The biggest issue is the time to tune a channel. On mythtv this is down to 2-3 seconds which is acceptable. In xbmc this is literally close to 20 seconds, not so much acceptable. Then there is the random stoppage of livetv. This is really bothersome while watching baseball as the live feed will tend and then there is a 20 second delay in starting back up, sometimes you miss a big play etc. Then there is the loss of EPG data and/or the system restarting and the system clock has been moved forward 5-6 hours which really screws up the EPG.
Is anyone else experiencing these issues?
I am running these on zotac zboxes using a netboot from a common server, the server get its tv signal thru a ceton cable card tuner.
Came here today to post about the same channel tune issue. Mine takes roughly 20sec when using xbmc and 2-3 sec when using mythtv. I actually opened a ticket a week ago on github but havent heard anything back.
Do you get random menu freezes when navigating XBMC? Almost like the computer hangs for 1-2 seconds?
Also regarding your random stoppage of live tv, I get the same thing, but it coincides with the end of a TV show. If one episode of sports center ends at 10pm Livetv stops at 10 then I have to restart to watch the next episode.
