I never had this issue with Dharma, but about 10% of episodes do this in Eden.

I'll be watching a downloaded episode in the familiar split .rar, .r00, .r01, etc. format, and towards the end (usually about 80%), playback suddenly stops., Any episode that vies me this problem is packed properly, unpacks fine, and can be played back in the unpacked form without issue.

One huge reason for my lving XBMC so much is its' ability to detect and play these packed shows, and it's a b it of a pain to have to stop a show jsut to unpack it, then delete the compressed files to avoid dupes. It also breaks the flow of watching a good show. I also have no-so computer literate housemates adn they get flustered over having to stop watching until i can fix it.

Does anyoen else experience this?

Can you reproduce successful playback in Dharma with the exact same files?

I cannot.

I just tried it on my laptop with Dharma on it, and it also stops on the last episode I had this problem with. Though I had never experienced this before with Dharma, at any time. This leads me to think that the 'groups' have changed their methods.... Is there anything in my pastebin that gives a hint as to what is happening? I also had a looksee at my Dharma log and the error listed below is not present...

When teh playback stops, i get no error, no crash. It simply stops.



Okay isee at line 497:

Code:
17:58:45 T:4496 WARNING: XFILE::CRarDirectory::GetDirectory: rar lib returned no files in archive B:\Game of Thrones\Game.of.Thrones.S02E07.720p.HDTV.x264-IMMERSE\game.of.thrones.s02e07.720p.hdtv.x264-immerse.rar, likely corrupt

But a re-check in my BT client came out fine,, and it also unpacked fine, as I said.

I've had other reports on the boards here where .mkv files are stopping playback randomly. It seems ffmpeg based players are having issues with certain .mkv files and reporting read errors in the files. Non ffmpeg players seem to be able to play these same files without issue. This issue sure sounds similar.

From the log:
Code:
18:01:13 T:2208   ERROR: ffmpeg[8A0]: [matroska,webm] Read error at pos. 1286416550 (0x4cad28a6)

I've seen the same issue... this just started happening for me, a lot, with 11.0 release.

Hm yes about 90% of my videos are .mkv. At least it's not just me. I don;t recall ever getting this with Dharma, though, and I've been on the 720p/mkv bandwagon since I first stated using XBMC. Though I only get this with the compressed, split files.

It'd be nice if XBMC gave the option to unpack a file from the GUI. I know it can, as it asked em to unpack a Frontline episode last week, when I was updating my library. Even jsut a temporary unpack, ad let BXMC delete the fiel when playback is done.

I'm finding most of my MKVs are not playable all the way through. I suspect the problem is NOT with the MKV but with XBMC and/or ffmpeg... I did not have this problem in 10.0, at all.

The original poster said that it also happened when they tried the exact same files on Dharma.

That leads me to believe it's a change in the files that has caused incompatibility with ffmpeg across multiple versions.

Is this not also the case for you?

Cheers,
Jonathan

Yes, it does appear to be an ffmpeg player issue. Unfortunatley no one has been able to provide a sample file that exhibits this behaviour. Nothing I've tried fails to play all the way through.

Well the one that stopped, leading me to posting was Games of Thrones s02e07 720p.

But as I said, i never got this with Dharma at any time, but about 10 times with Eden... All i can guess is that there was some sort of change in the way those releases are packed. Since Livin also never had this problem with Dharma, maybe this is the case...

Overall, it's still somewhat rare, so I can put up with it.
