xVid not able to FF/Rew
I have a bunch of AVIs I've gotten from friends who use different programs to rip, encode their videos. They all end up as xVids.
When I watch them in SageTV in the Media Library I generally get 3 different outcomes. 1. The Timer goes from 0 to 60 (for a 1hr video) and I can FF/Rew without a problem 2. The timer is only at 0 and doesn't progress. If I FF/Rew it starts the video over again. 3. The timer starts at a seemingly random time (often 3hrs) and will advance to 4hrs. FF/Rew seems to work with these. Is there anyway to fix #2? It would be nice if #3 went from 0 to 60 but I can handle 3 to 4. BTW - All these videos play fine in WMP with the xVid codec installed. FF/Rew works for all of these. Ideas? Justin

Sounds like you're adding them directly to the media library from say another PC or drive. If sage sees the file when it's being copied, it'll show up as a 0 byte file, and sage thinks it's am ampty file. Try renaming the file slightly and rescanning the libraries, it SHOULD work then (I used to get #2 alot when I copied directly to a library folder, I fixed it by copying it to a temp folder, then using move to put it in the library, unless you're VERY unlucky, you'll get it in the library with the correct time after that).

+1 on that. Files that I unrar/unzip or copy across HD's/PC's always go into a Temp file. Then, once finished, the files are moved into the proper folder that Sage has access to.
Since I started doing that, I have never had an issue with Sage choking on an import.

I will definately take a look at that. That is primarily how I am importing my files. They are, through a script, being downloaded and copied from one PC to another. I guess I'll need to rework the script to copy to a temp, then move the completed file to its correct directory.
Unfortunately, since posting, I've been called away on business for a couple weeks, so I wont be able to try this until May, but I'll report back on what I find then. Thanx for your help Snuffy2
