cannot resume video after stopping (1 Viewer)

[Caramel]

MediaPortal Version: RC3
MediaPortal Skin: Replicant (but tried blue2/3)
Windows Version: XP
I will get more info about setup if required (sick of beating my head against wall)


When i play a video either in My Videos or TVSeries and stop the video before the end i cannot restart that video .. if i try to play that video again it flashes black for a fraction of a second and returns to menu screen.
I have found that the only way for me to be able to play that video EVER again is to manually remove the "stopped" value from the relevent SQLite db (setting it to null) so that MP does not try to prompt for restart at last position.
BTW i never get the restart from last pos prompt the screen flashes and back seemingly without doing anything.

Any ideas? could it be a codec/player thing? I am using internal player not at MP pc atm so i cannot check coecs atm but i was using klite mega pack but have experimented with ffdshow with exact same result.

let me know if there is anything that can help (logs, test scenarios, config xmls, etc) i will supply.

Update to RC4, this may be fixed, so try updating, remember we only work on current versions, otherwise confusion sets in, and we end up chasing our tails

i was gonna wait for release but i will try rc4

 

[Caramel]

RC4 - no change

any ideas?
any info required to diagnose further?

Same problem for me, with the RC3 or the last RC4 (and in complement of my problems with shortcuts).
Actually, I do not have any other solution tha kill the "mediaportal" process with CTRL-ALT-SUP and restart it...

For this to be happening, then something is totally screwed, having to edit a db to allow playback to be restored just sounds like a totally wrecked installation.

As far as codecs go, could be a issue, try uninstalling all codecs, then run filmerit and fix any errors.

Then try the Vista Codec Pack (ignore name), this has been known to correct faults left by other codec packs.

Same problem here. However not quite as bad. If I restart MP, I am able to watch the recording again. I have a very clean installation. Fresh install of Vista w/SP1 and all latest updates, FFDShow, and MP RC4 on the HTPC and fresh install of XP Pro w/SP3 and all latest updates and TV Server RC4 on the TV Server. I posted my logs in a separate thread.

ok grabbed a bit of time to play around finally and tried paranoid's suggestion with codecs
i had originally tought it might have been a codec thing stopping it being able to esume from XXX position

but no joy...

i looked further into it and checked out the logs
