hi all - i'm seeing an odd problem on my install of kodi as a client for tvheadend.
playing regular video from files plays for 8 seconds and then freezes, but never restarts. network traffic is low.
live OTA TV plays for 8 seconds and then pauses for 10-12 in a very regular cycle. the CPU of kodi.bin cycles simultaneously from <5% to 100%+ (of 400% for 4 cores), but the surprising thing is that it's when the CPU is high that the video plays, and when it's low the video stops. the cpu goes up and video works for 8 seconds, then the cpu goes down to idle and the video stops (with the '100' buffering progress showing) for 10-12 seconds.
(the tvheadend install is working fine, as i can simultaneously play uninterrupted video from that same channel on the live tv viewer on a remote machine on port 9981.)
the problem may not be with the add-on...when playing regular video from files - it also plays for 8 seconds and then freezes, but never restarts. network traffic is low.
any ideas as to where to start?
ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
kodi 19.0.0 (over x11docker using erichough/kodi docker image)
tvheadend htsp client 8.2.2
tvheadend 4.3-1940~gfe0e5f1f9 HTSP v35
GPU mesa DRI intel hd 4600
i5 4 core
