Video files skipping (1 Viewer)

[PistolPete]

Hi Guys,


I'm getting an odd problem where video sometimes skip forward or backwards.
The odd problem is that it always seems to one of a few places. I have 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 30 mins steps setup and when the file skips it'll be 1 mins (1), 4 mins (3+1), 9 mins (5+3+1), 19mins (10+5+3+1) etc etc away.

At first I thought it might have been the IR remote playing up, so I disabled it and it's still happening.
It's not very often, but it's odd that it's jumping on what appears to be the MP steps.

Anyone else come across this??

If it helps I'm running Windows Vista x64.

Look for some other source for transmitting the signal, be it radio or even microwave related, remote keyboards\mice can be culprits, as they have a reconnection signal, which triggers every so often.

Thanks for that.

By disabling the IR, I meant at the HTPC itself as I thought maybe one of the other remotes (such as the TV maybe doing it) or even one of the laptops (My old laptop used to cause my old Freeview box light to constantly flicker!) so the IR Receiver is physically unpluged from both the power and usb.

The keyboard/mouse is wired and hidden behind the TV when not in use, not a remote one.

Is there any way to get Media Portal to acknowledge key presses, maybe with a sound or something, so I can tell if it thinks it's received a request to skip?

MP config\general\keys & sounds, you can associate any noise you like
