Hi

Been using the great server WMC with kodi for years. Just recently ITV and channel4 channels in the UK have been stuttering, freezing and timing out almost immediately. Other channels such as BBC work fine. I have tried older versions of server wmc and Kodi 17 but all have same problem. Also tried directly in WMC to make sure it's not the signal but that works fine.

Any help to keep my family using server wmc and kodi would be great

Thanks

Do recordings on these channel have trouble playing in kodi, or is it just live tv?

Thanks for getting back to me.

Just live TV

I don't see a problem in the swmc log, so for now I assume its happening on the kodi side, which I suppose makes sense given your history but it doesn't hold out much hope in getting a solution.  If you want to pursue it further, on the debug tab in swmc uncheck 'debug temporary files' then play a live stream from one of these channels.  Let it go for a while past the time-out, then stop the stream.  In your recordiings folder, look in tempswmc folder and find the .ts file.  Play that file back in some other player and see it plays past the point where kodi hanged.  

Don't forget to reset the deletion of temporary files back to true when you are done with the experiment.

Thank you for the response. I will test as soon as I get chance.

I've tested again today. The video started to break up and eventually stopped. I left it go for a while.

when I watched the .ts file it appeared to stop at the point where it began to breakup.

Does this help identify the problem?

Thanks

The last thing to try is to play the ts file with some other player like vlc.  If vlc plays it fine, then you can submit it as a bug to kodi, (but don't say it came from wmc/swmc).
