Seek Bug In Video Player, Crashing Bug In Photo Viewer

[Epicenter]

I wasn't really expecting these to get fixed since I heard it was a kernel and menu-only update. However, these are issues that are starting to bother me.

When playing a video, let's suppose you have a 5 minute AVI file and you let it play until you reach 1:00. If you push Fast Forward, you will start seeking from 0:00, not 1:00! If you are an hour into a movie and you want to go forward a minute, you must wait for the bar to go all the way from the start to where you are, and past that to the point you want. And since you have no point of reference, you have to blindly jump through the file as you do not know WHERE on that bar is the point where you were in the file!

If I go through some images in the photo viewer, the system will crash frequently. If I scroll through the exact same files again, it won't happen, and something else will crash the machine. Opening very large files or zooming in to view them at actual size will cause extremely slow operation followed by a near-immediate crash.

Just thought I'd bring these up, so maybe one day they'll be recognized and fixed. Thanks for listening.

I've had the problem with the video but not with many of my files. It's worked well with most of them.

For the few minutes I messed around with photo viewer (tried a real high res pic to for fun) I never had any problems. I do wish it had the clock settings though like in the video player. The speed is perfectly fine if your pics are 640x480, but when you get to 1600x1200+ its a little slow.

I experience the seeking problem on all video files. It's definitely an issue with the player, not the files.

I never experienced this problem. Hmmm...

Im using XVID and DivX 5 codec.

divx 5 is awesome compared to divx 6, 6 is so crummy and uses too my memory,/cpu

Same "problem" here, but more annoying is, that Mplayer sometimes stop playing after few minutes and I get black screen while top bar with buttons still works but mplayer doesn't respond anymore so I must restart gp2x. It happens only with long movies mostly after 15-20min of playing.

I'm much more a fan of XViD. Higher quality video at the same bitrate and filesize, and especially superior for anything animated or with large solid blocks of color. But yes, all my XViD content, DivX content and other codecs experience this same issue. It is absolutely the player.
