Hi, I am using openelec + XBMC's mythtv plugin. For the most part it works fine except for when commercials appear. Often times the stream will stall and I get a black screen and I have to stop the feed and reload the channel again. My cable tv provider is Verizon Fios which outputs mpeg2-ts streams. I have purchased and activated the mpeg2 decoder key for the rasp. pi.
I have two examples of the mpeg2-ts files that will stall playback during livetv and also when trying to playback the recordings either through the plugin or through "Videos" menu. Both files work when I try to play them on a regular x86 computer using xbmc using the mythtv plugin as well as "Videos" menu. Therefore I suspect that the problem isn't with the plugin but with something more fundamental in the xbmc raspberry pi build.
Can anyone else confirm the problem? Is there a potential fix for this?
Examples:
http://temp-share.com/show/FHKdR7yU6 (stalls around 15 seconds)
http://temp-share.com/show/HKdPG00CA (stalls around the 1:50min mark)
Thanks
