[QUOTE="Crackofdawn, post: 863526, member: 98108"] Hello, I have a very annoying problem I'm hoping someone can help with! When I try to play videos in OnlineVideos, there is a massive 'lag' time before the video starts loading - this lag time appears to be different based on the site I'm using, with sites like Break being the quickest and Yahoomusicvideos taking by far the longest. During the initial 'lag' time, it will show '0%' loaded (not 0.0%) and the Hard disk on my HTPC will be flashing nonstop and very loud as if a lot of data is being read/written. After awhile (as long as 60 seconds) it will change from 0% to 0.0% loaded, and then as long as 20 seconds after that it will suddenly go up very fast and start the video. Once the video starts playing the HD access goes away. This behavior only started sometime in the last few months - I've been using OnlineVideos since a loooong time ago (0.16 or something) without any issues, and I think this issue either popped up when installing OnlineVideos 1.0.0 or MediaPortal 1.2.0 with LAV Filters (before that I was only using FFDShow for everything). I can't say for sure when it actually started though. I'm currently on MP 1.2.3 and OV 1.2.0 with LAV Filters 0.50.2 and the issue is the same or worse. Attached is a mediaportal debug run where I loaded, went straight to OnlineVideos, then to YahooMusicVideos, then clicked a video (the lag is by far the worst with Yahoo, takes up to 1 1/2 minutes to start a video, with the first 1 minute and 25 seconds at 0%. Other sites like break will go much faster but still take 10+ seconds to start a single video - even if the video is only 10 seconds long. The main suspicious thing to me is in the MPUrlSourceSplitter.log file, immediately after it shows the LAV Filter loaded, there are hundreds of errors below that go for 45 seconds or so: MPUrlSourceSplitter_Rtmp: RtmpLogCallback(): DECODING ERROR, IGNORING BYTES UNTIL NEXT KNOWN PATTERN! Google doesn't seem to show anything about what this is but it seems to take up the majority of the time when OnlineVideos is 'hung' waiting to start streaming. Side note: This only happens in OnlineVideos - if I play any local file in MovingPictures, My TV-Series, etc, it plays instantly with only minor hard drive access. [/QUOTE]
