Ok,

problem solved! The function I was looking for comes from the extension/plugin "Seekbar" and in addition the following lines were missing in my keymap.xml file's "Infobar..." and "Mediaplayer..." sections (guess the keymap.xml has been updated in May/June and these entries got lost):

<key id="KEY_LEFT" mapto="seekBackManual" flags="m" />
<key id="KEY_RIGHT" mapto="seekFwdManual" flags="m" />

It was still possible to run "Seekbar" by long-pressing "<<" or ">>".

Hi

all EMC functionallity is build in the image, so maybe install EMC=double=trouble?

I was'nt aware of that. Are really all functions that EMC brings fully integrated in OpenPli 2.1 and there is really no need to install something in addition?

I just flashed a fresh OP 3.0 and it seems that the "search" function like in my 2.1 image from May is also not available in 3.0's integrated "Media Center". When using the arrow butons, only simple forward/backward spooling with 2x/4x/8x... and so on is available. In my old image a can choose from several options like how many minutes to "jump" and things like that when using the arrow buttons.

I'm a little it confused atm.

Hi,

I've discovered the same issue after updating OpenPli 2.1 on my ET9200 in mid/late June and did not find any solution for the problem yet.

The "search" function that was available on left/right arrow buttons while playing recordings (I'm using EMC as media center) is not available after updating the image. I have an image backup dated mid May and there it is still available.

Does anybody know how to fix this or at least what that function is called exactly and if it is something that a plugin provides or if it is/was a function of OpenPli itself?

Does it still work for someone on newer images?

Best regards,

Hello MiLo,

thanks for working on a fix for this issue! It seems that the basic problem with the recordings is now fixed. I did three recordings from the "problematic" channels (RTL Germany, VOX, RTL II) today and everything looks good when winding during playback, even above 12x/16x.

However, the other problems mentioned - winding hangs/slideshow when inital winding speed above 12x and heavy artefacts while winding back during playback of a channel/event that is still activly recording, which is basically the same "effect" as when winding back in timeshift mode - are still there. I think we have already discovered, that this happens out of other technical reasons.

Do you think there is a chance to improve/fix the other winding issues also?

Best regards

Hello MiLo,

one user at CT Forums found that deleting the .ap alone does the trick. After deleting this file, the recording that formerly could not be spooled above 8x will immediatly be "spoolable" at all speeds. Also, using "reconstruc" will always help.

Attached you will find a set of .ap/.sc-files, before and after reconstruct. before it "hangs" at 12x/16x when inital wind speed was 4x.

Channels on Astra 19.2E where the problem usually occurs:

RTL Germany SD Astra 1L H 1.089 27500 3/4 12188
Vox Germany SD Astra 1L H 1.089 27500 3/4 12188

and there are other channels also. If needed, I will write down more.
