If a stream is paused (Eg: from live TV), when resumed, the video doesn't continue from the point where the stream was paused.

Example: Watching a program that started at time X, pause the video at time X + 10, when resuming, the video continues from X + 5. Expected the video to continue from X + 10.

It's worth mentioning, that the resume points tend to stay at fixed points in the stream for some time.

Example: Using the previous example, pause will always resume from X + 5, independently it was paused at X+9 or X +11. It will eventually change (let's say X + 30) and then present the same simptom ( Eg pausing the video at X+ 35 will resume from X+30).

I couldn't identify a pattern for the changes in the pause "marks" in the stream.

Logs attached.

Don't know if anybody was able to repro this. Just did a clean install of one of the latest SVNs (v11817) and I can still reproduce this.

Is this working as designed? Releasing Pause will not continue exactly from where it was stopped?

I have hade this problem more or less from the start.
If paused, it restarts from the beginning of the stream.

Ok, an update.

After some reports that pause works as expected, I tried some different scenarios and as far as I can tell, pause works if TVServer and the Client are on the same machine.

Can anyone confirm if has tested Live TV Streaming pause and resume working correctly with client and server in different machines? If so, please post your setup (TVaCard type and version) so I can see if I can repro.

I'll be able to do some testing this week. If anyone has any tip to help narrowing down this issue I'll be glad to help. Will posto some logs tomorrow too.
