I'm having major buffering problems with the Twitch addon on Kodi 18, and also the browsing of menus and opening of streams is very sluggish.
Running on a Raspberry Pi 3 B+, latest LibreElec 8.95 which has Kodi 18 RC and Twitch 2.4.1.
First of all opening "Live Channels" takes a long time, and then opening a stream after that takes even longer. Then I get 2 seconds of video, then it needs to buffer for 10 seconds, working for 1 second, buffering again, ad infinitum.
It doesn't matter if I manually set the resolution to 720p30 or if I use the inputstream adaptive method. It still takes a long time to start, navigate to and open streams, and with adaptive mode I get it in 320x220 resolution or something to that effect. Granted, no buffering issues then, but I know I should be able to play these streams in 720 easily. Maybe not 60fps, but definitely 30. My inferior RP3 can do that without a hitch.
I don't get why this is happening. I have a Raspberry Pi 3 non-plus model with Kodi 16.1 with Twitch (also 2.4.1) and navigating through channels is instant, opening channels is instant and without any buffering issues.
My internet is also not the issue, I have 200mbps down which should be more than sufficient. And again, my other RP has no issues.
I want to use Kodi 18 because of the Netflix plugin, but if I can't get Twitch to work it's a no go.
So what gives? Anybody have a clue what could be going on?
