My left and right navigation keys usually allow me to slip forward or back when replaying a recording.
Sometimes they have no effect.
What can cause this?
TIA

Re: Fast Forward query
If it's on specific recordings, then I'd see if the recording rule "Play Group" has something other
than 'Use "Default" Playback Group Settings' in it. The groups live in frontend Settings->Video->
Playback Groups.

Re: Fast Forward query
Thanks. The path in my version is Advanced->Setup->TV Settings->Playback Groups
The only group present is "Default Group"

Re: Fast Forward query
Another possibility is that the recording has a missing or damaged seek table. You can try rebuilding it with:
Code: Select all
mythcommflag --rebuild -f /PATH/TO/FILE
Re: Fast Forward query
In this context, where is the file /PATH/TO/FILE likely to be and what form should it take?
e,g. filename.filetype like thing.msg
e,g. filename.filetype like thing.msg
Re: Fast Forward query
What I mean is the full path to the file (probably ending in .ts or .mkv) in your recordings directory.
Instead of using the "-f" option you can use the --chanid and --starttime options together, but these values are not all that easy to figure out, IMHO.

Re: Fast Forward query
You were spot on.
It only seems to happen with old monochrome films though.
It looks like I will have to rebuild each one's seek table before playing.
Thank you for resolving this for me.
