I will have to try and find a workaround, but it is hard for the family to remember and pause every time they switch channel (if that should help, will try) Since recordings does work there should be enough speed in my Wifi. Would be nice if the LiveTV player was a little bit more forgiving, or maybe possible to change a setting and automatic let it buffer for a second or something when starting.
Not always possible to have wired connection to everything.

Pausing doesn't help.
Is there any work going on with this problem about the LiveTV player? A open ticket or something. Would be fun to follow the progress.
Besides LiveTV not being very useful now, it have never been very friendly to ff/rew or skip in paused LiveTV.

MythTV backend, v0.28 (I think), running on Raspberry Pi 3 running Raspbian (Jessie). Purchased MPEG-2 Codec is installed.
On Android, Kodi 17 Krypton will playback live TV flawlessly on phone / tablet, if I ask it to
a) disable subtitles
and
b) turn off deinterlacing.
Windows 10, Kodi 17 Krypton will playback live TV flawlessly for most channels. However, some channels will simply display a frame and not advance. No audio playback, either. What is different about these problematic channels is that I'm
a) not given an option to modify a Deinterlace method (greyed out),
and
b) there's a long, long list of Video scaling options (variants of Lanczos, Spline, etc.)
WORKAROUND... Windows 10, Kodi 17 Krypton, if I ask MythTV to record one of the problematic channels, then, navigate to Recordings & ask Kodi to
a) Allow passthrough audio,
and
b) (and, interestingly, I am allowed to) set Deinterlace to DXVA
and
c) Video scaling to Auto,
playback is great!
Any ideas?
Sure, I suppose that I can live with using recording as workaround. However, I would prefer to have Live TV work for all channels.
Thank you!

PS - Oh, I haven't tried Kodi 17 on a Linux client, yet. Just been lazy is all. If I had to guess, will likely work just as perfectly as Android. But, I may be surprised, time will tell!
