I recorded and then watched The Amazing Race: Unfinished Business tonight. Note, the recording was completely finished before I began playing it. However, I think that comskip was still processing it when I started it on the PCH the first time.
When I first watched it, I was using the PCH and noticed that it showed the length of the recording as 01:13:45. It should have been a 1-hour show plus either 1 or 3 minutes of padding (depending upon whether the post-padding was honored).
When the playback got to the end of the program, mvpmcx2 hung displaying a frame of video. I'm guessing that the hang was caused by npvr reporting the length of the program as 01:13:45, but the file is actually only about 01:03:00, and when mvpmcx2 tried to go past the end of the file, it had problems.
I then tried playing it on the pc. On there, the length kept changing fluxuating between 01:15:00 and 01:07:00 or so. (I only played about 5 minutes, so I don't know if it would have stopped changing at some point or not.)
I've attached logs. The timing.info is from this recording. The putty.log is the info from the PCH for the time when it hung. The npvr.log is from playing it on the pc. Unfortunately, when the PCH hung, it was using an mvp server which wasn't logging, so I don't have the original log from it. But I did go back and begin playing it on the PCH and got an mvp.log which shows beginning playing the file.
