[mythtv-users] DVB recording length not accurate

[Richard Holgate]

Hi,

I'm seeing some rather inconsistent recording lengths. Some recordings
display the correct length and seek forward and backward correctly,
however others display an incorrectly length - typically two and a
half minutes (displayed) for 30 minutes (actual). Seeking forward and
backward in such a recording is problematic - an attempt to seek
forward by 30 seconds translates into a much larger actual seek.
Bizarre thing is that it doesn't seem to affect all recordings. Not
sure what the underlying factor could be - haven't had enough time to
learn about it. Anyone else seen this? Any hints on how to debug it?

Fairly new Mythtv 0.17 setup (only 2 weeks old)
Gentoo Linux / Kernel 2.6.11-r4
Avermedia 771 DVB-T reciver card
AMD Athlon 2200+ / 512Mb

Thanks
Richard
