MMAL bug:

Recordings I make with VDR momentarily show grey artefacts when seeking through them. Also happens when simply watching live TV/time shifting. Sample link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/sblxrlqtk1zuvvp/00001.ts?dl=0

OMX plays the file just fine

Thanks

I realised I had this problem before, and found the old thread with the solution-- It was the <omxdecodestartwithvalidframe> setting. So I added it to my advancedsettings xml, but it still happens

I tested the linked file and could not reproduce it with #0430 and only MMAL enabled. Fast forward and 10sec steps worked flawless.

I just upgraded to the the latest, from #0420, and it still occurs for me. Do you have the MPEG2 license installed? Might have something to do with that

This is on a Pi 3

This has been happening for a while now (including on my Pi 2), at one point I had a program running to check the recording dir for completed recordings and mux them to mkv, which fixes the problem and also makes seeking much faster. Doesn't fix the problem for time shifting though!

edit: remuxing to mkv doesn't fix the problem, it just makes it less noticeable because seeking is so much faster than a ts
