Hi
I posted this question yesterday but it was deleted as it was presumed I was talking about a banned add-on. Apologies - but I'm actually trying to stream AFL (Australian Football) via the official and legal Kodi add-on( which I pay for with an approved Telstra subscription account).
The moderator seemed to indicate my problem is related to the add-on, not Kodi. Can any please confirm that this is the likely cause:
When I use Kodi 17.3 for live AFL I encounter a frequent problem where the image will freeze - buffer - then fastforward to the live stream before repeating the process. It seems as if Kodi is dumping it's buffer then speeding to catch up to the live feed, only to remember that it needs to buffer it again. Frustrating.
This behaviour will generally repeat and degrade until the stream becomes unwatchable.
I've played with multiple cache setting in advancesetting.xml but they have no effect. I don't mind if Kodi buffers - in fact I'd prefer it if I can get smooth live AFL playback - my issue seems to be that Kodi wont buffer.
Any help would be appreciated.
Chris
