There are some fixes for n-wireless with newer kernels where there was a struct out of alignment, among other things, and the patches in OE/packages/linux-drivers/RTL8188EU/patches are no longer needed as well.

I'll include the latest commits from the rtl8188eu repo for the next few builds, and I've uploaded a Pi2 test build based on #0519 with the new RTL8188EU commits here. However I don't want to carry these commits long term, so if they're of any benefit you'll need to pester the OpenELEC developers so that master is updated.

Thanks. I'll test it out. About 50 commits over the past 15 months for RTL8188EU lol. Should help.

EDIT: @Milhouse I guess no need to add this to the next few days builds, as I still have packet loss (about half as many packets for the same Tx though), and I still have the random failed video starts. Log is pretty much the same as well: http://sprunge.us/GbKg

Since none of my other devices have an dropped packets, and this Pi is the closest device to my router, I am going to just assume its a hardware/antenna problem.
I have ordered a Panda PAU06 which I think is supported with the mt7601u driver, and has an external antenna.

Thanks. Taken a bit of hacking, but I've got your file too play and I can see the speed speed up/down.
That's the first step to solving the problem...

Different architecture therefore not possible.

Variable framerate is generally not good for smooth playback (your TV is fixed framerate).
But upload a sample (e.g. 1 minute long) and we can check if there are any slow bits that are going through an unoptimised path.

OE does provide WETEK builds now, there should also be a OE 6.0 beta (Kodi v15) version available.

My rpi2 with Milhouse builds seems to be quicker even with wetek better hardware on openelec.

That's because Kodi on RPI is around for quite some time and popcornmix and others optimized the PI specific stuff in Kodi as well as the PI's firmware to run as rock solid and fast as it does right now. Given that Wetek is rather new it's working really well, but there is ofc room for improvements.
There are for sure some tweaks in Milhouse builds that would also benefit other embedded devices (like the wait animation change, not calculating total duration on lists, ...), they just didn't make it to the core yet.
