error in it..@11:00 mins in [approx.]...
i get a couple in a row...seems to happen on cgi stuff like local weather radar/computer generated graphics only..[probably a muxing issue] and once a still shot did it..

This one increases the maximum PES size, and double the buffer size for client/server streaming.

I'm mainly interested in hearing whether this makes any difference to choppiness when just left playing (not skipping around).
