1080p Video playback stuttering
Added by Wayne Brunskill almost 7 years ago
Evening,
I've only just started using tvheadend with DVB-t usb devices to receive tv. Previously it was done by DVB-S. The problem appears only related to playback within Kodi, if I use VLC without Kodi streaming, there are no issue with playback. If I have Kodi viewing TV at the same time as VLC, both players will stutter.
I've tested the system with 4 1080p channels (4 instances of VLC) on one PC and all played back without error (was done on 2 different PCs), as soon as Kodi is introduced all the streams start have issues - stuttering mainly and some buffering.
The TVheadend was complied from source on Udoo Quad core board - no video decrypting is done, just tv streaming (no ffmpeg). The udoo board current has a 320Gbyte SSD attach for storage and 2 DVB-t receivers. Both SSD and DVB-t receivers are working correctly.
