Well, today I tried the version that was included on the RPi build of OpenElec 3.1.0. I didn't put credentials in the URL as its not needed. I created an M3U file with URLs like this:
http://192.168.0.12:9981/stream/channelid//2?mux=pass
It sortof works, but it's not without problems:
- Playback freezes sometime while audio continues to play.
- HD channel playback start with a lot of mosaic blocks and screetching sound. The lasts a few seconds before it corrects itself.
- Flipping between channels is slow. It looks like every channel switch needs at least 5 seconds of buffering.
- I've noticed the audio getting out of sync with the video quote a few times.
In some respects it works better than the TvHeadend add-on on RPi:
- IPTVSimple does not show black screens.
- With IPTVSimple the aspect ratio seems to be correct whereas the TvHeadend add-on mostly gets it wrong.
