[mythtv-users] Skipping Issues

[Jon Heizer]

Hey all,

I have been having an issue since I rebuilt my myth machines a few weeks 
ago.  When ever I go to skip forward when watching a recording it will 
work fine until I have passed about the 30 minute mark or so.  After 
that skipping 30 sec or 10min will result in the video moving forward a 
sec or two, but the time showing it has moved the correct amount.

I am running knoppmyth R5.5 on my FE and MBE.  On my laptop I installed 
ubuntu repository's mythfrontend and was able to skip ok.  Since it was 
a more recent version I just compiled .21fixes as of a few hours ago on 
my backend and frontend and am still having the issue.

The seek table seems to have ~7k entries/hour/recording.  I have run DB 
checks and optimize_mythdb and both come back clean. 

When I did the reinstall, my hardware and setup changes were as follows:
    My main frontend is a completely new machine (X2 5600+ 2GB Ram)
    The master backend is the old frontend hardware (Athlon XP 2000+ 
1.5GB Ram)
    DB has been moved out of the MBE and on to a separate machine
All machines are connected via GBit wired lan.

At first I thought moving the DB was part of the cause of my issues so I 
have turned off things like starting commflag when a recording starts, 
but it is still happening.  It happens to SD, HD, before the hardware 
change and afterwards.  Basically anything that is over 30 minutes long 
is effected.

I have tried to dump my brain here but I am sure I am forgetting things 
this late so feel free to pry more.  Thanks for any help you can 
provide.  Not being able to watch anything over 30 minutes is becoming a 
pain.  Off to bed to fight another day.
