[mythtv-users] Burst of sound incorrectly playing at beginning of recordings

[John Veness]

I have a new problem that I think started with 0.24.

I use the cutlist editor on my recordings to chop off the beginning 
couple of minutes. It used to be that when I played back these 
recordings, they started nicely at the correct place, i.e. with the 
beginning couple of minutes chopped off.

Now, every recording I playback plays a burst (less than a second) of 
sound that I think is from the very beginning of the file, before 
correctly picking up after the cut. I don't see any frames on screen of 
the erroneous playback, but I certainly hear them.

I think this started in 0.24. It certainly wasn't present in 0.22 which 
I ran for several months. I upgraded to 0.23 then 0.24 in quick 
succession, only using 0.23 for a few days, so I cannot say for sure 
whether this problem is new in 0.23 or 0.24, but I think it was 0.24.

This is happening with both new recordings, and old recordings (made 
prior to 0.24), and indeed is happening with recordings that were edited 
prior to 0.24, so I don't think the problem is the new cutlist editor.

I realise that this isn't the biggest problem, but it does make the 
system seem a little less polished. By the way, if I make a bookmark 
some way into a recording and resume playback from the bookmark, I don't 
get the burst of incorrect sound - it only seems to happen when it is 
supposed to be skipping through an initial cut.

Has anyone else seen this, before I report a bug?

Cheers,

John
