Hi to all!
I have been busy for a few weeks now testing the tvheadend xbmc combination and I'm very impressed.
I did manage to get me into trouble though and since I use Larses dharma repo for both xbmc and tvheadend I'm asking you guys if you could help me out.
My backend as well as my frontend run Ubuntu 10.4, fully updated.
On the backend runs tvheadend 2.12.svn5683~odk1, on the frontend runs xbmc SVN
harma+pvr~odk48.
I use a nfs share mounted at the frontend to playback recorded shows.
I use stepback, stepforward, bigstepback and bigstepforward (left, right, up and down on my mceusb remote) mainly to skip commercial blocks, but this does not work as I espected.
In advancedsettings.xml I tweaked the value of the amount of time I am skipping with the above commands like this:
Code:
<advancedsettings>
<loglevel hide="false">1</loglevel>
<video> <!-- "VideoSettings" instead of "video" for builds prior to May 22, 2006 -->
<smallstepbackseconds>7</smallstepbackseconds> <!-- Length of the small skip back (normally the BACK button) when playing a video -->
<smallstepbacktries>3</smallstepbacktries>
<smallstepbackdelay>300</smallstepbackdelay>
<usetimeseeking>true</usetimeseeking> <!-- Whether to use time based or percentage based seeking. -->
<timeseekforward>60</timeseekforward> <!-- Time to seek forward in seconds when doing a short seek. Defaults to 30. -->
<timeseekbackward>-30</timeseekbackward> <!-- Time to seek backward in seconds when doing a short seek. Defaults to -30. -->
<timeseekforwardbig>420</timeseekforwardbig> <!-- Time to seek forward in seconds when doing a long seek. Defaults to 600 (10 minutes). -->
<timeseekbackwardbig>-420</timeseekbackwardbig> <!-- Time to seek forward in seconds when doing a long seek. Defaults to -600 (10 minutes). -->
</video> <!-- use "VideoSettings" instead of "video" for builds prior to May 22, 2006 -->
</advancedsettings>
This is what happens:
In case I play back a finished recording, all goes well, very smooth indeed.
But in case I play back a show that is still recording, all is wrong.
Stepback and stepforward are slow and do not skip all of the time I orderd them, bigstepback and bigstepforward are even worse, meaning much slower and skipping about 60 seconds in stead of 420.
When I push right twice and next push up twice I should have skipped 16 minutes (the recording was of course running some 30 minutes before I tried this).
But in fact it just skipped 3:29. I know that because I stopped xbmc to get the log, waited for the recording to finish, then started xbmc again and playd the recording again. On playback start, xbmc offered me to start at 3:29 or at the beginning of the recording.
So I playd the finished recording for some seconds and pushed again rihgt twice followed by up twice, hoping that the resulting logs enable you to find out wether I am doing something wrong or this may be a (hopefully fixable) bug.
I repeated the test numerous times with the same results
I posted the logs here:

Hope you can help.
Kind regards,
