@tjost the link to your iphone video isn't working.

sorry, now it is working

OK, i have a Raspberry Pi3 with a TV Stick. Most of the Channels work fine but some channels, TS Streams, have distortions.
Example I recorded a Channel and instead 3 Hours it show 16 hours of recording.
A lot of distortions in the picture.
Try to play the recording on my Mac. The same, even worse. On VLC on Quicktime. Final Cut or Premiere.

BUT: after plug in the HDD on my Samsung TV the recording is PERFECT! 3 Hours of recording no hick ups in the Picture.
video

VLC, mplayer, Kodi on linux, Kodi on Pi all play the sample with distortions.
I find it hard to imagine how the Samsung TV can display it perfectly.

I just wanted to say he was talking about recording, not playing.
I also say that with the TV stick is so thing, some builds work better than the others
and the RPi is very vulnerable to various background loads. For example when EPG works or other things.

I believe that better results makes an ODROID-C2, I'll probably test it soon maybe...

Just my 5 cent ;-)

Waiting for faster hardware is noch the solution I think.

The thing is that 1080p 32b/s HD Movies play fine but Live-TV playback or recordings didn't work well. But playing the .ts recording direct on my Samsung TV the playback is much better nearly perfect.
So the Problem must be in the Build.

Sorry for offtopic, but I needed to say this:

No, it does NOT.
As ARM enthusiast and owner of quite a bunch of different "pi class" devboards I can tell you that odroid-c2 while more powerful hardware-wise is much much worse supported, than the pi's (thanks to the @popcornmix's and many others excellent,awesome,outstanding work)
odroid-c2 became usable again with kodi17 and master after a big patch from peak3d (which requires kernel patches which are not yet in hardkernel's repo) has landed.
odroid-c2 kernel from hardkernel is an absolute mess, amcodec libs are pure and utter crap written by drunk monkeys.

IMO the pi3 is the way to go right now.

I also apologize for offtopic

thanks for the hint @asavah, will save me the trouble...

summarizing:
better hardware
bad software support

Thanks - I can reproduce on LE RPi2, LE Generic and also Ubuntu (using latest Kodi master). I guess it's the result of "Estuary Sync pt1"... all I now see is:

[CAM STEW]

For the past ~2 weeks the UI as been really laggy and it's gotten really bad today. I have no issue with video playing, just the UI. I thought this might be an issue with the SD card so I never mentioned it earlier, but I tried a new card and it still lags. Is anyone else having this issue?

[linkinsoldier]

Settings will be fixed in the next build by "Estuary sync pt2".

Confirmed on raspberry pi 3 with #224 build.

Edit: is there any timeplan on the new inputstream drm method to watch Amazon video on rpi 2/3?
