performance when start/stop playback

[Wakalaka]

I've had a problem for many months with NextPVR taking a long time (> 1-2 seconds) to start/stop playback of a recorded video. I can hear my hard drive working as I start/stop recordings. Is it possible that NextPVR SQL database is full of unnecessary data and thus is the bottleneck? Log attached. The performance is worse when I have more recordings. I'll have to observe the behavior again and attached the log file again at that time.

I've noticed start/stop playback has become less responsive over the past year. I haven't changed any system HW or the codec (SAF); I updated SAF this morning and rebooted my system.

If the delay is when you press the 'play' button, then probably not. It doesn't really need to look at the database when starting playback - this is more about asking your system for decoders etc. Honestly 1-2 seconds doesn't sound like that long to me.

If you want to play one, then post your npvr.log, I can check where it's spending it's time.

Log attached. I've since switched my OS / PVR app drive to an SSD and things go much quicker. The videos are still on the 2 TB SATA drive.

There is no particularly long delays shown there when starting live tv. It does take a few seconds to build your playback graph, loading up the decoders etc.
