Hi,
I have VDR backend set up on my Pi 2 to write recordings to an NFS mount (system-level, NAS), and during any recording, the UI freezes for a moment every few seconds, and if playing a video, drops a large amount of frames. If I set the recording directory to a USB flash drive or the SD card itself, there are no problems.
The Pi is connected to the network via wifi, with plenty of bandwidth. This did not happen in OE 5.95.2 or any 5.x for that matter, but it does in .3 and Milhouse's builds. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Edit: Forgot to mention, using omxplayer allows video to run smoothly during recordings, but not the UI

If Milhouse build has the issue, and you believe it was better in the past, you should be able to identify a specific Milhouse nightly build that went from good to bad behaviour.
Identifying that would be very useful.

Just noticed those changes you listed are under build #0625, which is the last build that works OK. Do those guesses still apply?

The thing that doesn't make sense is the "[libnfs] Add streaming cache" wasn't present in OE 5.95.2 (or any earlier builds),
so if the streaming cache is required those builds should be bad.
Also you said "NFS mount (system-level, NAS)". I assume you mean these were mounted by OS (e.g. /etc/fstab), so wouldn't be affected by kodi's libnfs.
libnfs only affects paths that kodi uses that begin with "nfs://". Are you using any paths like that from kodi?

No, the sources, as far as Kodi/VDR are concerned, are local (mounted to /pvr/Recordings). I'm not particularly familiar with linux, so I used the wiki entry from my earlier post, which worked fine until I updated.

I think the linked thread is related to your problem.
One of the fixed was in last night's Milhouse build. I've added the second fix, which should be in tonight's build.

You were right, #0723 looks good! No problems so far, though there was no VDR service addon available in the repo on that build, had to downgrade in order to get it.
Think this will make it into the upcoming OE release?
