Hi Cats, I'm having some weird problems when playing a few mpeg2 recordings. I have two PCs, both running fc3 and xine version 0.99.3. iirc. On one of the computers playback works beautifully, but on the other I am encountering problems whenever I try to play longer (2hr.) largish (~1.6GB) mpeg2 recordings. When I try to play back the "bad" recordings the first half of the recording plays normally, but I am unable to jump past the middle of the recording. I can jump around in the first part of the recording, but attempting to jump to any point in the second half of the recording either makes the playback start over again from the beginning or makes the video all pixelated for a moment and then playback continues on from the same point. If I let the recording play I can watch the whole thing. These are mpeg2 recordings I made with MythTV (which has the same problems playing them). I'm just posting this Q here because I was hoping someone might have an idea why xine&myth on one pc can play them but xine&myth on another machine has these problems. Is there some kind of common file that they both reference that could cause these problems? thanks in advance, -Obie p.s.- I've been emailing someone else who also has the same problem, but his files are 2x as big and the problem occurs half as far into the recording. |

Are you sure the files are identical on both machines? Try an md5sum on each to check. James. |

I tried a md5sum on xine too, just in case, but unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the problem. Is there some extremal library or plugin that xine uses to decode mpeg2 files or which is used when skipping from one part of a mpeg2 file to another? thanks, -Obie |
