Hi all,
Iam new at the forum and need some help from some experienced guys like you .
My Setup:
Currently I use WIN-MC (8.1) with Shark-Codec Pack and use it for view Movies (Bluray/MKV) and (important for my wife) » Satellite TV (DVB2) with a “Cine2” from DigitalDevices).
Situation:
WIN 10 doesn’t support WIN-MC and also on WIN8.1 WIN-MC doesn´t performs really good / support a lot of things (which XBMC and now Kodi supports via Plugins)
My tries with XBMC & Kodi since the last 3 years:
I tried the most Versions at the last 3 years.. and liked it a lot.. but always when it comes to LiveTV I had quality issues (stripes in the video, bad quality (compression look), color-loss etc.)… in the end effect it doesn´t looked as good as WIN-Mediacenter.. and I switched back.
I tried: ServerWMC, NextPVR, MediaPortal…. But in all no success or bad imagequality during Sat-TV!
My ask for help:
I always thought maybe this is not really good because Kodi has no access directly on my physicial hardware (Cine2 PCIe Card) like Mediacenter and so the backend <> client solution leads to this losses?!
My pain currently with WIN-MC is on a higher level again which leads me to ask for help now
So:
Has someone a similar physical setup and use-case (Windows, DVB2 Card » watch Sat-TV and Bluray/MKV) which works well (performance & quality)?
Any ideas how to setup & configure my system with Kodi (and Plugins/Addons) to reach good performance and quality?
Other tipps & tricks?
Look forward for your feedback.
