Is there something seriously wrong with this plugin? I get constant dropped audio, choppy video and quite often buffering. Why the hell is it buffering when it's all on my internal network? It IS operating over wifi currently but the router is new and high performance (ASUS RT-N66 - Dual Band up to 900 Mbps) and has zero problems streaming movies and tv off our NAS or via Netflix/Amazon Prime.
I did try to setup PVR capability on it a couple weeks ago but could never get it working, I disabled/uninstalled all that though so I don't think it's that. I've also upgraded to the latest version of the HDHomerun plugin. I'm on Jarvis. Any ideas what to try for this?

Is this the HDHomeRun View video addon you are having problems with, or the PVR client? The mods keep moving the video addon threads into the PVR thread, and it makes it difficult to offer support

Are you on the current firmware? 20161117/20161119 is the current version of the firmware.
SD has been changing their backend/DNS, which normally would not matter, except the HDHR devices must communicate with SD's servers in order to receive their DeviceAuth tokens. As SD continues to muck with their backend, tweaking and constantly updating the firmware seems to be only way keep the devices functioning properly.

Updated the firmware to version 20161119.
Unfortunately all the same problems persist...the most pronounced is that I get video with no audio at all (or it comes in a bit then drops out completely for minutes on end). This is really frustrating because when I first set the unit up it worked pretty much seamlessly (except for the occasional blip that would only last 1-2 secs). Now it does it on all channels, really annoying.

Do you have wired or wifi?

UPDATE 2: I managed to get the HDHomerun VIEW app working after doing some research over on the SD site. The difference for me was that my HTPC has WIN7 ver N installed which means it is not packaged with Media Center and all that stuff.
You have to install it separately, (which I did), just to get the app to launch...but still the black screen with just audio on that machine. What I wound up doing was in the HDHomerun config I had to change the transcoding profile to "None". This works perfectly in the VIEW app. Interestingly, it also seems to improve the performance within Kodi as well but it's still choppy and pixelated sporadically and it drops out whereas it does not in the VIEW app.

Do you have the ability to use a ethernet cable? Maybe with a powerline adapter
