Recording wont resume, just playback from beginning

[mvallevand]

Is the problem only on files you cancel early? Also do you get the resume prompts and then they disappear the next time?

Martin

problem is happening to all recordings full length or cancelled early.

after i try to resume and it plays from the start, i stop it and the resume option is no longer there only play from beginning.

Here is  a video demo

Thanks I didn't realise you got the prompt without a skip. Out of curiosity have you tried with the Estuary skin? I could not duplicate that issue with your sample.

From the prompt to playback the plugin doesn't really get involved so again this is a skip not a resume issue. The reason Kodi doesn't give you the resume prompt the next playback is because the resume point is being reset because it didn't skip. Any stops in the first 3 minutes of a recording in Kodi resets playback to zero. I change this default, that is a little too long for me, I often skip past pre-padding to make sure a show records and then stop.

If it does fail with Estuary you might need to clean a few things from your setup to follow Kodi log rules about addons and then post the new Kodi log here. I can package it all up and open an issue on GitHub.

Just tried the same recording that I sent in the video with the estuary skin and the same problem. I get it well and truly pass that two or three minute mark so it can resume even 15-20 minutes in and it won't resume from there it plays back from the beginning. 

What stuff would I need to clean out of Kodi and how would I do that?

Two for sure for openwizard but I would remove or disable netflix because it is generating errors in your logs. I saw recording at 1201 seconds so it isn't the 3 minute thing, plus we now know it is a skip problem.

However looking for different things I also now see in the logs that you press long-0 a lot and that could return a recording to zero.

Code:

(the above is definitely skip to 0)

Is it possible your zero key is sticking?

ok so I think we may have fixed it!!!!

I deleted those add ons and any other ones that i dont really use anymore, shut down Kodi and restarted PC, Problem persisted with old and a new recording.

so I made a backup of my set up of kodi and googled how to do a complete delete and fresh install of KODI, Did this and installed Next PVR add on and the recordings all started to resume fine!

I then restored my backup of Kodi set up to see if it was still ok and recordings are all resuming fine now! back to everything working properly

so there must have been something in one of those apps that was mucking it about.

I have always used a Harmony universal remote. It could have a button issue....the button feels fine but who knows. Im just happy its working again

Thank you so much for all your help, you have been amazing!

Great glad you got it sorted out. One of the troubles I have found adding addon including skins is they can install all kinds of things which might run even when it is not enabled and the Kodi uninstall doesn't remove everything. If the addon doesn't do logging then we don't even know it is there.

Glad to help. We did a new release a couple of weeks ago that could impact resuming and it pays to check it out.
