Hey Krusty, hope all is well. It's been awhile but I helped you debug some issues a couple of years ago and have donated to your paypal in the past. Thanks again for your continued efforts.
I've typically avoided streaming active recordings for years now as it just never seemed to work for me. My household got in the habit of "we'll watch it when its done recording" Lately I've had some time to try and diagnose why the active recording streaming has been pretty rough for me.
Firstly I realized I had comskip scanning not only the active recording file but the tempswmc files. I have since disabled the tempswmc directory entirely as well as instructed comskip to wait until the file is done growing in the main recorded tv folder.
So tonight I tried to watch an active recording and what currently happens (and this is hard to describe)... The video plays perfectly fine however it seems to .... skip frames. That's the best way to describe it... it looks like something is playing at 15fps. So I decided to look at the kodi stats and it shows the video file playing is 120fps.
I would wager that for whatever reason kodi playing and or thinking the stream is 120fps is the cause of this "dropped frame effect"
I can provide a log, I'm unsure if i need to enable advanced debug or something, just let me know. Thanks.
