I can't figure this out... Tvheadend seems properly configured but the EPG won't propagate (in both TVH and Kodi the EPG is empty). The Kodi tvheadend client is properly configured inside OE, but the info below shows no new info (though the update file is 9MB). Any idea what I'm missing?

UPDATE: Even weirder, when I click a channel in the TV area of Kodi, then stop playing the channel, then click the same channel again, I get a random other channel's content. What is going on?

I was just wondering, what is causing the delay when starting a live stream? This is both when starting http/rtsp/m3u8 for the same stream. Opening in vlc is just very fast.

In the snippet below the 8 sec delay between Window Deinit and CDVDPlayer::SetCaching is exactly the delay I see in the live stream (a CCTV camera in my house). Adjusting buffermode in advancedsettings does not help.

Code:

Sure - sorry, not trying to spam this thread. What's the best way to remove the Demo channels (the fam is a little confused by it). I disabled them in the Channel Manager, but then they magically turned themselves back on (one at a time over the period of about an hour)...

Always post complete logs with debug enabled to a paste site (e.g. xbmclog.com).

Kodi is designed for file playback where data can be read faster than it is played out.

For live streams you may be better off playing through the PVR interface. The IPTV simple (Add-on:IPTV_Simple_Client) addon may be an option.

No problem, it's just that I (and maybe others here) don't know much about the PVR side, so you may have more luck asking where they do understand the PVR functionality.

Is the PVR Demo client disabled?

SOLVED
Quote:Microsoft has switched their EPG provider for their North American listings from Zap2It to Rovi and have not updated their legacy service (listings run out on 2015/07/26). It is not known if this is temporary or not. The service continues to update listings for other countries.
Solved: This is an issue with mc2xml. Looks like mc2xml will provide an updated version which fixes the broken data in the xml file with a donation. Alternatively, users can use zap2xml.

This seems to affect channels when they use different formats/bitrates for ads and shows.

Thanks for detailed bug report. I can see the cause of the MMAL issue. If you disable deinterlace it should work correctly again (would be useful if you can confirm that).

Basically the video_decode component can generate notification messages. One of these is aspect ratio has changed.
However when deinterlace is enabled we tunnel video_decode to image_fx (which does the deinterlace) and that's where the notification goes, and kodi doesn't see it.

I suspect I'll need to plumb in similar notifications from image_fx to fix this problem.

I don't understand how people are using MMAL with Live TV or recordings at all. I'm using my own RPi v2 now that I've sent my brother's off to him and even using HDMI for video and audio it stutters every 9-10s. Huh

Using only mmal on an rpi2 with a Mythtv backend. My tv streams are 1080i60 mpeg2 and play back great. Obvious question, have you licensed hardware mpeg2?

@Milhouse Wasnt able to reproduce that crashloop on the first test with #831x.

Oddly it was the fastest scp I have ever managed to get to my rPi2, (maxing at 2.8MB/s compared to 1.4MB/s max before) so im suspecting somehow there is some caching or hashing of the chunks going on and reusing the last transfer somehow? I did remove the old file on the pi, and renamed it on the source before transferring to try and prevent that.

Will try with a different large file and report if it makes the crash happen, but it seems to be a fluke so far.

A 2GB file should ensure there is minimal caching occurring.

One observation would be that you are overclocked, particularly sdram, and pushing sdram too far can result in unexplained behaviour and random crashes, so if you are able to reproduce or have other unexplained instability, it might be worth reverting sdram back to stock frequency and seeing if the situation improves.
