Skipping on UK recordings degraded in 211017

[Petrovski]

I recently upgraded to 211017 from I think 210912.

Now time skipping (any length) is unreliable on recordings of UK Freeview in the Desktop Client.
Example if I do a 30 sec jump the file will either play after several seconds or not play again without using stop.

The same files are ok in Kodi.

I noted there was a change "Fixed an issue with skipping accuracy of skipping during playback of in-progress recordings".
I wondered if this change could have affected skipping accuracy of completed recordings?

Thanks

I'm not aware of any issue with this, but post the logs and I'll see if anything stands out.

No it wasn't this. This changed actually related to streaming to external clients. NextPVR.exe doesn't use this interface.

Logs attached.
I did a lot of skip attempts while playing the Formula 1 file.

Did you try with the LAV 32 bit decoder?

Just tried now is a bit better, but still not great.

Can you post logs now you've switched to LAV?

In theory nothing has changed on this front, so should be just the same as 210912 or other recent releases.

Here are my logs using LAV (which I've used for years now).

I came here looking for others with the same problem. A recent update appears to have broken skipping for me. 
I think it might be since 211017 but I can't be certain as I've been spending a couple of months using kodi plugin on my TV and only recently switched back to using the native client.
When I skip, it takes about 3 seconds to resume (much slower that it used to be), audio and video then proceeds to stutter for ages with lip sync issues. If I exit and restart without skipping, it's fine.

(to be clear, Recording finished 3 days earlier....)

btw, it seems that no matter what I set loglevel to in config.xml, it still writes debug level.

The logging level only applies to the server at this stage. Unfortunately your nrecord.log only contains ERROR logging, so doesn't contain the bits I was trying to find. Can you post debug logs?

Let me know if this update helps with the skip issue. Replace the existing file in "c:\program files\nextpvr\client".

If it doesn't help, post a new set of logs.

unfortunately the dll crashes the client with

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.
