.mpg file loops forever

[chico]

Hi Erik -

I've been testing version 81_057 (after our tuning discussions) and I found a video file that comskips fine in 81_053 but seems to enter an endless loop in 81_057.

At the end of the video file, 81_053 shows this activity:

Code: Select all

But with version 81_057, this occurs at the end of the video file:

Then comskip just keeps on chugging, going back into the video file and looping forever.

Sorry to be the guy who always points out problems, although that's the tester's fate, I guess. But, as always, I'm willing to help any way I can.

I've uploaded the logs in two folders on your server in the "chico" folder: bilko_053 and bilko_057. Please let me know if you want me to upload the video file as well (it's about 845 MB).

(I just noticed there's a comskip update, 81_058. I tested with that version and this video file fails on _058 as well).

Regards,

chico

What is your setting for the live tv retry in comskip.ini?

[chico]

What is your setting for the live tv retry in comskip.ini?

Both the correctly functioning _053 and incorrectly functioning _057 have the same values:

live_tv=0 ; set to 1 if you use parallelprocessing and need the output while recording
live_tv_retries=4 ; change to 16 when using live_tv in BTV, used for mpeg PS and TS
dvrms_live_tv_retries=300 ; only used for dvr_ms

But this fails on a already recorded file yes?

[chico]

But this fails on a already recorded file yes?

Yes. And yesterday it failed on a newly recorded file too. Infinite loop.

Would you like me to upload the video file?

[erik]

Yes, please do

[chico]

Yes, please do

I uploaded "bilko.mpeg" to the "chico" folder on your ftp server, but my ftp app says the upload halted with 30 seconds left on an 886 Mb transfer, and the connection timed out. I haven't been able to log into your server since then. So maybe the file made it? Please check and let me know if you got it, if not I can re-upload assuming I can log in to your server...

[erik]

File did make it.
Can reproduce the problem.
Thanks
