I will try to explain again. After installing kodi 19.1. I started to install the simple client from the official kodi repository, automatically I was asked to install ffmpeg 1.21.3 and I agreed with that. Then, after setting up iptv, catch up and timeshift, I started watching TV broadcasts and testing catchup and timeshift (rewind) channels. Watching TV programs and catch up works without problems, but when rewinding or play / pause, it freezes. You are advised to install a different version of ffmpeg (1.21.1, 1.21.2 or a test build from phunkyfish). I tried to install each of them but every time I got the error "could not install addon from zip. Addon does not have correct structure". Perhaps it was necessary to remove the installed version of ffmpegdirect (1.21.3) with simple client 7.6.5. All this time I have installed version 1.21.3 which was installed along with simple client 7.6.5. This is the first time I work with this program, so I ask for help.

I will try this. I have always selected x86_64 files, not i686

Everything works fine. The only issue that I face is running (live) catchup.
Let's say a show started at 8.00 pm and ends at 9.00 pm.
Right now its 8.10 pm and i play the show from beginning.
She show will play for 10 minutes and is stopped automatically. Kodi won't refresh the running state.
So in fact kodi just cuts out the video from 8.00 to 8.10 and "pastes" it into the player.
The ugly workaround can be done by starting the catchup again. So it's now 8.11 pm and I start the catchup again from 8.00 pm. Now I can watch till 8.11 pm. And so on. That's just nasty.
Any ideas? While watching that 10 minutes, the length of the video has to grow of course, same as if u watch live TV. Instead of streaming live TV, kodi has to keep on streaming that further growing catchup source into the memory somehow.

[quote="phunkyfish" pid='3070602'
It should splice in the live feed at 8:10, and then play till 8:20, then splice in the next 10 minutes and so on. It’s not a perfect splice but it doesn’t effect viewing too much.
So by saying "it", you mean the Provider?
Can I do anything to fix it on client side?
Splicing sounds good but I dont know what to do.
