Stuttering bluetooth sound - ripper17 - 2024-10-08

Hi all, 

thanks for a great add-on.

I'm using Kodi on my Android phone, latest version, including the TVHeadend Add-On. All is working fine if I'm watching TV with the phone-speakers or with USB-C headphones. If I use my bluetooth headphones instead, I'll get a ton of stuttering most of the time. In some (rare) cases, the stuttering goes away after a couple of seconds, but usually the stuttering will remain present.

Even stranger: if I start watching TV with the bluetooth headphones and then switch to the USB-C headphones, the stuttering will remain. If I start watching with the USB-C headphones, there's no stuttering present.

This happens with three different bluetooth headphones (of different brands), so I'd argue that it's not the fault of the headphones, especially since this does not happen when watching TV shows or movies on the same device. It also does not happen if I grab the streaming URL from my TVHeadend server and play the stream in VLC on the same device (with the same bluetooth headphones).

I've tried re-installing Kodi and the Add-On, cleared the cache (multiple times), had a look at the settings, ... nothing works. It's like 95% of the time I get this issue, and some time it works. 

Any advice, or any logs that I can provide that might be useful?

Moved over to https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues/25816, where it's probably more appropriate?
