Recovered Video Problem
I recently had a drive go bad but was able to recover the data, including my SageTV recordings. The problem I'm having now is when I try to play a recovered recording in SageTV the "stop" window pops up immediately. If I then choose to restart the video the "stop" window pops right back up and I can't seem to get the video to play.
I should note that I can play these videos fine in WMP and that all new SageTV recordings (since recovering the system) play normally. I tried deleting the associated comskip files no no effect. Any ideas on what's keeping the recovered files from playing in SageTV? Thanks, MD2020 |

Can't answer other than it sounds like something got corrupted, maybe when the drive went out. Probably the infamous wiz.bin
I'm not sure where it saves all the data as far as what tells sage how long a recording is, entrance and endpoints of different files, I believe wiz.bin does but I may be wrong. |

Sounds more likely that you're using a different decoder in Sage that can't handle the recordings...

Thanks for the tip about the wiz.bin file. It sounds like that could be the problem because Sage is acting like it doesn't know the duration of any of the videos I'm playing. The problem I'm having is symptomatic of Sage not knowing the playback details of the files and I wasn't aware that it recorded that information in a file separate from the videos themselves.
As for the decoder being different I'm pretty sure that's not the problem. I'll try playing one of the files as an imported video and see how that works. I would think that if it's not a decoder problem then it should work. Thanks. |
