OSD Watched bar bug?

[Crowdx42]

Anyone see this, when I watch a show and flick forward and then back, the grey bar showing watched keeps ahead of the actual place indicator. So the viewed grey bar stays ahead of the actual watched.
No biggie but wondering if anyone else has seen this, would it be PVR 350 related or is it just my issue

I have seen this and reported the bug. I first noticed the problem when I watched a program to which I had applied a start offset. The watched bar seemed to track the offset into the file while the arrow (and time) seem to track the offset into the program (i.e., the watched bar led the time by 1 mintute).

I, too, have a PVR-350 but I don't see how this could be related to the PVR. It could be a client issue, but I don't know.

Yes it was on the client, what I found fixed it was to disable PVR 350, reload the file with software decoder and then re-enable the 350. I think though, it was the reloading of the file which fixed it. I too always have padding on recordings.
Slightly annoying though

Well again the watched bar has been doing this, gets kinda confusing.
Also fidget, when you fast forward to you have a slight delay between button press and the skip, mine has a slight pause between each skip, so if I hit the button multiple times I have to wait till the skips catch up to see where the show is. With software decoder it was instant, is this a side affect of the PVR 350? Or is this a personal setup issue?

I haven't noticed anything, but I haven't been looking. About how long is the "slight pause" that you see? It wouldn't surprise me to find that it was due to the size of the buffer inside the PVR-350.

[Crowdx42]

Yes, that is what I am thinking, I am thinking that the OSD is running in sync with live tv and so there is that slight pause between button press and seeing it work.

I just checked my setup and I don't notice any delay when using FF and RW. Do you have software decoding enabled? Mine is set for hardware only decoding.

In case more feedback is desired... I see it on the client and server, but only with files that have start padding. I'm not using a 350.

Ok.. I set it to just hardware decode and this has helped the slight pauses.
As far as the viewed bar showing wrong info, it happens a lot when I watch a show that has started maybe 10-15 mins into the show, is shows about 10 mins more as watched than what I have actually viewed. Tonight when I was watching Frasier, at the end of the show it jumped straight into the middle of Scrubs, had to rewind the whole way back to the begining of the show.
