Hi!
I've been using MythTV as my media center for at least 10 years, but as the DVB-support in Myth is kind of hard to configure and manage I'm converting my setup to Tvheadend with Kodi and pvr-hts as frontends.
Everything works nice and I love how easy Tvheadend is to manage and configure... and Kodi is perfect for my frontend needs!
However, I've run into one issue I really can't solve and understand!
When playing back a HD recording in Kodi through the pvr-hts addon it is really choppy, like only showing a couple of frames before halting every other second and no sound at all. If I pause for a while and let the buffer fill upp I can get maybe 5-10 seconds of stutter free playback.
Everything else works as it should:
- Playback of SD recordings works like a charm
- Live TV through the pvr-hts addon works for both HD and SD channels
- Playing back all kinds of recordings through Tvheadend's web interface and VLC works
I can even playback the HD recordings stutter free if I map the recordings folder in kodi videos and play them....
The cpu usage of both the backend and frontend are low when trying to play the recordings, and I have gigabit ethernet on both.
I really can't explain why the stuttering occurs! If I solve this problem my setup will be perfect!
Is there a difference in the protocol between tvheadend when streaming a recording instead of live tv?
Doeas anyone have an idea of what's causing my problems?
Best regards,
Hlund
