Hi there 
First of all i'd like to say, that iptv simple client works surprisingly well for me. I didn't believe it would be that easy, to watch the Channels provided by my IPTV Provider using Kodi on my RPi2 instead of the STB.
But unfortunately two Problems are left so far:
1.) Dolby Digtal + / EAC3 Problems
Some of the Channels are only provided with EAC3/DD+ sound with no chance of switching to stereo or standard ac3. Every single DD+ Channel shows me a video playback which is green most of the time and full of pixels. Sound doesn't even appear.
2.) Sometimes Video/Audio Asynchronity
Sometimes after switching channels Video and Audio aren't synchronous any more. This happens independent from a channel or the Video or Audio Codec the Channel provides. And if there is asynchronity on one channel, directly switching the channel again doesn't help. In this case the others are asynchronous too and only stopping playback and restarting playback again helps ... sometimes ... sometimes i even have to restart PVR or the RPi itself
Kodi Version: Kodi 14.2 Helix
Hardware: RPi 2 on HDMI
IPTV Client: IPTV Simple Client
Playlist looks like:
I hope somebody can give advice
thanks

EDIT:
Whenever the channel is getting asynchronous, the log is writing those lines:
21:46:40 T:1295508544 DEBUG: ffmpeg[4D37E440]: RTP: missed 28 packets
21:46:40 T:1295508544 DEBUG: ffmpeg[4D37E440]: RTP: missed 32 packets
21:46:40 T:1295508544 DEBUG: ffmpeg[4D37E440]: RTP: missed 26 packets
and so on ....
Could there be a way to prevent missing packets?
