This is a re-opening of my old Thread from 2019. I had this problem already in 2019 and stopped using Kodi since then.
Now I hoped that in Version 20.0.0 this problem would be fixed but it is still there.
When watching any High Definition Channel it stutters though I have a good connection.
With stuttering I mean that every few seconds a small Watch appears on the screen and counts for some seconds while the TV channel pauses.
It is completely unusable ! The problem is with all HD channels.
I can watch recorded HD films without any problem. I can even watch the intermediate stream files (the ts file or the remuxed wtv file) without any problem.
When I watch the live TV on the same machine where serverwmc runs there is also no problem. Only with remote machines.
The problem started with Kodi 18 Alpha. In Kodi 16 everything worked perfectly.
I tried it on all my 3 windows PCs and installed the same Version of Kodi 20.0.0 and have on all PCs the same problem.
All my PCs are on Windows 11 with latest Updates installed.
All non HD channels run smoothly without any problems !!
The Backend is always on the same Windows 11 PC (all Updates installed) with serverwmc Version 1.0.0.63 build 1260.
Attached is the Trace where I watched a High Definition Channel for half a minute.
