On my home network everything is plugged in via Ethernet cable.
On this network I have a Plex server with dizqueTV installed to make several IPTV channels from local videos. FFMPEG transcoding in dizqueTV is disabled and video buffering is set to 0 seconds. I can play one of these channels (http://198.168.X.X:8000/video?channel=1) as a network stream in VLC on a different computer and it loads the channel in under a second.
On this network I also have a Raspberry Pi 4 with Kodi installed via LibreELEC as well as the IPTV Simple Client add-on. I've setup my dizqueTV m3u file in the IPTV Simple Client settings and I'm able to watch and flip through all my dizqueTV IPTV channels. I don't have anything else installed in Kodi and I'd like to use this device as a dedicated IPTV watching device.
My problem is that it takes about a third of a minute for each channel to change. When it does the current channel freezes for most of the time, then a still image of the next channel shows for about a second and then it starts playing.
I've tried to change settings to speed this up but 22 seconds is my best speed. In Settings/Service/Caching I have Buffer Mode set to "No buffer". In Settings/PVR & Live TV/Guide I have Default selection action set to "Switch to channel". In Settings/PVR & Live TV/Playback I have delay channel switch set to "0 ms", Confirm channel switches by pressing OK "disabled", and Show channel information when switching channels set to "Off". In Settings/PVR & Live TV/Recording I have Instant recording action set to "Ask what to do" (I wish there was a disable option since I never would want to record any of my live TV channels). In Settings/Player/Videos I have Allow using DRM PRIME decoder "disabled", Allow hardware acceleration with DRM PRIME "disabled", and Allow hardware deinterlace with DRM PRIME "disabled".
Are there any tips on how I can make my IPTV channels switch faster?
