Hello everyone,
just yesterday i set up my new FireTV stick to watch TV from my server via recording service. Running Kodi 15 and the DVB Viewer addon that ships with it.
It works, but badly. It works fine on both my Zboxes with DVB Viewer Client so it doesn't seem to be the server that's messing things up.
If i don't use RTSP i have serious stutters and the video pauses every few seconds to rebuffer. I am already using the low ressources setting. If it doesn't rebuffer the video is out of sync with sound. RTSP seems to have a much lower quality or am i imagining things? (30GB 1080p h264 MKV play fine, so i doubt it's a bandwidth problem). I tested SD and HD channels with the same results.
Channel switching is a pain. If i try to switch while watching a channel, either via remote control buttons or via the GUI buttons, Kodi crashes completely. I can go back to the channel list and select a different channel without problems though.
Are those common problems or did i mess up somewhere?
I hope someone can help me out with those problems, i googeled for quite a while but couldn't find a fix. It needs to be wife friendly for me, if you know what I mean. If you need any kind of logs or other information I'd be glad to provide those for you, i just don't know what you might need and how to produce it.
Greetings and thanks in advance,
Sionzris
