Hi,

I have a server running TVE3 and the Mediaportal program and also a macmini running the client. When I fast forward recorded tv on the server, it works fine, and I can see a speeded up version of the programme as it forwards though it.

However, if I fast forward on the client machine, the image of the tv remains fixed at the point which I pressed ffwd. The progress bar on the OSD moves along as expected. When I press play, the programme picks up at the correct location and continues to play. If I want to reach a certain point in the programme, I have to guess where it is and press ffwd, play, repeatedly until I find it.

Does anyone else have this behaviour? If so, have they found a way around it?

I've tried a number of codecs, all the same effect.

If I play the file through the 'My Videos' section, it ffwds ok, showing the preview as the programme progresses. The client is reading the file over the LAN from a UNC in this case, not streaming.

in advance

I also have this problem, It is very (!) annoying when trying to fast forward through the adverts!..
Anybody have any ideas?

No-one else sees this issue? Can someone confirm that they don't have the issue and that multi-seat ffwd shows a preview as it move through the recording?

I've put on last nights svns (16108) and it's still the same. Have also tried tsReader, but no difference.

I see the same. See the thread about a new tsreader. This is being worked on.

Just wanted to confirm this behavior. I am running svn from 10/9, both MP and TV3, and using TsReader. Rew and FF preview works on the server machine, but not on the network clients.

Can any devs confirm this is "normal" (but will hopefully soon be fixed)?

Or is this a problem with my specific setup?

 

[Paranoid Delusion]

Nope have single seat setup with TVE3, tried every combi of codecs, but none will actually "show updated video" when going forward\backward in recorded TV.

Even disabled tsReader and no change, so this seems to be system wide.

ps. comskip works fine, but obviously that does not show video skipped anyway.

Nope have single seat setup with TVE3

Paranoid, just to clarify...I DO get preview during seek in single seat. But on the remote network clients is where I do NOT get preview. Same exact setup as far as MP and codecs are concerned so that is not the issue for me. It is definitely an issue with multi seat clients for me.

UPDATE:

I just did a test with TV recordings played in My Videos. Preview works just fine in My Videos on remote network clients, on the exact same recordings that do NOT work in the TV client.

So this seems to be an issue with the TV client in multi seat setting.

Just confirming issue, Same problems here no preview in FF or REW.

TV3 no SVN's here.
