[mythtv-users] MythTV Default player skips a few seconds ahead

[Nick Cappelletti]

Hello,

I've been using MythTV for about 4 years now, and have absolutely  
loved it.  My Myth box has been running Debian ever since the  
beginning, and I have always used the debian-multimedia.org  
repositories.

What I have been doing lately is downloading Vidcasts onto Myth and  
then manually adding them to the database using the  
myth.rebuilddatabase.pl script.  It works great except for the fact  
that the default player will cut off the first 5 - 10 seconds of the  
video, but still show the video as starting from time stamp of 0  
seconds on the progress bar.  I can then 'rewind' the video and start  
it from the absolute beginning of the video with the progress bar  
still showing me 0 seconds at the beginning.

I've also tested this with Mythvideo.  I usually just use MPlayer as  
my default player for both DVD's and videos, but I wanted to see if  
this was a problem with just playing recorded shows, but concluded  
that it wasn't.

I've searched the MythTV wiki and did some googling to no avail.  If  
anyone has a solution to my problem or is having the same issues,  
please let me know.

I'm sure I'll get a response that will fix my issue, and then feel  
like a complete idiot. :)

Thanks!

Nick
