New releases 1.11.2 (helix) and 1.9.22-32 (gotham) should fix the transition issue. Let me know.

Really , the stuttering caused by reading ahead is strange. I cannot reproduce here but with your help we will close it definitively. Since xbmc frodo some guys have changed the behavior of live player. Now player breaks playback immediatly once received zero byte. By chance old cmyth addon handles sadly the mythtv buffer returning never 0. Since the new addon i made an effort to handle gracefully this stuff , but it was not counting changes of behavior from xbmc. Using internal demuxing, addon has its own buffer and it handles correctly the "no more bytes" retrying to read until timeout. Using xbmc demuxing you have no chance to read ahead because player stop playback immediatly. This behavior is stupid for live playback !
So now seems we found the root cause, and probably 1.11.2 and 1.9.22-32 fix it.

@janbar

Looking good.

Tested 1.11.2 on Helix using my main mythtv server (0.28pre).

Successfully running 3 frontends (Windows 7, Mythbuntu 64Bit, Raspbmc) at the same time over wifi watching HD or SD with no issues including transition of programs.

Demux of MPEG-TS is not enabled, previously I had pixellation and drop out to main kodi screen, which enabling Demux solved.

Streams tested DVB-T/T2, DVB-S/S2 no issues with any stream HD or SD with or without Demux enabled.

I have played around with the settings in the Systems menu, but no luck. I tried tweaking the sound delay in video menu, but I just can't get it to work right. Should I check some other settings first to make the audio get in sync with video? I am looking for any helpful advice here.

I have two mac minis with Kodi running on them. If I have a channel open on one I can open that same channel on my other mac mini. However if I try to select a different channel it just sais channel unavailable. So at the moment I can watch TV on both Mac Mini's but it has to be the same channel both can't be different. I can't remember having this issue with the previous versions? I had a look through and couldn't find this issue being mentioned. Apologies if it has already.

I have missed something easy here?

Please post a debug log.

However, I am guessing that you have more than one tuner, each with different video sources on your mythtv-backend, you need to change channel group in Kodi to that of another video source. At present pvr.mythtv does not automatically switch between different video sources for the same channel number.
