What was the previous your version which worked?tamanaco wrote:Just updated to 0.82 and now I'm getting Fast Forward and Rewind problems with certain .avi files. When I press FF or RW I get an error message that flashes several times. The message reads "Media playback error - Sorry.GTVBox was unable to play this media". If I don't click OK while the message is flashing the screen turns black with the message still in the background. I
I see that filesize is quite small. Maybe you could share it with me?File size : 7.19 MiB
I was using 0.81 before and never ran into this problem, but I'm not sure if this problem existed with 0.81. The actual size of the .avi file is 716,171 KB as reported by Win7. I'll PM you the URL of the torrent.mcd2000 wrote:What was the previous your version which worked?tamanaco wrote:Just updated to 0.82 and now I'm getting Fast Forward and Rewind problems with certain .avi files.

Like I said, I did not try playing those same specific .avi files with 0.81. I only play movies once and usually delete them afterwards. I noticed that 0.82 fails to open the .avi file with the mediainfo details below. I also just tested this file with the aVia player using DLNA and it works fine. Is it possible for me to get a hold of the 0.81 .apk? This way I can uninstall 0.82 and test with 0.81. I also tested the files that had issues with FF & RW with aVia and instead of fast forwarding or rewinding the movie the player selects the next or previous movie in the list when I press the keys. So there might be something funny about those files. I will refrain from FF or RW when I play them. Btw, your player is ages ahead of this aVia thing... you get pretty icons, but indexing DLNA and actually playing the movie that you select is a crap shoot.mcd2000 wrote:Are you SURE this worked well before?tamanaco wrote: I was using 0.81 before and never ran into this problem, but I'm not sure if this problem existed with 0.81.

I see that in general it seek well (on my Sony Blu-ray), but sometimes it freezes. But this happens also with other players, not only with GTVBox.
Hm. The problem with this file is that it has XVid video with DIVX FOURCC. I such cases, GTVBox v. 0.80+ usually changes the FOURCC. Maybe that can be a problem.tamanaco wrote:Like I said, I did not try playing those same specific .avi files with 0.81. I only play movies once and usually delete them afterwards.

Title : aaa
I tried the file using v0.7.0 on my Revue and it worked fine with the DIVX FOURCC file. I also visited a friend over the weekend that also has a Revue. He was running v0.80 and this file worked fine on his Revue. We then updated GTVBox to v0.82, try to play the same file and it fail to play. Btw, the file plays fine with the Logitech Media Player.mcd2000 wrote:

You should test the file with v.0.70.
If you write me mail to [email protected]. I'll try to find this old build for you.

It's ok... is not critical. I just wanted to let you know that those specific files were not working with your player. I'm back to v0.82. I was able to watch the movie using the Logitech Player, so I currently have no need for a fix. Maybe in a future update you'll incorporate support those files. Thanks for your help.mcd2000 wrote: Try to change extension to something other then AVI or DIVX.
