[mythtv-users] Re: Erratic seeking

[Andy Marriott]

Well, it looks like the problem has resurfaced. Although upon closer 
inspection it might only be affecting BBC channels. I rebuilt Myth from 
CVS on Tuesday night and I watched a film I recorded on Wednesday night, 
this exibited the seeking problem, however a program recorded the same 
night on ITV performed correctly. I've just checked again with two other 
programs, one on ITV2 and one on BBC 4 and they both behave in the same 
way. The ITV show seeks correctly and BBC one doesn't. I know there is 
some issue with the BBC not closing their GOP sequences correctly 
resulting in really long GOPs. Is there any extra debugging I can turn 
on to see wether it's upsetting Myth in any way?

If the BBC are actually fault I'd like to know, as I can hassle some 
people at work to get it fixed if possible. I'm sure if ITV can do it 
correctly then so can the BBC. :-)

Cheers,

Andy Marriott
