My RPi is a single core CPU. I have both the video and audio codec licenses.

Interesting. I'm curious how well it would work on the various streams. If it would help, I can capture a few minutes of live TV, both in raw MPEG2 format, and transcoded with the Extend.

I apologize. I'm not knowledgeable enough to understand the above.

No need for apologies. What I mean is, I can capture a few minutes of some local (to me) live TV into files that you can download and try playing on your Pi. If it would help you, that is. I imagine I can share them on Google drive.

Oh! Dear Me. This post is my way of my learning which (if any) HDHomeRun device to buy. FWIW, I had movies recorded in a variety of formats, MP4, M4V, maybe some other and my Pi/LibreELEC/Kodi stack plays them without problem. These movies were recorded using a SonicWorks HomeWorx PVR and then the harddrive they were recorded on was moved over to the Kodi stack.

All 3 played without flaw. No burping, sound sound. Perfect. But I don't understand what I've done. This means I want the Extend or I do want the Connect?

This shows that you can use the Connect. The Connect is not capable of transcoding, and would give you a stream like none.ts. You need to Extend to get streams like heavy.ts or mobile.ts (these are the names of the two highest-resolution transcode profiles of the Extend).

Thank you.
I would close this post if there were a way to do that.

I wouldn't worry about it. It will eventually roll down the thread list. In the meanwhile, I'll leave these video clips available for now, in case they might help someone else.
