17 seconds buffering/loading at start

Hi All

Just wondering would anyone will be able help me. My Samsung (ks7000) with siptv app at start of the tv program loads this channel for 17-18 seconds. Its fine then no buffering,no problems at all, just start. Doesn't matter cable or wifi both same issue, other tv with siptv 4 seconds, laptop 2 seconds. Got channels from 3rd party provider and 4 seconds. My configuration is libreelec 9, tvh 4.2.6.

Regards

This is a problem with cannot be solve with easy steps.

First, Tv decoder and cpu power is equal to 10 years old phone even worst.
Hardware decoding OK software demuxing worst then you can imagine.

Second Stream need to have specific parameters to start faster

try with transcoding
or try with HLS streaming
this was the only way to make my tv to work with 30Mbps 4K stream

Yes but I need ordinary 1080p channels, second thing that 3rd party iptv provider can handle 3-4 seconds on wifi from place somewhere in the world. Will try with settings you provide and will see.

You can try this simple test

ffmpeg -y -probesize 15000000 -analyzeduration 12000000 -i http://TVH.IP:9981/stream/channelid/123456789 -user_agent HLS -strict -2 -dn -acodec copy -vcodec copy -hls_flags delete_segments -hls_time 5 -hls_list_size 8 /var/www/html/test_.m3u8

this will post hls stream in default apache home dir
from tvh stream
replace
http://TVH.IP:9981/stream/channelid/123456789 with your test tv stream
and
/var/www/html with your web folder
/can be used any web server without problem/

you need to create M3U playlist with content:

#EXTINF:0,NAME_OF_STREAM
http://Apache_ip:80/test_.m3u8
