Occasionally i get singal glitches with live dvb-t tv. When this happens, xbmc stops playback until the buffer reaches 100% again (which tbh is annoying!). Is it possible to reduce this buffer so that playback starts immediately?
Yes i spotted that after i posted. Unfortunately it made no difference. I set the values for these to 0 (tried 5 aswell) but xbmc buffers for a few seconds after a glitch. Pressing play as its buffering starts the stream straight away but that doesnt have "waf".

<minvideocachelevel>X</minvideocachelevel>
<minaudiocachelevel>Y</minaudiocachelevel>

anyone know if there is a solution to this?
Can you try to get a debug log when this happens (you can probably yank the cable monentarily to make the stream interrupt)? It shouldn't buffer for that long.
here is the debug log

After the second line i yanked the cable for a second. XBMC then had to buffer for a few seconds before tv started again.
Switching between channels is actually quicker than it takes a channel to start playback again after buffering from a glitch. The buffering seems to be way too excessive.
Hi, that's cut again. Make a recording of this channel and post a sample of it.
We cannot really honor your feelings when it comes to buffering. The amount we need to buffer (to fill audio, video) is minimal, also think of "commercial breaks" and such.
Most errors with tvheadend are cause of the fast channel switch user experience, which ends with broken parsed headers, crashing hwdecoders and so on.
