[QUOTE="Owlsroost, post: 1254006, member: 83973"] I think what is happening is that it's seeking (when you tell it to go to the end of the recording file i.e. the 'live' point if it is a recording in progress) to about 3 seconds from the end, then it has to read forward through the data until it finds a suitable point in the video stream to start playing (a 'random access' point). Unfortunately in your streams it looks like these 'random access' points are spaced several seconds apart (it depends on how the video encoding is done by the broadcaster), so sometimes MP detects 'end of file' and stops playback before it's got started... (end-of-file detection is basically 'I can't read any more data from the file so I assume I've reached the end').th It works OK for timeshifting because effectively MP assumes timeshift files are 'infinite' and ignores any end-of-file situations. (What happens inside is more complicated, but the above is the gist of it). I haven't got time to look at what might be done to avoid the situation for a few days, but I'll add it to the 'to do list'. [/QUOTE]
