Commented Unassigned: Video freezes [1852]

$

I am running version 2.3.15. I have MCEBuddy processing all of my .WTV files using the .WTV unprocessed profile to remove commercials using Comskip. I then watch the .WTV files on my Linksys DMA2100 Media Center Extender.
Most of the time, this works fine. However, occasionally, the video will not play back properly. It will freeze for 3 or 4 seconds, play for 3 or 4 seconds, freeze for 3 or 4 seconds, and so on. Sometimes, I get the "Network Issue" warning from Media Center. If I try to play the original .WTV file (untouched by MCEBuddy), it plays fine.

Also - there appears to be an issue with the skip ahead and skip back functionality - particularly as you approach the end of the show. It's as if the player is doing some sort of math against the original length of the program and not the shortened, commercials removed format.

Okay open profiles.conf scroll down the section where it says [WTV]
Now look at the line
```
ffmpeg-video=-ss 3 -vf yadif=0:-1:1,hqdn3d -vcodec libx264 -crf 22 -map 0:v -sn
```

Change it to
```
ffmpeg-video=-ss 3 -vf yadif=0:-1:1,hqdn3d -vcodec mpeg2video -crf 22 -map 0:v -sn
```

Also change the line:
```
order=handbrake,ffmpeg
```

to

```
order=ffmpeg,handbrake
```

The second line tells it to use ffmpeg first and then fallback to handbrake. Handbrake does not support mpeg2 hence the switch over. Infact if your extended cannot play back H264 video then I would remove handbrake all together and leave it as

```
order=ffmpeg
```
