RE: PVR IPTV Simple Client Add-on - Takes too long to change channel - navy1978_1 - 2015-05-31
Hi hman,
No I was talking about the situation of my system without apply the patch, But I have just tried to follow your suggestion and rebuild Kodi, but I have this problem: After downloading Kodi and the patch, if I execute: "./bootstrap", I have the following error:
pi@raspberrypi ~/kodi $ ./bootstrap
autoreconf -vif .
make: autoreconf: Command not found
bootstrap.mk:34: recipe for target 'configure' failed
make: *** [configure] Error 127
And if I proceed with the next step: "git apply ../kodi-http-stream.patch", I have this other error:
pi@raspberrypi ~/kodi $ git apply ../kodi-http-stream.patch
../kodi-http-stream.patch:48: trailing whitespace.
/*!
../kodi-http-stream.patch:49: trailing whitespace.
\brief Some sources do not support HTTP HEAD request to determine i.e. mime type
../kodi-http-stream.patch:50: trailing whitespace.
\return false if HEAD requests have to be avoided
../kodi-http-stream.patch:51: trailing whitespace.
*/
../kodi-http-stream.patch:52: trailing whitespace.
bool ContentLookup() { return true; };
fatal: corrupt patch at line 633
Have you any idea of what could be the problem?
An help will be much appreciated...
Thanks!

sorry navy1978_1,
i added patches on gist
https://gist.github.com/armando-basile
you only need to add a newline at the end of files and apply.
RE: PVR IPTV Simple Client Add-on - Takes too long to change channel - danyus - 2015-06-03
Hi , i didn't understand if the problem is solved at all...
i'm asking this because the ticket is open without solution, and author of addon asked for someone who knows pvr part better than he do, as you can see here:
http://trac.kodi.tv/ticket/15918#comment:49
So if you have solved this, you should suggest afedchin how to implement this in his addon to share this to community.
RE: PVR IPTV Simple Client Add-on - Takes too long to change channel - afedchin - 2015-06-03
afedchin know about it already. this is hack and not solves issue.
RE: PVR IPTV Simple Client Add-on - Takes too long to change channel - navy1978_1 - 2015-06-04
Hi Hman,
I have already fixed the problem with the patch (problem was related with CTRL-M (^M) in file I think you are using Windows to develop), but my problem is that the compilation on RaspBerry doesn't work, also if I have added tons of libraires, and I cannot understand wich is the library missed.
Just a stupid question, do you know if can I compile kodi on another linux machine adn after put it in Raspberry, maybe the missed libraries on Raspberry are present on different distribution like Ubuntu.
Please let me know.
Thanks!
Have a nice day

That's right, but as I mentioned on the ticket that is not always possible. Streaming services like Grooveshark issue a kind of pre-authorised URL to a service which can't be used for http HEAD requests. Every access of the url other than read would invalidate the service. For this reason we need some mechanism to explicitly avoid HEAD requests.
But this mechanism should not be abused by services being too lazy to implement proper http protocols.
Have you decided on fixing this or we're stuck on 13.2 ? Thanks.
RE: PVR IPTV Simple Client Add-on - Takes too long to change channel - Sajk - 2015-06-27
Has anybody built a version from source with the "hack" that they talk about in the open ticket? Would anyone be kind to upload a version in that case? I would love to do it myself but my skills in this department are pretty much useless.
RE: PVR IPTV Simple Client Add-on - Takes too long to change channel - navy1978_1 - 2015-06-27
Hi Sajk,
Nope...
I'm still blocked with the error:
checking for main in -lgpg-error... no
configure: error: Could not find a required library. Please see the README for your platform.
And the library is istalled but there is somtething else wrong... that I don't understand...
Unfortunately nodody answer to my question, so I'm thinking to buy a iptv receiver it costs 50 euros and works out of the box...
Sorry...
In any case there is a ticket opened about the problem of the topic: http://trac.kodi.tv/ticket/15918 but it seems that will be not included in the future version (15), so it seems we have to wait too long...
It is really a shame that compile kodi on raspberry is so hard and aparently doesn't work anymore, as you can see in another post I have found on this forum:

Looks Kodi 16 might bring us a solution https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/7407

Hi!!
I just logged in because I´m on the same boat (tried my m3u list on kodi windows with PVR IPTV Simple Client and channel switching was taking 15 seconds), and looked everywhere for a simple solution before I decided to throw my money on a RPi2...
And the answer appears to be here:
https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=113424
Quote:by tommyv » Fri Jul 10, 2015 6:26 am
Here's patched version for RPi2, including 15.0 RC1, haven't tried it yet as my Rpi2 still hasn't arrived, but the developer claims the patch fixes delay in channel switching
http://www.alexelec.ru/sborka-alexelec-rpi2-1-5-20150709-raspderry-pi-2-mysql/
using google translate:
In «Kodi» added patch «add a method to avoid requeting HTTP Header», which eliminates the delay of 10 seconds when you open the stream with an empty «HTTP Header». It is for viewing IPTV via plug «IPTV Simple Client».
EDIT: my Rpi2 arrived and can confirm this release works as advertised (kodi 15 final) http://www.alexelec.ru/sborka-alexelec- ... erry-pi-2/
I´ll buy and build my 1st Pi tomorrow and will post results here.
RE: PVR IPTV Simple Client Add-on - Takes too long to change channel - MetalicMan - 2015-08-27
Ok, build and configured it. With Alexelec Build I can confirm that the timeout is gone. It´s not as quick as VLC player, but I found it reasonable. 3-5 seconds changing channel in kodi it´s way better than 15 seconds...

But that was a paid build yes. Do you want to upload the correct non paid build then?

If you put it on translator, it says free, and if you want you can donate something. You just got to follow the links:

Yes nice........BUT that's only for 5 day's, correct me if I am wrong but that's what I have seen last week, maybe they changed it now.
