Live TV playback problems in some HD channels
Added by Bruno Bastos almost 10 years ago
Hello guys,
I've been dealing with this problem for a while but I haven't managed to find a solution.
I've got a lot of image artifacts in some hd channels, these same channels work normally via VLC, recordings are also working normally. The problem only happens in Kodi's Live TV,so I think it's related to tvheadend's kodi addon.
Looking at the logs I've found some logs that seems to be related to the problem:
21:06:33 T:1060 INFO: ffmpeg[424]: [h264] Cannot parallelize slice decoding with deblocking filter type 1, decoding such frames in sequential order 21:06:33 T:3776 DEBUG: CDVDPlayer::HandleMessages - player started 2 21:06:33 T:3376 DEBUG: CWinRenderer::CreateIntermediateRenderTarget: format 22 21:06:33 T:1060 INFO: ffmpeg[424]: [h264] To parallelize slice decoding you need video encoded with disable_deblocking_filter_idc set to 2 (deblock only edges that do not cross slices). 21:06:33 T:1060 INFO: ffmpeg[424]: [h264] Setting the flags2 libavcodec option to +fast (-flags2 +fast) will disable deblocking across slices and enable parallel slice decoding but will generate non-standard-compliant output. 21:06:33 T:1060 DEBUG: ffmpeg[424]: [h264] Increasing reorder buffer to 1 21:06:33 T:1060 DEBUG: ffmpeg[424]: [h264] no picture ooo 21:06:33 T:1060 DEBUG: Previous line repeats 1 times. 21:06:33 T:1060 DEBUG: ffmpeg[424]: [h264] no picture 21:06:33 T:3376 DEBUG: ------ Window Deinit (DialogSeekBar.xml) ------ 21:06:33 T:1060 DEBUG: ffmpeg[424]: [h264] unknown SEI type 2

Any help would be welcome.

I got the same problem, but I'm on XBMC 13.2 - so I wonder if the problem is really related to Kodi
It is not happening on all HD channels - only some. I also noticed that recordings are fine - suggesting the problem is related to streaming and/or the XBMC-addon.
I will see if I can pull some logs to see if there are any errors occuring in XBMC. Possible that it also got introduced in the new streaming-features added to TVHeadend lately. I've tried compiling with and without the transcode-options, but that did not change anything.
edit: Ignore my comment in regards to XBMC; my problem is different: I got the same problem in VLC when using the HTSP-plugin. While not impossible that something got borked in HTSP-streaming, I will test further...

My problem is a little bit different, VLC streaming (direct from tvh web interface) and recordings are fine.
Before I've started to use tvh as my backend I was using vdr+vnsiserver and the channels were working normally that's why I think it's tvh addon related.
