Setup:
Win7 x64
HDHomerunPrime (Wired connection)
Kodi 14.1
I set up XBMC and WMC with an HDHomerun Prime about 3 years ago. I could swap back and forth with relative ease, but now I've just recently upgraded to Kodi 14.1 and I hear PVR support is now baked into XBMC. Great. So I do the bare minimum setup, which consisted of installing ServerWMC and enabling the add-on in Kodi, and everything works except it's extremely slow.
Changing channels take a good 5-10 seconds and the video quality is awful. I have to use Zoom to make it go full screen, but apparently that setting is only per channel, because when I change the channel, it goes back to how it was.
So I guess my question is does it matter what I use as a PVR backend? I have no loyalty to WMC, it's just what came with the place. If there's something better, I will by all means use it. If not, then what tweaking needs to be done to make for a more smoother PVR experience in Kodi? I've seen some mention about editing the advancedsettings file, but I'm not sure if that's directly related to my problem or not.
Thanks in advance!
