Episode says it's 793 minutes

Not sure why but one of my episodes of Expedition Unknown says it’s 793 minutes long. It doesn’t appear to take up any more space but skipping takes longer and it’s hard to see where the commercials are because the full episode time thinks it’s much longer than it is. Still plays and the DVR developed here is the best I’ve tried for hdhomerun. Just trying to spot bugs to squash. If you need any more info let me know. Thanks!

Thanks. All other recordings are fine?

Sometimes mpeg2 broadcasts have a “timestamp reset” which can confuse our duration detection logic. Can you try opening the file via VLC or other software to see how long it says it is?

This is the first recording I’ve had with this issue. VLC shows 13:13:29.

Ok so VLC has the same problem.

This is a known issue and a tricky one to fix, but it’s on my radar.

I am having this issue on another recording and this one will not play properly. Also, everytime I open the recording again it adds time. It’s up to 4300 minutes at this point. Not sure if there’s anything I can do but wanted to let you all know. I’m absolutely loving the service and can’t wait for more improvements and the addition of iOS. Thanks!

Do you still have any of these recordings, or did you delete them already?

I don’t delete a whole lot unless I need the space so I’m sure I can probably find one.

Can you try the beta app (Beta testing next Apple TV release) and see if it fixes the issue on those old recordings

The two episodes of Expedition Unknown I remembered easily were still 793 minutes. The episode of Live PD that I had that was showing 39000 minutes shows the correct 180 minutes in the beta.

Can you find one of those episodes on the web ui, then right click copy image address on the preview image. Change the URL end part from preview.jpg to mediainfo.json and post the results

Interesting. Could you maybe upload that recording to google drive or similar, and send me a link to it?

Messaged. Sorry the first message was blank, I added a reply with the link.
