I have a myth backend which is recording & flagging commercials.
i've added the myth source in 2 different ways - one source is a with myth://[user:password]@mythbackend-ip source, and the other source is simply a shared folder (volume source).
in file mode, the myth:// source plays fine and interprets the commercial flags fine and skips commercials.
In library mode, it doesn't detect the edl info.
So, i renamed the show and put it into a shared folder and use xbmc regex to update the library in xbmc - this works fine. i manually created an edl file named same as the mpg file of the show. xbmc detects and interprets edl info and seems to skip commercials, BUT, it renders FF and REW inoperable. Also it doesn't seem to detect the edl information the same way that playing the video from the myth:// source does.
edl from the myth:// source is displayed as edl:b#1s#2
whereas
edl from the shared volume simply shows up as edl:c#.
i'm using SVN XBMC 9.11-RC1 R25756 on a mac...
i've tried same thing with SVN 9.11-beta 2 R25483 on a PC with same results.
also note that it almost seems as if it's completely redefined my ff/rew keys - pressing ff restarts the video, pressing rew ff's the video. also note that the time slider cannot detect the length of the video... & the end time is the current time. here's a pic:
Also when the show first starts playing, it flips from play to pause mode continuously about 20 times before it starts to play...
if i take the edl file out of the folder with the tv show, all above problems go away & video plays fine - just no commercial skips...
pastebin to a recent log where i tried to play and/or ff/rew the file:
http://xbmc.pastebin.com/m4a314fe6
the edl file is simply this (time in sec):
0.0 32.33 0
444.51 596.03 0
1130.03 1341.68 0
1770.90 1992.36 0
2465.57 2731.5 0
all white space is tabs
there's a thread in the development area that suggests this was fixed a while back - am i doing something wrong or is this still a problem?
thx, Jay
