Reset the git repository as per above but no change. Is anyone else able to skip adverts?

This was the same file and location played after the latest change. Any suggestions?

[Obijywk]

I tested this yesterday and it worked great! I pulled before the rebase though - the last commit I picked up from you was "Testing: copy the control verison to the connection version as it was hard-coded to 8."

I'm on ubuntu 12.04 (precise), x86-64. Here's what I tested:
- lists of recordings/channels look right
- watching recordings (with commercial skip) worked
- watching live tv worked

Hopefully that's a useful data point. Thanks for implementing this!

[rwats2011nz]

Is it possible to disable commercial skipping?

[dteirney]

@rwats2011nz, can you please create a ticket at http://trac.xbmc.org/ for the problem with seeking and attach a full debug log file there. Does the problem also exists when skipping normally?

The errors that you are seeing in the logs are the same as the errors some others have experienced when I was going through the forum a couple of nights ago. I'm not sure what has changed in XBMC dvdplayer that might affect that. It's possible there could be a bug in the Myth related seeking that only gets triggered in certain circumstances.

The problem only seems to affect some people. The large number of Seek attempts and large seek numbers looks suspicious.

There is no way to disable commercial skipping through configuration. If you want I can send you a patch to disable it through a small code change.

[rdoac]

Latest test. We watched the start of a recording it got to the first commericial and then dropped out. We were getting lots of jitter too..

Log here: http://pastebin.com/0F6aP1pc

[dteirney]

@rdoac, yeah that's a nasty looking log file. All the discontinuities and Seek statements will be causing a bit of havoc. If possible can you try playback of that same recording via SMB or off the local disc if XBMC and MythTV are on the same machine. For other users that worked which means it is definitely related to the transmission of data via the myth:// protocol.

Please raise a trac ticket and attach that log file. The discontinuities looks like the main cause of problems.

[rwats2011nz]

I'll open a ticket later today and add these log entries. I'd definitely like the patch to disable commerical skipping as well as its kind of impacting the WAF at the moment...

Thank you!

[dteirney]

@rwats2011nz, http://s3.teirney.net/xbmc/patches/turn-...skip.patch

[dteirney]

@rwats2011nz, not sure if seeking and playback has been fine with tsp42's PVR Addon for you prior to updating to Myth 0.25. I noticed one difference in the file transfer area in tsp42's version of libcmyth. I've just pushed another update to my repository that should match the FileTransfer mode in tsp42's PVR Addon. No idea if it will improve anything for you but it's worth a shot to try and narrow down the area that might be different (assuming seeking was working for you with the Addon).

[rwats2011nz]

No luck with the latest git pull. Still stalls on auto commercial skip.

Skipping manually 30 second or 10 minutes seems to be working fine. In the log below I stepped forward just before the auto skip kicks in..

[rwats2011nz]

Applied the patch and have disabled commerical skipping. A bit of a pain but at least it fully usable now. Thanks for you help.

[dteirney]

@rwats2011nz, the following change makes auto commskip seeking as fast as normal seeking for me. http://s3.teirney.net/xbmc/patches/comms...shed.patch

Can you try and let me know if it works for you as well. Not sure what has changed in dvdplayer, will need to investigate more.

[dteirney]

I've pushed in the Myth 0.25 protocol related changes to XBMC master now.

I'll be looking at the commercial skip seeking problem that others have been having this week.

Thanks everyone for your help. If you do have any Myth 0.25 protocol related problems either raise them here or create a trac ticket.

[rdoac]

Is it possible to do a patch against previous versions too? I have to go back to a tree from mid feb if I want to watch my slingbox. I would love to be able to patch in the differences and use mythbox (now updated to 0.25 and working with your tree) with it?

[rdoac]

Wanted to report back, we watched a recording last night using Mythbox git, which used cmyth for playback. The commercial skips were firing in the wrong place and jumping 7 mins. I am going to apply the patch and see if it's better. (No Commercial Skip would be better). Commercial skip fired if we clicked play or play+skip.
