wrong time of movie duration/length

Post by emor »

I connect my brite-view media streamer to my computer using Wild media server.

Everything works fine, except for the timing. It shows an estimated time for each movie file (no matter what format - avi, mkv, etc.) at about 7 times longer than the actual length. I can also see that the time count (the seconds) is progressing at a much faster speed than actually 1 second after the other.

This happens both when transcoding and without transcoding.

I tried playing with the file positioning and stream positions, but of no avail, I can either get this x7 estimation or a 0000 zero estimation.

Any ideas on what I should change in configuration? I am almost certain I used to have it right at one time or another...

It's strange, you are sure without transcoding?

Settings - Transcoder - "Transcoding file parameters" - Movies - Max file size.

Yes, this happens both with and without transcoding.

As to max file size in transcoding, it's: 42949672950

Decreasing file size did not help

Perhaps you are using a individual device settings (Settings - Server - choose a device - Edit - Settings - "Subtitles, transcoding file" - "Transcoding file parameters")

I am indeed using specific device settings. I changed the settings in both places. Decreasing the file size does NOT help

If the time is correct in List [Movies] of the main form, then I think it's a feature of your device.

the timing is correct in list.

However when I use XBMC, the timing is correct on my device as well. This means that it's not a feature on my device, but rather something configured wrong on the wild media server.
Any more ideas?

Ok, my mistake. timing is correct when NOT using transcoding. Timing is wrong when using transcoding.

Any ideas?
