Having a codec problem causing SD (576i) contents to stutter.
Running Tvheadend on a NAS server, and Kodi 16.0 (Google Play) on a AMLogic S905, Android 5.1 box (
http://www.geekbuying.com/item/MXQ-Pro-4...61629.html)
In Kodi settings, 3 codecs are available and enabled:
amcodec
MediaCodec (Surface)
MediaCodec
The following contents play smoothly through the Tvheadend HTSP add-on:
1. HD 1080i TV channels - Live stream (e.g. 9HD)
2. HD 1080i TV channels - Recorded shows
3. SD 576i TV channels - Live stream (e.g. ABC2)
However, playback is stuttered heavily when playing SD 576i recorded shows. Shows are recorded using the default Tvheadend profile ("pass"), no transcoding.
Disabling amcodec elimiates the 576i stuttering, but HD channels and recordings all have massive frame drops.
How do I debug and fix this situation?
EDIT: Have verified that everything is running @ PAL 50Hz, and I've applied the chmod 666 fix via Universial init.d
