resume playback position problem

[johnsonx42]

This bug was also present in 1.5.28, I just never got around to reporting it. Since you've just made a new release, it seems a fine time to add to your to do list

If I resume playback on a recording, it resumes to and plays from the correct spot but the timeline position is stuck at 12:48, and any skip is then done relative to 12:48. The 12:48 is consistent regardless of the actual resume point.

From the attached log, I play a file and skip in about 30 minutes; then stop playback; it stores the correct resume point:

Code:

2010-09-05 23:50:57.470    [DEBUG][1]    Using timing.info, jumping to time 1824.528198 (offset 3111347736)
2010-09-05 23:51:01.148    [DEBUG][1]    appcommand: 1 +(lParam: 10000, wParam: 140234)
2010-09-05 23:51:01.156    [DEBUG][1]    PlaybackPositionHelper.StorePlaybackPosition(F:\Recordings\House\House_20100905_20002100.ts, 1828, 3598)

Then I resume playback, and it jumps to the correct spot in the video:

Code:

2010-09-05 23:51:14.508    [DEBUG][1]    PlaybackPositionHelper.GetPlaybackPosition(F:\Recordings\House\House_20100905_20002100.ts)
2010-09-05 23:51:14.510    [DEBUG][1]    Using timing.info, jumping to time 1828.000000 (offset 3117384792)

But then I hit fast-forward once, and it jumps back to approximately 12:48+10 seconds:

Code:

2010-09-05 23:51:23.380    [DEBUG][1]    appcommand: 49 +(lParam: 10310000, wParam: 140234)
2010-09-05 23:51:23.382    [DEBUG][1]    Using timing.info, jumping to time 778.000000 (offset 1326056120)

I didn't do any further skipping in that log, but I can confirm after that all further skipping proceeds normally.

A minor update to what I posted already: the bug only occurs if I resume to a point PAST 12:48; if the resume point is earlier than that, then everything is normal. Also, if 12:48 is during a marked commercial break, it will immediately skip to the end of that break the moment it resumes.

I'v seen something like this, but only once. I didn't notice the time, but it was a little more than 10 minutes, and it acted exactly as described here with regards to skipping. Has anyone else seen this?

I did a little more expirementing with this problem, and found it's a Timing.Info related problem. I started with a recording that exhibited the problem (all of mine do), and first I moved the comskip files away; the problem still occurred. Then I put the comskip files back, and stripped out the Timing.Info; the problem was gone.

I am seeing 12min 48sec at the start of the time line too often to be a coincedence - this without comskip installed - prity useless her in the UK with crossfades to ad breaks, channel logos over ads :mad: seems they expect us to watch them all - at least I now have fairly stable skipping with latest NPVR

Can you post the comskip files and Timing.Info?

[johnsonx42]

The attached .zip includes all the comskip files from the recording (Seinfeld) I was playing with last night, and the Timing.Info. I've also included the NPVR.log; I started playing around with the file at 23:50.

One other tiny bit of info I stumbled across, but may be illuminating to you: I reported that if I resume playback to a point prior to 12:48, then everything is normal. This isn't quite true. Everything is normal IF I execute a skip prior to reaching 12:48. However if I let it play naturally to 12:48, then the timeline will stop advancing at that point. It keeps playing, but then if I do a skip it will skip back relative to 12:48; in other words it behaves exactly as if I had resumed to a point past 12:48.

I just wanted to add a "Me too" here, as I've noticed some odd skipping behavior after a resume since the timing.info feature was implemented, but I was always too busy trying to find where I actually left off in the show to work on putting together the actual conditions and put together a coherant bug report.

But this happens on every recording I make now I think.

Does it still happen if you wait about a minute after resume before you attempt to skip?

[johnsonx42]

Yes, no difference.
