Strange behavior with video file

[CptKirk]

I rip all my DVDs to MP4 files using Handbrake. I also create .properties and .jpg files for the video. Been doing that for years with no problems.

But the last one I just did this week is acting strange.

When I start it up the timeline at the bottom shows 0:00:00 to 0:00:00 and the play triangle is all the way to the right side of the timeline showing 0:00 (see attached image).

It will play all the way through ok, but if I touch the FF/RW/Skip buttons it just jumps back to the beginning of the movie.

I've removed the video from my video folder, rescanned media, check SageTV and see it is gone, copied it back to my video folder, rescanned media, it is now back.

But it still keeps doing the same thing.

Is there a way to reset/fix this?

Thanks

When I had a problem with the video length of a video, I used the web UI to set the correct length. If this is the only video, it is a quick fix.

Hoping Josh can see/take a look at this...

Dug into this a bit more today after ripping two more DVDs and seeing the same problem.

I just did one more and immediately afterward grabbed the sage log files.

I noticed that all my rips and imports of .mp4 files before 7/6/21 are good. The four now after that have the 0:00:00 problem.

I update my system on 6/30/21 with:

- SageTV x32 9.1.9 to SageTV x32 9.2.5
- OpenDCT 0.5.29 to OpenDCT 0.5.32

I then updated my system on 7/16/21 with:

- SageTVTranscoder Plugin x64 1.0.5 (2021-04-30)
- Media Format Parser Plugin Windows x32 0.7 (2021-03-30)

I did a rip/import on 7/6/21 that went ok with no problems.

So I'm thinking something is happening during detection.

After I dropped the Equalizer (2014).mp4 file into my DVD directory I went to sagetv and did a Setup-Scan Imported Media. This is what the log file showed happened, with an error in MediaFormatParserPlugin.

I add two pictures I took inside SageTV.

Good format detection.jpg: You will see at the bottom in the Format section it shows Quicktime and a whole bunch of details.

Bad format detection.jpg: You will see at the bottom in the Format section it just shows Quicktime, and nothing else.

All four that have the 0:00:00 mess up are like the Bad format detection.jpg.

Nice to see someone else has finally seen this.

It cleared up for me and haven't seen the symptom until about a week ago. Restarted Sage and it went away. If it comes back I'll post any errors I see.
