I appreciate you looking into the problem, but this isn't a new bug... and while fresh eyes can sometimes break ground... the suggestion you mentioned isn't a solution.

There is only one seek bug, and it has to do with the subtitle service. It pretty much only affects Movies (most likely because its rare to use subs with tvshows).

One major thing you are missing in your log and is the reason seek is called and ignored...

Code:

DEBUG: ffmpeg[2217C700]: [mpeg4] Invalid and inefficient vfw-avi packed B frames detected

Looks like your file isn't encoded properly or at least ffmpeg thinks so... Your "fix" may overcome issues with poorly encoded media, but I'm not sure it will always work? if a file isn't encoded properly xbmc.player might not seek at all.

Last nights development build fixed an unrelated problem that could have affected seeking...

If another user running GOTHAM ( I do not support Helix) and latest development branch show similar logs I'll investigate the possibility of it being unrelated to encoding...

Hi Luna,

Out of curiosity, is the xbmc team aware of the seek bug with subtitles? I was wondering if the issue is identified on a technical level or not. Now that Helix is in feature freeze, can we perhaps expect a fix for the seek bug in the final?

That issue is my only gripe with ptvl

Thanks

I tried bringing it up, but was lambasted for not providing enough information. (Insite on my sunny disposition <-- Sarcasm of course). I don't have exact data, I've had other developers test with similar results...

What I don't get is i'm not experiencing any issues anymore (since removing subs) it's about 99% fixed on my end... and other users who reported the problem haven't mentioned it... So I think its pretty much fixed.

Leaving the two known reason this happens (subs and bad encoding).

Anyone able to find the problem, if it exists on my end... kodos... but in all honesty I spent weeks checking into it..

This issue drove me nuts for months but its 100% fixed now. All I did was point the subtitles to a custom folder and update to the latest dev build. I love PTVL thanks Luna.

And fix the mute on aftv , if it crashes mute stays on until you reset everithing

Great improvements by the way!! Sorry for my critics but I'm a tester an that's what I do!! Great addon! Get it to work on android wright it would be the best!! I'm using aftv, Mac Pro latest, but on aftv it lags!! On a good pc perfect!!

Wait, you mean only external subs are causing the issue?? So you moved all the subs to a custom subtitle folder and set that in xbmc settings under "subtitle storage location"??

Hmm. I might have to give that a try. But then again, it's not that simple as plex is using those subtitles as well. I would have to figure out how to set plex to use that custom location too.

Hmm, decisions, decisions :-)

@luna

Apologies, sarcasm can sometimes be taken the wrong way. My bad.

LOL @bry- for trying to keep the peace.

You guys rock.

I have question. The update the addon does when it's launched, is there a way to make it do it in the background whether it's running or not. On my fire tv, it take a little while to do it.

NP, Sarcasm is tough over posts...

Low Power HTPC's are a plague!! Trust me I've owned them all, arm, pi, firetv... I get better performance from my Intel P4 then all of them... anyway off my soap box.

I'll be honest with you, this plugin needs to be stripped down in order to run smoothly on those devices. Search the thread for what to disable to make them run smoother...

Also read my "settings explained" in post 1 or 2? (it's a work in progress) but will answer your question about updating channels. There is already a background process...

Now back to last night... I hear you can code... so whip up some regex.matches to match upnp channel names to xmltv display-names... you made it sound so easy last night

Thanks for the heads up. Going to do some more readings. The issue here is that I just found out about this addon and i like it. It's simple and does what it is suppose to do but I can't spend too much time reading through the posts. I have a new born so not so much time to spend online. I only can do some reading while I am at work. That's why I keep asking question. Usually I would just start reading until i find the answers on my own.

LOL I didn't say it was easy. I recall saying you can use what you know to be common and use that as a formula. I know its doable because windows media center matches them without any issues for everyone's computer in the world. But the only difference between you and MS is they have thousands of programmers and you are just one man and I understand that. mc2xml by default retrieve their guide from microsoft source if I recall correctly.

[xavier.ba]

Yep!! I have 2 forums!! On mac its 100% the best!! But on my aft forum.. It's a nighmare!! No body can make it work 100%!!! Sorry for my critic but the market it's on android for now!!

[Marshall]

Appears so... I'll look into it...

::Update::

sigh, hosting quota exceeding again, USTVnow will be down until next update... going to change the setup to now download the file to run locally....

Was there some reason this wasn't running locally to begin with? Just curious.

Not really, but i'm starting to suspect another addon is using my xmltv link, which means I'm being double hit...

The new system will have a 100GB/Month quota... if I max that quota... I'm going to have to consider closing free xmltv data to donors only (not a threat or anything, I would post a howto for noobs to create their own).

To be honest with you I think that would be a very legitimate feature to include as part of the donationware.

It looks like everything is working again as of this morning. I'm curious if editing that xmltv data allows you to change the local time zone. That's always been an annoyance, but you can't complain too much since USTVNow is providing the basic channels for free.

Are you saying ustvnow epg is not in sync?

No the epg is in sync, but its in sync for eastern time. The 5 o'clock news is broadcast from Pennsylvania and comes on at 2pm if you're watching from the west coast.

You know what? I fixed it by putting a channel with an error and and un plugin it! While the sound was on! I must ask for apologies for my previous post, i know they were very negative but the truth is this is the best cable cutter addon on xbmc period!! But on android boxes mute is annoying, messes the whole system!on pc is 100% perfect!!
