[mythtv-users] SOLUTION: Seek (FF / Fast foward) does not skip correctly
I've been struggling with this for the last few days, on my Xebian 1.0.3 system running MythTV 0.17 I wasn't able to skip or fast forward through recordings. All my searches through the archives indicated that this might be a problem with the recordedmarkup table, and a byproduct of transcoding and comm flagging. I ran all the mysqlcheck, everything came back clean. This is my second Xebian system, the first running 0.17 on my v.1.0 Xbox works fine. I tried everything I possibly could, I rebuilt MythTV from source, same issue. This frontend was the only one exhibiting this behaviour. When you would try to skip the system would freeze about 5-10 seconds and then the video would become garbled. The total time of the recording would vary too. Typically for a 30 minute recording the end time would start around 800 minutes then modulate from 35 minutes to 28 minutes. Interestingly older recordings that were from 0.16 would work fine. After three days...(I know, I'm slow. . .) I noticed that the /etc/localtime was linked to Vienna. The install for Xebian did *not* prompt me for the timezone during setup. I linked the /etc/localtime to my correct timezone, restarted the frontend and it all works fine. I just wanted to send this back to the list to be available for future records. Thanks all, Walt Keywords: Skip Seek Fast forward fastfoward FF rew pause freeze frame-by-frame ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Thanks all, Walt Thanks for the tip - This implies to me that the SEEK/FF works, not by moving a pointer through a file, but through some sort of sci-fi time travel mechanism. How else would actual time affect it? :-) ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
