Nope, no errors at all from the frontend, at least without turning on
some version of verbose.
When I said that moving to the prev frame, actually moves to the next
frame, that should have been moves forward *two* frames.
JUMPing to the previous cutpoint works as long as the current position
is not a cutpoint. Makes me think that when trying to JUMP to the
previous cutpoint, it is actually moving a couple of frames forward,
then seeking backwards for the cutpoint -- so it ends up at the same place.
The problem is definitely with playback, and not recording. I recorded
some shows tonight using the latest CVS. I have installed versions of
the CVS on my frontend machine going back to November 13th which exhibit
the problem. If I go back to November 10th, on my frontend machine, the
problem goes away. So, somewhere between the 10th and the 13th, this
problem was introduced. I will install CVS versions from the 11th and
12th to try and narrow down the time frame.
Isaac, thanks for looking at this.
John
