Hi, I installed the Alpha version of Kodi 17 today to test it out and I notice at the moment that ArgusTV isnt listed in the available PVR Clients. Does anybody know if this is just temporary, or is this the end of support for Argus TV (I really hope not :-( )

I don't think there has been any development on this one for best part of a year now. I was holding out for series support in the Argus addon but eventually just ditched windows altogether and got MythTV set up which is working really well, stable and for me not as difficult to set up as people seem to think!
Unless you want an indefinite wait I would just switch to something being actively developed... take a look at the various pvr subforums and you can see which are most active..

Hello All!
Has anyone tried Kodi 17 with the ArgusTV Client?
From my experience, everything is working properly except the fact that Kodi creashes when exiting...I don't know if this is a general issue that happens with the other PVR Clients too or not...
Feedback are welcome!

Hi all,
I am also experiencing the issue of Kodi crashing upon exiting when Argus TV is enabled.
But more worryingly, the live TV streams / recorded programs no longer play smoothly in Krypton. The video stutters / is choppy. Everything worked smoothly in 16.1. I am assuming that ffmpeg has changed how it handles MPEG-TS. Or perhaps something to do with deinterlacing (set to auto, as always). Can anyone else reproduce this?

So I am now using the GTX 950. Still, in Kodi Krypton both Live TV streams and, as I have now discovered - 4K HEVC content do not playback smoothly. Kodi is reporting that it is using HW decoding, as expected, but there are consistently dropped frames (obvious to the eye) making the playback look very jerky.
Live TV streams play perfectly fine on Kodi 16.1, and I can play 4K HEVC with MPC-HC (LAV Filter) completely perfectly on the same machine.
Any ideas?
