Show length not correct

[Guest]

Sub,
I recorded a 1 hr show last night and this morning when I checked it, the OSD reported the length to be 00:01:50. The recorded file is actually the full hour long. I also recorded a 30 minute show last night and its' length was reported at 00:31:56. This should be correct since the pre and post padding are both set to 1 min. The other thing that may or maynot mean anything is that I have my recording quality set to 1.8GB/Hr because I'm using a wireless MVP, but the 1 hr recording was only 1,363,000 KBs in size.

The problem with the incorrect length is that if you try to skip forward and go past the 00:01:50 time, the playback stops and sometimes the client hangs. I was using rel 16 for both the recordings and playback tests. I know in the past you said you were having trouble calculating or reading time stamps, so I didn't know if you had fixed anything or not in rel 16.

Thanks,

Yes, I've also seen this with MVP playback. Sometimes the PVR250 seems to generate bogus PTS timestamps. When I start playback I scan the end of the file looking for the last timestamp, then store value away for later use.

I've yet to find another mechanism for determining the duration of an mpeg file.

The 30 minute show reported at 31:56 sounds about right to me. It may have taken a few seconds to start the recording.

I just tried to play the same 1 hr show on the PC client and it also reported the length to be 00:01:50, but in the PC client I could use the OSD skip command and skip past the 00:01:50 time. The video and audio did get out of sync though. The MVP playback stops when you try to skip past it.

Is there anything I could try to help debug?

Can you try playing the file with your MVP then send me the GBPVR.exe.log?
