Some recordings fail to playback on Android TV box

I actually tested with subtitles defaulted on too earlier and didn't see any issues. The subtitle sync in the news could be better but we have no control over that.

The answers to The Chase were pretty easy.

BTW when I say out of sync I am not saying is is a little out of sync it is a big bit out of sync...like multiple seconds out of sync.

Looks like I will have to have a play with the network an CC .... but one thing that is weird is all the other stuff we are watching (mostly .mp4's) are in sync properly <confused>

hOK so just as a 'what will it do' I converted that recording I uploaded & poked it through HandBrake just using the default 'Fast 1080p30' pre select to mp4 (second time I added burn in subs) & both played fine & in audio sync on the sitting room TV. (but that is a full recode)

So next question I guess is the exact same as I my first question can you supply the syntax for a quick mp4 convert so we can see what that does?

I posted these remuxers https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...#pid554977 but that is as far as will go. You should figure out what is causing the problem. Maybe try the build in ffmpeg decoding in uidroid to see if that helps (I tried h/w If you are creating thumbnails maybe that has an impact.

I agree I should figure out "what is causing the problem" (I have been trying too) but I don't really know where to go from where I am at... basically as it plays the same file without issue when it is remuxed to an .mp4 I would think this shows that my basic network is fine & the only thing I can think of is the CC just doesn't like those .ts recordings & the only thing I can think of doing to the CC is a full hard reset... but I am not all that keen on doing that (especially with the way my head has been recently) because that means I would have to fully set it up again from scratch.

I did try selecting the only thing audio related I could see in the uidroid selection screen but it made no difference & yes I do have it creating thumbnails.

I have attached the logs after trying to do an automatic remux on a couple of small (Brain Busters) recordings this morning that only produced the full .mp4 (with files size) for one recording (the news ones have been doing the same thing).

This is my total PostProcessing.bat

"C:\Program Files\NextPVR\Other\ffmpeg.exe" -i %1 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -c copy -f matroska -| "C:\Program Files\NextPVR\Other\ffmpeg.exe" -i pipe: -codec copy -movflags faststart -y "%~dpn1.mp4"

exit

One other problem is when it does create a .mp4 file with size it doesn't have the subs with it which can be an issue at time for me.

Since my Chromecast played the file I could only assume it was local to you.

Sorry I don't support ffmpeg command line. Are you sure you can even put aac_latm audio and dvb subtitles directly in an mp4 container? If you are confident that only a remux is required, perhaps just make it an mkv file and ignore the pipe.
