For a couple years now I have been downloading Podcasts from Revision3 and having the Tivo Desktop transfer them to my Tivo.
Since the last software update whenever I play them back on the Tivo, if I try to fast forward they will NOT playback after the attempt to fast forward. i.e. they play fine but once you touch the fast forward button, or rewind, or skip etc, the playback ends up skipping, showing a second or two of video and skipping ahead 5 minutes then another couple of seconds of video...
I have not changed any software on my PC recently
I'm running Tivo Desktop 2.7
I have even tried re transferring old podcast that I know I could fast forward before this problem started, and they also still display the same problem pretty much eliminating the source file being encoded incorrectly.
I contacted Tivo support and took all the information but then informed me that the are pretty much going to do nothing until more people report it?!
I'm hoping a few of you can take the time and try testing a few of the podcasts I'm having problems with.
--EDIT--
I can't post links because of my post count... so if you go to the revision3.com website and look at any of the shows that offer the RSS HD Quicktime download, Systm, Tekzilla, Diggnation, etc, you can download them and see if you have the same issue playing it on your S3 Tivo?
--EDIT--
These are the "HD" versions of the podcasts and they are the only versions that seem to experience the issue. I can download and transfer the SD versions and watch them, with fast forward and rewind, without a problem.
Tivo's answer was to download them via the online Tivo browser which of course does not offer these podcasts in HD, just solving the symptom, not the problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
