4.9 SmartSkip & Time Constraint Problem

[Savage1701]

I'm having a problem with BTV 4.9 continuing to generate/process SmartSkip on recorded shows outside of its time constraints. Anyone else experience this? Is there a fix or am I just making a simple mistake? My system is old enough that it causes playback stuttering when both actions are going on (It's a 3.2GHz P4 478 system).

Maybe it's the push I need to upgrade, but I'd rather not at this time since every other aspect of the server works great. And if I can just get the time constraints to work at night that's all I need.

I've tried changing constraints from the web interface and the BTV interface. Neither one makes a difference.

Thanks for any help.

This is one problem I've never experienced with BTV except when I first started using it. I always thought the constraint setup was a little disleptic - exact opposite times of what I expected.

I loaded 4.9 build 6185 last weekend and smartskip runs like clockwork (except in 4.9 it's much less accurate than it was before).

You seem to have been using BTV long enough to know the settings, but all I can think of is to double check the smartskip settings and make sure they didn't accidentally get changed to generate immediately. I have had some upgrade instances where settings were set back to defaults.

Did you check your clock and make sure it didn't get changed from AM to PM? (only mentioned it because it happened to me lately on a windows install).

Where do I get build 6185 ? I can only find build 6073 which is what I am running.

BTW, thanks for the clock suggestion; mine is set correctly.

If you have a link to 6185 I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.
