Full Version: RPi2: Playback stops after 5-10 seconds
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Hello,

I'm running OpenELEC 5.95.3 with VDR PVR backend addon 6.0.1 on a Raspberry Pi 2.
Watching downloaded media is fine, from SD mpeg2 content to 1080p h264.
But watching live TV via VDR/VNSI is not working properly, as the playback stops after 5-10 seconds.
Also, the debug overlay shows CPU3 going to 100% after the playback stops.

Here is the Kodi Debug log: http://sprunge.us/iZCd
And the journalctl with vdr logging set to 3: http://sprunge.us/EZdN

In Settings - TV - Guide, both "Prevent updates during playback" and "Don't cache in local database" are disabled.
vdr setup.conf is unmodified except for UpdateChannels which I set from 5 to 3 so that my channels.conf doesn't grow to 1200 satellite channels.

Kind regards

Go to configuration dialog of vnsi and set priority to 0.
Had the same problem here with OE 5.95.3 (VDR TV playback stops after 5-10 seconds) and solved it by changing the process priority in VDR VNSI client to 0.

Should be set to 0 as standard in my opinion. Thanks a lot.
