Channel switching was very slow on kodi17.4, takes up to 10-15 seconds.


was almost broken, but i found a simple work around  to make it similar to Jarvis (3 seconds or less).

Don't use "master.m3u8" as stream URL sources in your channel list

Example:

(this stream will takes a huge load time in the PVR)

http://a3live-lh.akamaihd.net/i/mghds/ge...aster.m3u8

Now inside that m3u8 file are 8 URL for different stream qualities, looks like this:

#EXTM3U

Choose the one that is better for your needs, example:


http://a3live-lh.akamaihd.net/i/mghds/ge...&rebase=on




put it in your channel list, it will make a night to day  difference in the loading time .
