Tune TVHeadend/XBMC to run soccer games more fluently?
Tune TVHeadend/XBMC to run soccer games more fluently?
Hi guys,
yesterday the EURO 2012 soccer championship ended => Congrats Spain! 
What I've seen during the last couple of weeks is that soccer does not run fluently at all.
You can see it when the ball flies through the air that it gets jerky... also when the player names scroll horizontally through the screen - also jerky. I watched the final on a friend's TV (Humax DVB Receiver) and everything was very fluent and not jerky at all, so it can't be the signal. I really couldn't enjoy the soccer game(s).
So I'm looking for a way to tune XBMC so that it runs live TV more fluently. Is there anything I can tune? On the TVHeadend side... on the XBMC side... in FFMPEG or whatever?!
I've set deinterlacing to "auto". Also tried "off" (for HD content) - but nothing really helped me here.
Input channel:
HD channel (ZDF HD - German HD channel)
Hardware:
Mystique DVB S2 dual express
Intel i3 2105 (with HD3000 GPU)
I don't think that it's a hardware issue... because there are no heavy CPU spikes or what so ever...
Greetz,
Sascha

no need to look at tvheadend .... tvheadend just passes the datastream it received from the tuner directly yo XBMC via the htps protocol. So you need to look on the XBMC side to get it to play correctly. Do you also see this with recordings?

Hi Hein,
that's what I thought. Actually I have no idea whether the recordings are as bad as live tv... never recorded any soccer games, but I'll investigate. I also think that it has something to do with deinterlacing the stream...
thank you for your response!!!
