Because if you don't post a debug log, no one can work out what the hell is going wrong. In short, no debug log, no help.

Why do you post a partial log?

Why do you post a log without debugging enabled?

Please post a full log with debugging enabled from startup.

well the log is big and have not used pastebin before but a quick look in the log this is what happens:

Code:

the error part then keeps repeating but have a couple of these in between:

and a good 7 sec after trying to start:
Code:

18:26:18.715 T:140005568874240   DEBUG: Open - av_find_stream_info finished

I post the whole channel surf experience log if needed (on pastebin I guess)

...and on Jarvis this was just around 1 sec...maybe 2.

Also been experiencing this issue since the very early nightly versions of krypton on various operating systems and devices. I am thinking it must be a widespread problem as have heard other people mention it but also most likely not that many people are using iptv to switch. Will post some debug logs on various operating systems to try and solve this problem.

I have same issue ...

Kodi 17 takes few seconds(4-7sec) to load TV channels on both windows and WeTek hub

I use PVR simple client and the multicast stream come from Encoder via Gigabit LAN network.

How to minimize channel switching time?. Please advice me....

What part of "Note: Never copy/paste the log file itself into a forum post. Just post the URL." is so hard to understand?

I feel your pain, OSX user here

Switch channels take forever

Best solution just downgrade to 16.1, works like a charm.
