Serviio

Hi

I tested your excellent software and must say I like it, but I have one huge issue. I cannot FFWD/REW in my recorded TV shows.
I have tried two different recording suites (Media Portal TV-Server and DVBviewer Recording service) and they both just grab the MPEG4 DVBstream and store it in .ts files.

Using DVBviewer Recording Service as a DNLA server i can FFWD/REW in the recorded files (albeit slowly in the beginning), but using Serviio I'm left with no ffwd/rew functionality.

My playback devices are: Samsung 46C6715 and Samsung C5500 Bluray player using the default renderer profiles. Either shows the same problem and works just fine with DVBviewer Recording Service as a DNLA server. So it must be something serviio is doing (or not doing

Merry christmas to all.

As a follow up I think Serviio reencodes these .ts files when accessed because I see heavy CPU load early on when watching recorded shows.
I don't think DVBviewer even supports reencoding so it probably just forwards them to the samsung units. Maybe that's the issue?

Can youpst ffmpeg -i for one of these files?

That's a strange output....

As far as I can tell it seems to think i MPEG2. As far as I know our Cable signal is MPEG4 and this is recorded directly of a HDhomerum with mediaportal TV-Server.
Does this output make you any wiser?

Thanks a lot for your help.
