The next Problem:
I have SAT-Receiver Dreambox records(TS-Files) and the starttimes are very slow!
I assume this has always been slow, rather than a regression.
The problem is that ts files have no index, so to determine what streams are present you have to parse (quite a lot of) the file before playback starts. This is slow.
There are some patches to xbmc mentioned here (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=150887&page=12) that aim to allow streams to be started without knowing the content,
and to allow the audio and video streams to start (and stop) dynamically.
That may appear in future, but it's not ready yet.
