Video stutters when seeking via FF/RW
#1
I've haven't been able to get fast-forward & rewind to work smoothly in Kodi. Is this a common problem or is my Pi just poorly configured?

I'm using a RPi Model 2B running OpenELEC 6.0.3. I'm playing back a 1080i60 broadcast recording saved onto the micro SD card. Seeking works, but its very stuttery, particularly as the seek speed increases (>4x). Stuttering persists even after increasing the buffer in advancedsettings.xml.

The video will seek smoothly for a second or two, then stutter. The buffer in the video progress bar looks like it gets reset every time the video stutters. Increasing the buffer settings just caused the buffer to grow larger/faster before being reset upon every stutter. Everything else on my Pi works fine. Any ideas?

Are you using MMAL or OMXPlayer?
OMXPlayer is much smoother for me. Although it has other problems.
