timestamps wrong, duration out of whack...

[bspisak]

Hi,

I've read and re-read this thread and still have an issue.

Configuration:

• WinTV-PVR-150 MCE w/ 2.0.48.24227 and registry fix (had to add DriverData key as well as both values)
  
• MediaMVP w/ 3.2.24125b
  
• GB-PVR 0.99.05
  

Symptoms

• When paused, times listed are bogus, and time is still running - backwards!
  
• When fast forwarding or skipping, will eventually exit back to menu
  

Do I actually need to go backwards with the driver to the one that was listed over a year ago? :confused:

See log files attached.

I have been using the 24108 drivers (I believe these are the most current) for a long time.....no problems with the reg fix.....I did need the reg fix to address the invalid timeline issue I was having.

I have not tried these newer drivers....since I have not had an issue after upgrading to the 108 drivers I decided to leave what works in place....unless some really compelling reason comes along I plan on staying at the 108 level

Have you ever tried the 108 drivers? You can get them here.

Did you run the hcwclear program, reboot, and then install the new drivers?

OK, I've loaded the drivers you suggested (and yes, I've used hcwclear, reboot, etc.)

I'm now seeing slightly different symptoms:

• When paused, it behaves the same: the time index is moving backwards and the start and stop times are bogus with the stop time incrementing. E.g. I pause and see 00:00:24, the index pointer moving right to left , and 00:03:00 incrementing by ~5 seconds at a time.
  
• It no longer seems to exit back to the menu when FFWD or skipping, but after about the 4th skip, it get's stuck on a frame and won't play again. Sometimes, it will FFWD or RWD again, but this is inconsistent. When I hit Stop, it goes back to the menu as it should.
  
• I've also seen the audio loose sync with the video after skipping, but I was seeing this before as well.

Your logging level is set to 'error' so there is not much useful info in there. If you set it back to 'debug' and reproduce and repost the logs, I'll take another look.

I found it, it is MvpTranscodeAllVideo not MVP. Anyway, it's set to false.

Here ya go.

This is using the pvr_2.0.43.24108_prerelease driver. I hit pause once, then FFWD 4 times when it hung. I tried a bunch of buttons after that but it was stuck. The Pause button brings up the indexing display, but that's it. Stop took me back to the menus.

p.s. I doubt it you care, but WinZip gave me the following Warning:

Warning: The following file is open by another program. If that program
Warning: writes to the file while WinZip is zipping the file, the zipped

Ah, you're playing an AVI file on your MVP.

Are you aware that the MVP can only play MPEG1 and MPEG2 video files? Recognising that a lot of people would like to play AVI files, GB-PVR tries to do an on the fly conversion to from AVI to MPEG2 when you try to play an AVI file on the MVP, to at least give you simplistic AVI playback. To do this, it kicks of a process called ffmpeg in background, whose job is to convert the AVI file to a temporary MPEG2 file. It needs to convert the file, starting from the beginning of the file working as fast as it can towards the end of the file. You're seeing the duration of the file increase by five seconds at time because its converting the at about 5x realtime on your PC.

Try to skip or FFWD during this is not really recommended, on MVP AVI playback due to these complications. It can kind of work, but you definitely cant try to jump past the current conversion location.

This is just a limitation of playing AVI files on the MVP that you need to be aware of, and learn to live with.

Ahhhhh.... I didn't know that. Would that also explain why the time indexing is changing?

Reread my post - I was still editing it.

The duration of the file keeps increasing as ffmpeg converts more and more of it in the background. This is happening in faster than real time.

Yes, thanks for the speedy reply!
