<div>i looked a several recordings, they all are the same size,
and looking at files with mediainfo they all have the same
bitrate, although it shows 'variable' in mediainfo. in any event
here is a half hour show:</div>

<div>i wanted to leave a little feedback on the two apps
mythfrontend and leanback. and very big THANKS! for
doing this.</div>

<div>my setup: backend: amd ryzen-2700, archlinux current,
mythtv-git from aur on arch which is 30-fixes branch</div>

</font></div>
<div><font size="3" face="monospace">on the leanback: the
playback for me is significantly better. i prefer it
over my nvidia playback in the backend computer using
its frontend. this is on content which is ota via
hdhomerun tuners (mpeg2), h264 via hdpvr and via iptv
encoder box. on my hdpvr content i am unable skip
forward or back or play from a bookmark. it could be
my unit or settings. i have that set to encode at
around 6500 bitrate and get 3.2 gig files per hour.
the iptv encoder is fine, i have that at same bitrate
and 60fps.</font></div>

go into the recordings group i am shown the first in

instead of going all the way through using right
arrow, if i could just hit left arrow once to get to
most recent that would be huge. either that or a
setting option to select the sort order. other than
that it is very usable for me as it is now. of course
commercial skip and some of the other mythfe features
would be welcome. </font></div>

<div><font size="3" face="monospace">oddly for me settings
that work are pretty much opposite of the wiki. for
mepeg2 content it plays better using mediacodec than

opengl does. on any h264 it plays better for me using
the opengl with 2xhwlinear blend (for interlaced from
hdpvr). even on the shield it is just a bit sluggish
traversing the interface. i am going to pick up the
new series sheild with more powerful processor and if
you like i'll report back on how it works on that.</font></div>

Hi Glen<br>
<br>
I tried your HDPVR recording and, as you say, leanfront cannot skip
in the recording, not does it show the recording length in the
progress bar. There must be something different about the ts file
from the HDPVR.<br>
<br>
I ran this <br>
mkvmerge -o newfile.ts inputfile.ts<br>
using the name of your input file. <br>
<br>
This converts it to an mkv file. leanfront and mythtv will play it
fine with a ts extension.<br>
<br>
To get the mkvmerge program install the mvktoolnix package.<br>
<br>
This took 7 seconds to produce a new file. Copying the new file over
the old one results in leanfront playing it correctly with skipping
and the length of the recording shown in the progress bar. Please
check if skipping still also works from mythfrontend if you try
this. There could be issues with the seektable in mythfrontend.<br>
<br>
I don't know if this is an acceptable solution. This could be done
in a user job post recording.<br>
<br>
I am treating the leanfront player engine (exoplayer) as a black
box, so I won't try to change anything there. I will look some more
into this to see if I can understand what is happening and find a
better fix.<br>
<br>
Peter<br>
