Video freezes after skipping commercials?

[btrcp2000]

Running showanalyzer, latest sage beta, and latest sagemc. About 3 out of 4 times auto-skipping commercials, I have to hit the skip back button to get playback moving again. Sometimes the picture freezes, but the audio continues. Any thoughts?

Happening only on the server and Sage client, but not the MVPs?

Reading your sig, I see you have PowerDVD listed. When I tried to use the PowerDVD decoder in an attempt to get embedded digital closed captioning to work, I saw the same problem. I went back to pureVideo, and the freezing went away.

I have the exact same problem when using Video Overlay Renderer but the problem goes away if I use VMR9.

So try using VMR9 for your Video Renderer and see if that problem goes away for you too.

Always was using VMR9. Purevideo seems to have fixed it, and simultaneously lightened my wallet of $20. I must have installed the trial a million years ago when I began my sage odyssey, because the trial wouldn't run. I forget why I started using powerdvd, but it had something to do with purevideo causing a problem elsewhere. Funny how it all comes full circle, can't wait to see what crops up next. My sage server is one step away from becoming a boat in terms of having to throw money at it every other day for some silly thing.

If you see my in signature that I am using PowerDVD 7 for my decoder and like I posted earlier I only have that issue when I am using Overlay.

With VMR9 I have no freezing issue at all.

Hope the new decoder works out for you.
