[mythtv-users] Weird seeking problems

[Mark J. Small]

Hi Everybody,

Something weird just starting happening to me on the weekend.

On Saturday I noticed that my backend had rebooted itself while recording 
South Park at 1:00 in the morning.  Ever since then, I haven't been able to 
seek properly while watching recorded programs.  Sometimes, when I try to 
skip thirty seconds, it will immediately jump about 1 second.  At other time 
it will pause for about 5-10 seconds and then complete the 30 second skip.  

When it is trying to skip, the OSD in the top right corner will do an 
interesting thing.  The total recording length will slowly change.  Perhaps 
having an innaccurate total recording length messes with the skipping and 
jumping.

Also, it takes several minutes to resume watching a program from a bookmark.  
All I get is a black screen for a long time, and suddenly the program resumes 
from the bookmark.

I'm running mythtv 0.17 on Debian Sarge, linux 2.4.something on the backend.

Any ideas?

Mark
