Full Version: Strange effect with addon Enigma2 / VU+ on Amazon FireTV!

I recently installed Kodi 14 on my AFTV and were really satisfied with performance and functionality. But after some playing around I found an issue with zapping while looking LiveTV in full screen. As usual, one expect a black screen when switching to the next channel (with remote up/down) until the new picture is stable. But not with my AFTV. I get a reproducible screen like that:

Normally, I can zap 2-3 times in full screen, then Kodi crashes and I'm back at Android. What software is responsible, Kodi or the addon?
Just to mention: Same effect was with Gotham 13.2. PVR Client is "VU+ / Enigma2 Client" with VU+Duo2 /VTI+.
I got the exact same issues with the VU+ Duo2 and my AFTV - no matter if I use Kodi 14, 14.1, XBMC 13.2 or SPMC.

I get the same with DVBViewer.
The addon only provides the streaming URL to Kodi, so I'm pretty sure it does not have anything to do with it.
This is a known issue, as you should know (you've reported it and got a response from Koying). See:

The interesting thing is, that PVR Simple IP TV AddOn does not make this effect.

It is based on a combination of FireTV an AddOn and for sure it has to be fixed normally otherwise.

Maybe Jörg can check the code, there must be a difference to PVR Simple IP TV relating this effect.

Thanks in advance.
