[mythtv-users] UK DVB-T radio timing problems since 0.25

[John Veness]

Hi,

I've just updated to MythTV 0.25 (previously 0.24) using the Mythbuntu 
packages, on Ubuntu 11.10. I didn't change the underlying Ubuntu version 
at the same time.

Since 0.25, playing back programs on UK DVB-T (Freeview) radio channels 
shows screwy timecode problems. For example, a 35 minute recording plays 
as a 29 min 11 seconds recording. That is, the total length shows as 35 
minutes, but the current position marker will change from zero to 
29min11 before stopping. During that time it will play the entire 35 
minute recording at normal speed. In other words, the current position 
marker is lagging behind real time.

Also, when skipping forward or backward, e.g. by 30 seconds or by 10 
minutes, there is a noticeable delay of a second or so before the skip 
takes place and before the OSD pops up. Doing lots of skipping feels a 
bit like wading through treacle, like it is having problems finding the 
position in the file to seek to.

Both of these things were fine on identical hardware and identical 
underlying Ubuntu version with MythTV 0.24. Note that these problems 
occur both with new recordings made with 0.25 and old recordings made in 
0.24.

Before I report this as a bug, I wondered if anyone else had seen these 
problems or knew of a fix?

Cheers,

John
