How to increase buffering for internet radio station (IPTV MUX)
Added by Marco Jakobs about 7 years ago
Hi,
finding a proper way to play my proper internet radio stations I ended up with my Kodi frontend (Raspi 2) connected to my AV Receiver. I've configured my radio stations (DI and Radiotunes premium subscription) as discussed here in the forum as IPTV feed, the MUX URL looks like this:
pipe://ffmpeg -loglevel fatal -i http://prem1.di.fm:80/vocaltrance?xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -vn -acodec copy -metadata service_provider=DI -metadata service_name=Vocal_Trance -tune zerolatency -f mpegts -mpegts_service_type digital_radio pipe:1
It appears correctly as a radio station and plays quite well, but from time to time there is a one second drop in the output. That's a bit annoying and it appears that TVH does not buffer enough data to deal with short delays of the input stream.
I can't really see a setting to adjust the input buffer ... having a 3 seconds buffer should solve that but where can I set this? The "buffering limit" setting in the MUX does not seem to help here ...
