I run kodi on a remote instance (vnsi client). It ist connected to my vdr server (vnsiserver) by openvpn via a fast Internet (100Mbit down 40Mbit up) connection. This bandwith exists on both sides of the connection.

The problem is the following: Streaming HD live TV either 1080i@50Hz or 720p@50Hz does work smoothly even on 12Mbit/s. Streaming these media as recordings gives stuttering sound and video! Source of TV channels is either Sat or cable.

Is there any difference between these streaming types -Live TV- or -Recordings- of these TV channels which could be the reason for it?

On the local network (GigaBit) everything works as it should.

Any Idea?

This is actually completely different. Live TV uses vnsi parser/demuxer and the server provides packets to the client. That you would call streaming.

Recordings are handled by ffmpeg demuxer and reading a file is the same mechanism as reading it locally just via a socket. That may cause issues when used on a wan.

With a little effort mechanism 1) could be made available for recordings too. I use it for testing the demuxer with recordings.

That sounds interesting. Are you willing to provide me a patch for vnsiserver to test it? I'm not able to code it, but I can test it.
