I am running Kodi on a Raspberry Pi B+ using the openElec distribution. I am using TCP to completely control the Kodi system. That is working fine. The start logo shows the system to be Gotham. A version request returns that major=14, base=6, patch=3.
When I play a movie; every 1-2 minutes, sometimes more often, the movie (Audio and Video) freezes for about 10-20 seconds and then continues. This cycle then repeats. The raspberry Pi is hardwired on a lightly loaded 10/100 LAN to my NAS server. I also have a Dune Max player which plays any movie thrown to it over the same LAN from the same source perfectly. The screen resolution is 1920x1080 and all movies are stored as mkv files at 1080P with a high def audio track e.g. DTS HD-MA.
I believe I have hardware acceleration turned on. Is there some parameter that I should also be setting / check? Is there a better performing version that I should be using?
Is this the best I should be able to get out of this hardware?
TIA for any assistance
