<div dir="ltr">Hello all,<br><br>I wonder if someone could give me some advice on how to go about resolving this issue. <br><br>For a long while (I don't know when this started, probably about a year ago) all the recordings from shows end earlier than their real length when played from the mythTV "watch recordings" page. For example, when I record a program of 30 minutes length, playback shows a duration of 23:47. I noticed that the recording is indeed longer than that, for example, by playing back the .mpg file externally using mplayer. Also, depending on how playback is configured in mythTV, it would continue playing past 23:47, only the progress counter would stop moving (it remains in 23:47 of 23:47) and also many navigation functions (FFWD, RWD) are lost. Also is commercial auto-skip. In fact: I have a slight suspicion that in many cases, commercial flagging is not worken as well as it could because of this.<br>
<br>A couple more details: I notice that the "end time" reported by the mythTV player is suspiciously similar for similar length recordings. Something like: 30 mins -> 23:47; 1hr -> 47:58; etc. Also, I verified the guide data is reasonably OK (this time discrepancy doesn't seem to come from there). I am currently running mythtv 0.21 from mythbuntu 8.04.1 out-of-the-box. I use a Hauppauge 500 with ivtv <a href="http://1.1.0.">1.1.0.</a> Only unusual setting is that because of my location (Argentina) I'm using Pal-Nc and a custom-written XMLTV grabber.<br>
<br>Any advice on how to go about diagnosing this or tips to try to fix it would be greatly appreciated.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Julian<br></div>
