Dropped frames in Kodi
0%
Description
I'm getting a lot of dropped frames when playing Live TV in Kodi. The debug log in TVHeadend shows nothing special.
The other relevant logs can be seen in this post: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=231955&pid=2288583#pid2288583 .
It happens both with hardware acceleration (VAAPI) enabled and disabled.
journalctl -u tvheadend -S "today" only shows entries like:

I also just upgraded to the latest git version.

do you see any discontinuities in the webif when playing a channel?

No, all I see is:
2016-03-22 17:48:39.510 mpegts: 11739V in Astra 3 - tuning on TurboSight TBS 6981 DVBS/S2 frontend : DVB-S #0

And nothing else, even with debugging enabled.

Have you tried vlc with this URL: 'vlc http://TVH_IP:9981/playlist?profile=matroska' ? It uses almost same code as kodi plugin, so if it works, your kodi is somewhat broken.

I used the following link:
http://192.168.3.1:9981/play/stream/channel/1a6acb1de72a9b14f2a4593c718f8a74?title=1%20%3A%20NPO1%20HD
Seems to work fine in VLC. No dropped frames.
I thought it might have been an issue with Kodi after opening this issue. Previous versions of Kodi work fine.
I'll try to find the issue at Kodi. Thanks :)

The test should use matroska media container (?profile=matroska or add &profile=matroska to the end of your URL). If you use 'mpegts passthrough', it might not show some bugs.

Seems this was a bug with Kodi: https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.hts/issues/209
I haven't tested it yet but it should be fixed now.
Thanks.
