Hey guys,

I have been using almost every new nightly Omega 21 build and up until the last week or so everything has been great without any major issues.

However I started noticing with the last few builds some major playback issues.

Like for example when playing a video and you skip ahead or back the video freezes.

It's not only happening on my Shield TV but also Windows 10 64 Bit PC.

So I went back to the first Omega Version 21 Alpha 2 release and that works perfect.

Anyone seeing this?

I realize there is a reason why it's called a "Nighty Alpha" build so I am not complaining or anything like that.

I was just curious if this was a known issue and with what build it started?

Thanks

Can you pinpoint the nightly that stopped working, Windows portable installs might be best  There have been some changes for ffmpeg 6 skipping over the last couple of weeks.   Maybe start to see of Aug 8 works, before the changes start.

The most suspicious commit is this:

https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/535b...fbc5ed6428

Ok so this issue started with builds compiled from 2023-08-23 and continue with 2023-08-25.

Builds compiled from 2023-08-21 and earlier do not have the issue.

Again the issue basically is when skipping back and forth in videos it’s extra slow and the video will freeze.

Then it may be this one https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/8ead...95fcfe4e04 it was part of as set of skip related changes.

Yes but there are 3 commits and it seems that only one is the one that is causing problems
 

Builds compiled from 2023-08-21 and earlier do not have the issue.

Aug-21 is also affected, latest without the issue is Aug-19


Here test builds with aforementioned commit reverted. Should fix the issue:

ARM-64:

I will test those out.

Thank you

New test builds seem much better

Anyone seeing this?

Yes, I noticed also.  Using Windows v.21 Omega.

[gate1975mlm]

The builds compiled today 2023-08-27 still has the issue.

So I assume the fix that you posted Yesterday with the test builds did not make it into the latest nightly 2023-08-27 just yet?

The proper solution needs to be discussed/elaborated. Current "fix" only reverts one commit and this only demonstrates that aforementioned code change is related and triggers the issue.

This is only the first step in finding a solution.

Cool thanks for the info
