As it looks only some 15 seconds might be buffered. Skipping further than these 15 seconds is in my eyes too slow. After a skip to build up buffer takes also a long time, so next skips are too slow.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">How I use skipping: <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- plain skipping (no commercial skipping activated) with 10 seconds and 2 minutes configured<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- need to skip 8 minutes commercials (4x 2 minutes) and correct with some 1-2x 10 second skips back/ahead<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- during replay skip back to repeat the last 10-20 seconds<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">How is the buffering for Leanfront implemented (what happens when I skip), how much data/time is buffered?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Would it be possible to implement/configure a buffering of 30 seconds back and 10 minutes ahead (or at minimum of 1 minute ahead) ?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div> <br> <fieldset class="moz-mime-attachment-header"></fieldset></div></blockquote><p>The buffering in leanfront is handled inside Exoplayer, which is a player code base from Google. I don't know if buffering is the real problem. Part of the problem is the necessity to search for the new place in the video. Exoplayer uses a binary search to find the place. This could be inefficient. MythTV uses a seek table on the database which gives the location and time of every keyframe in the recording. I already attempted to change the Exoplayer code to use the seek table, but there was little improvement and it caused some problems, so I disabled that code.</p><p>A faster connection to your backend may help. Your router may not support the newest wifi standard. If you could connect using ethernet, that could go up to 1 Gbps and that may help. <br></p><div> Peter<br></div><div>_______________________________________________<br></div><div>mythtv-users mailing list<br></div><div><a href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org">mythtv-users@mythtv.org</a><br></div><div><a href="http://email.mg.glenb.net/c/eJxMi81OxSAQRp8GdjYMf0MXLNz0PRhmetuEck1BE9_eaEx0-X3nHM51Lxy8lgwRDa7JAugj11R2j8GnGHYTGAnW1ZhIwRIzA-kzB0geqpBzElOCEAEwEUViJ4hcCa2rUMpSyyVNefNo0mnpMnXLx5xvyr0quym7tXPMsVyf85gfy_N-KLtd5WxX6b_w7Pvz-_wxXt6H3EPf-f9U3vz1XwEAAP__4TtDfQ">http://lists.mythtv.org/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users</a><br></div><div><a href="http://email.mg.glenb.net/c/eJxEyztSxDAMANDT2B2ZyF9t4YImFZxhR7K1iQdvgEQLw-0pKOjfa6XeqMVgpUDKc76gA7BbSS36hhwiJLxRqICYKEGjGi7s2NleImCAKuy9JESICSAjc-LmJedWOTtfgWiqdJdhwrwO2XnaRe0om-qH8c_GLcYt3_2tT_cf3fRrej9W45ZX6qPv6_Wln3oV7Z8PURV7lD_19DjlOE2Y_9NvAAAA___hKj9p">http://wiki.mythtv.org/Mailing_List_etiquette</a><br></div><div>MythTV Forums: <a href="http://email.mg.glenb.net/c/eJxEyTmuwyAQANDTQPcRM-wFxW98DxjGdiQvEcaRcvsUKVI-vZZpLs1ZyRl80CFFBJBrdoglarCYMJAxbCFx8jOm0mpjJvnIDqIF4moM-xjBeYAQa_W1GQ6hUQ1oCEpRVHbehNXLxkdVBw-55XWM5yXMv8BJ4DSf_d7V_h7reKmzL7LnL_7ui_slrP7dJwAA__-QDDbB">https://forum.mythtv.org</a><br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>i'm on hardwire 1gbit all around. realize this is exoplayer issue and i believe a difference with mpeg2 vs h264 or maybe its just larger files. but it's livable and for me not every seek just about 1 in 3 or 4 i would say. </div><div><span></span></div><img width="1px" height="1px" alt="" src="http://email.mg.glenb.net/o/eJwkx8GOhDAIANCvsbc1IBTw0I8pLeom6ibqTjJ_P4c5vl7aUnvmFAVFQWebENNWlHM30qzBtIQsOlcHFBBgamCefktGY2zhRCFmmAVRzV28U6j25jpRw1rHVo_YB4Z1j9PHM550leP9bM_r5_-O6x4Yvhz_rvUTAAD__zagKug"></body></html>
