Hi, I tried openelec 2.99.1 and the latest xbian OS on my new raspberry pi.
My purpose is simply streaming tv channels from my Dreambox dm800se to raspberry with xbmc.
I'm having issues trying to stream HD channels using xbmc as a tuxbox client (I tried also Live TV / PVR VU+ addon with the same results):

for some reason all the hd channels stream OK only for 3 - 5 seconds. After it automatically returns to channels list and playback stops.
This issue is the same using openelec or xbian, and is the same using wired or wireless network connection.
I found it is caused by insufficient/slow buffering.

My raspberry is not overclocked.
Playback of sd channels looks OK, even if the buffer indicator is also almost full.
Xbmc version is 12 RC3.

Is it possible to do what I need or raspberry hadware is inappropriate for that?
Thanks

if i remember rightly, the stream will be MPEG.. Have you bought the MPEG codec for the PI?

[zoltan]

Yes, but the codec mpeg2 is used only for sd channels. Anyway I bought it.

Theese are errors I got trying to playback...
Is it a OMXPlayer problem?

[gchendry]

Zoltan, I'm having the exact same problem on every xbmc plaform, even our log files are the same except for the "cannot parse input stream"

Try it over and over, about the 3rd or 4th try I get it to keep playing.

Can not add anything but speculation, I hope that this thread continues until resolved.
