I currently have my library pointing to a mysql database, which is working great. When I want to resume a movie from a previous playback point, it does not work correctly. XBMC seems to be trying to bring the movie up, but cannot. The audio then begins to playback (from the correct resume point) but no video. This only happens when attempting to resume (works fine playing back from the beginning).

The interesting lines seem to be 1311 and 1312:

Code:

13:08:04 T:159502336 M:101892096   ERROR: Control 1 in window 12904 has been asked to focus, but it can't
13:08:04 T:159502336 M:101892096   ERROR: Control 1 in window 10000 has been asked to focus, but it can't

Please let me know if you need any additional info.

I have had this happen on a few movies, where it will 'freeze' and stop playing media and crash back to library view, then refuses to resume. The trick I've had to do is skip past the broken frame(s) and then it's fine.

Davilla's been bugging me about sample files on broken files I've encountered and I need to send him soon, but everytime I watch it with the next build its seemingly better..

Feel free to cut up a sample of 100-200mb, making sure to get where it crashes and you can't resume.

It seems to be all of my movies (just recently started encoding in x264) so maybe I'm doing something wrong on the encode. It also happens at whatever point I pause the movie at, not just at certain points. I've never had a movie crash, its always a clean pause, but none of my movies resume correctly. I will work on cutting out a chunk and getting it posted.

New pastebin for resume, file should be resuming from 00:30

Here is the pastebin if I start the file at the beginning

Here is a clip of the file

Let me know if you need any additional info.

Thanks for the help!

It looks like it was the encoding settings I was using for x264 in MeGUI. I was using:

Code:

program --pass 2 --bitrate 4684 --stats ".stats" --open-gop bluray --pic-struct --level 4.1 --bframes 3 --ref 4 --slices 4 --aud --nal-hrd vbr --b-pyramid strict --keyint 24 --min-keyint 2 --vbv-maxrate 15000 --vbv-bufsize 15000 --weightp 0 --colorprim "bt709" --transfer "bt709" --colormatrix "bt709" --output "output" "input"

After reading http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...C_For_Xbox I changed it to:

Code:

program --level 4.1 --pass 2 --bitrate 4684 --stats ".stats" --keyint 240 --bframes 6 --b-adapt 2 --ref 8 --merange 32 --me umh --no-fast-pskip --aud --output "output" "input"

Does anyone have any further suggestions on what settings work well for them? This seems to have fixed my resume issues, but if there is something I could be doing betting I'd like to make sure I'm not wasting my time reencoding
